Zig Zag Zeffy is a heart-warming story of a hu-mom who adopts an energetic, fun-loving Puggle named Zeffy. It's a rhyming narrative that follows the pair as they develop an unbreakable bond. From Zeffy's adoption as a puppy, through a few growing pains, to obedience training and exploring the wide world outside, Zeffy and his hu-mom learn about each other, and about boundaries, and loving and living life. It's the first in a planned series that will teach themes such as inclusion and self-esteem with fun and rhythmic story-telling that ignites a child's passion for reading, while developing knowledge and enhancing social interaction with animals as well as people.
Industry Reviews
Everyone who knows a dog, owns a dog or hopes for a dog will adore Zig Zag Zeffy. It's a heart-warming tale of a human who adores a dog and a dog who adores his human, and they share lots of adventures together. This lovely tale is essentially about all of the goofy things that puppies do, as Zeffy rips up his toys, hides pieces of clothing and loves to take his owner for walks. With delightful illustrations and obvious emotional attachment, this is a picture book to enjoy again and again. Here's hoping there's a sequel!

Bold art work, rhyming patterns and a cute pup make this book ideal for sharing with younger children. Snuggled close by an adult at daily book sharing time it is a great way to learn what a possible family pet would need to be happy in their new home. It mirrors what young children need . . . time and love.
