Review:

A family adopts a dog and calls him Hen. They try to make him comfortable with a soft bed and toys to play with. But Hen tears up the toys, bed, and couch cushions.  The young boy buys him a new toy and the store owner guarantees it is indestructible. It wasn’t. The young boy’s Gran makes Hen a toy out of all the leftover parts he chewed up. What do you think will happen next? 

This cute story is perfect for toddlers and beginner readers. Simplistic illustrations with black, white, red, and blue make them pleasing to look at and fun to read. Parents and teachers can use this guide to teach young readers about pets.
