Zig Zag Zeffy

"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!"

"This wonderful early childhood book keeps the young reader's attention as the love develops between a puppy and his Hu-Mom. The descriptive and fun story flows well, and is accompanied by colourful illustrations, providing many opportunities for teachable moments. The catchy rhyming words lead to interactive conversations, and you will feel like you KNOW Zeffy when you reach the end...And then you will want to start again!"

Marg MacDonald, Recipient of the Prime Minister's Award for Excellence in Early Childhood Education (2021)

"Zig Zag Zeffy is a delightful book about an energetic, adorable puppy. The story captures your heart as you learn about his adoption into a loving home. The colorful illustrations help you to see and feel the emotions as the story unfolds. From leaving his siblings to adjusting to his new owner and learning as he goes. He makes mistakes but feels the love as he grows. Zig Zag Zeffy will make you smile.

This book has an easy read format with only a couple of sentences per page. It has a rhyming pattern that will help the children figure out the words. Its energy level will make it a great read aloud. Zig Zag Zeffy will be a great addition to any early elementary classroom library or home library."

"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."
