Book: Poppy & Frank

A poodle and a bulldog, best friends. Down a pastel boulevard lined with little potted trees, where a tower pokes up through a powder-blue sky, a tall pink poodle with the longest eyelashes takes her morning stroll. Trotting at her side is a small black-and-white bulldog with ears like satellite dishes and a grin to match. One is all curls and elegance; one is all stub and swagger. Together they are clearly the best of friends, and that's the sweet little secret this book hands to your kiddo, one chunky page at a time. It's a charmer for the dog-lover in the family and a cozy lap-read for anyone who knows the best pairs don't have to match. Storybook-pretty, board-book tough, and ready for a thousand bedtime walks down that very same pretend street.
