This beautiful book is a perfect gift for parents with a newborn baby. The comforting text is ideal for a soothing bedtime story. The simple text of love, caring and protection is accompanied by adorable illustrations of animals and dinosaurs that hug, help, and protect a human child. I would like to thank NetGalley and HMH Books For Young Readers for the opportunity to read and review this book. I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a honest review. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a young reader in their life.

I thought this book was upbeat and positive and would make a great addition to a family library or a school library. I thought this added a little extra to the story. I enjoyed the fact that Sam, June’s dog, can talk. I thought that it was well written and the illustrations that were included were bright and well drawn and added a lot to the story. It stressed family, friendship and pets (that may be magical). This is a cute chapter book for young readers. Will her new best friend believe her if she tells her? (Goodreads) Also, June has a secret: her dog Sammy can talk, but only she can hear him. Whether it’s pretending to be a dog for a day or collecting things that are blue, the girls never know what each day will bring. * According to the USDA database, sprouted legumes contains dozens and even hundreds percentages more of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients per calorie than legumes that weren't sprouted.In this chapter book for young readers, June is thrilled to get a new neighbor: Mae!

Sprouting makes favorite foods healthier, and the legumes' sprouts can be used raw in a salad or as a snack, and they also make a great alternative in any recipes that contain legumes.
