This is such an adorable and cute story for little ones. It will reinforce social skills and reduce fears when it comes to making friends.
The illustrations are perfect for the story and I'm certain this will be a regular read in many a home.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

“Sometimes the stuff we’re scared of turns out to not be so scary after all.”

Lucy & Clark: A Story of Puppy Love is a sweet children’s book that follows a dog named Clark as he attempts to make a new friend at the dog park. It also includes themes of being brave and facing your fears.

I chose not to give Lucy & Clark a star rating as I am obviously not the intended audience*.However, I am a preschool teacher, who reads stories to her students almost daily, so I know my way around a good picture book. This one, in particular, was very enjoyable. The plot had enough substance to it that it held even my attention. I loved the themes of being brave, facing your fears, and making friends. The illustrations are also very beautiful. Overall, this is neither the best children’s book I’ve ever read, nor a classroom staple, but I do think that it is worth the read, and your students could get something very valuable from it.

*In my original review on Goodreads, I chose not to give Lucy & Clark: A Story of Puppy Love a star rating. As I’m required to include a star rating with my review on Netgalley, I have given it a slightly above average three stars.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Wonderful book that shows children it's ok to be scared of new things and making friends. My grandkids loved it. I hope to see many more books from this couple. Enjoy! 📚

This book is adorable. The imagery is amazing. There’s a wonderful message to the story and it uses relatable dogs to tell that important message. Highly recommend this book! Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read this for free!
