excerpt:
Who would not love the adorable chocolate lab puppy with blue eyes that is found on the cover of Bailey�s Visit? Most little girls would, and they will enjoy a sweet, safe little story of how two young girls find a way to love puppies even though they are not allowed to have puppies of their own. Kat and Maya are best friends, and they share a deep love of puppies. They love swimming lessons, soccer and, above all, puppies! When Kat�s aunt opens up a dog grooming business, the girls are in heaven at the opportunity to groom and nurture the puppy clients. They particularly fall in love with Bailey who is a chocolate brown lab. They learn how to groom and care for this lovable little dog, and they also learn that Kat�s aunt definitely knows what is best when it comes to obeying sensible rules and being responsible for a little life. It is quite a bit of work to be responsible for a dog, and when the girls prove that they can nurture a puppy very well, readers will suspect that the girls� families will allow them to be loving dog owners!
