Reach for this book when your family is preparing for a new baby or if your resident pet is feeling a bit overlooked by the new arrival. It is a perfect choice for parents who want to validate a toddler's feelings of displacement through the safe, humorous lens of a dog's perspective. The story follows Willie, a sweet pup who describes his changing world with a mix of confusion and eventual devotion as he learns that the new 'bald puppy' is actually a permanent member of the pack. While the book is incredibly funny, it carries a deep emotional resonance about belonging and the expansion of love. Natalie Nelson's collage-style illustrations capture the chaotic energy of a new baby while maintaining a gentle, reassuring tone. It is ideal for children aged 0 to 3 who are navigating the transition from being the 'only child' or for families who want to celebrate the special bond between children and their pets.
