The hilarious follow-up to 15 Things Not to Do with a Baby has all the warmth and humour of its predecessor, focusing on the relationship between children and their granny. DON'T hide an elephant in Granny's bed. DON'T send Granny up to the moon in a rocket, or wear her pants onyour head, or give her squashed jelly beans on toast for breakfast. But do...dance with Granny, listen to Granny's stories, hug her and love her lots. She loves you!

K-Gr 2—Brimming with positive energy—smiling faces, wagging tails, and even a "happy dance," this book outlines a series of "Don'ts" for young owners of puppies. End pages introduce the pencil and watercolor art with colorful sketches of multiple dog breeds, leading to a description of happy and healthy dogs, scenes of possible unhappy training disasters, and the "rules" for new puppy owners. Hang gliding, playing the tuba, playing with a remote control, driving the family car, or walking a sleeping dog are all ruled out as unacceptable activities. Most are common sense, but the images of possible results reveal the ridiculous and a child's sense of play. A group of new owners err while allowing their puppies to juggle the dishes during clean-up, sending their puppy to buy groceries at the store, or leaving her at a café. Highlighted "Do" pages quickly outline attentive and proper care of a new puppy and how to become best friends. VERDICT This book offers lighthearted, humorous information for households with new pets or works as an introduction to class discussions on pet responsibility. Consider for general purchase.—Mary Elam, Learning Media Services, Plano ISD, TX
