We recommend this black-and-white illustrated early reader series to all parents of children 4+ because it's got a lovely little pug as its main character, lots of high-interest characters and a great message at its heart.
Peggy the pug puppy is the sweetest of all pups, and would go to the greatest of lengths for her loving family. In each book, she wishes she could just be something other than herself, from a unicorn to a mermaid! But by the end of each book, she's reminded that her family loves her very much, just as she is.
Bella Swift is also the author of The Llama Bridesmaid and The Flamingo Ballerina.
