From Publishers Weekly
This maudlin account of an abandoned puppy taken in by a loving family is a tale only a sentimentalist could love. Pippo, as the pup is known, tells of being snatched rudely from his mother and given as a present to a boy, mistreated ("'Come here?now!' meant it was finally time to take a walk outside"), being left in the wintry woods ("they threw a little stick.... but when I returned proudly with the stick clenched in my teeth, I was completely alone") and eventually rescued by kindhearted folks who take him into their "people-kennel." Life improves immeasurably for the grateful Pippo, who earnestly describes how "I look after my family." Watercolors depict Pippo (allegedly a dachshund) as a generic pup; Pippo's pudgy body and bulbous feet may be stuffed-animal cute, but they're indistinct compared to the more realistic sketches of people. Four wan foldouts, including one of a miserable Pippo at the bottom of the mean family's cellar stairs, halfheartedly court the pop-up book audience. Ages 4-8.
