Booklist - 09/15/2022 While most dogs enjoy a long walk or a romp in the park, timid Dot prefers staying home and playing with her beloved squeaky toy, a little blue elephant named Peep. Every day, the two best friends patrol the garden together, but one day, after Dot falls asleep, another dog enters through a broken fence and takes Peep to the park. Fearful but determined, Dot ventures out to save Peep. More dogs gather to join the fun, chasing each other around the park. Soon Dot realizes that she and Peep are unexpectedly enjoying themselves. Still, fearful of losing her friend, she doesn’t return to the park until all the dogs bring their own toys to join in the wild rumpus. McLaren, a British illustrator, creates endearing illustrations through her use of rounded shapes, her choice of gentle colors, and her lovable portrayals of the canine characters. With a simply worded text that reads aloud well, this playful picture book may encourage even timid children to try something new before deciding that they don’t like it. - Copyright 2022 Booklist.
