My Review
Children love picture books and This Is Clare is a delightful read. Clare is a pet greyhound dog who is filled with energy and fun. Clare accompanies her owner all over town, enjoying many great adventures. Clare is sweet and curious and her owner often has to tug her away from a naughty act. But, Clare is a typical dog who loves to cuddle with her owner at home. They visit the temple, the market, and the park. Clare loves having many places to run and play.
This Is Clare is filled with sight-words that rhyme and will be helpful for children who are learning to speak English. The illustrations are vivid and lovely. Children will fall in love with Clare after reading such a sweet story. The book teaches inclusion, a giving attitude, and kindness. I recommend this book.
