Penny and the Lost Puppy
Book Review
I like this book because it makes me happy
I have been reading this book every day! I like this book because it makes me happy.
At the start of the book the pages are not very colourful blues and I think it was night time, but I love the bright pages at the end which were colourful. I did spot the difference with my Mummy. I like when its nice bright pages. The shops look really good especially the flower shop.
I liked the pages where Penny was playing with Smudge. It is very funny when the dog is doing a handstand. I
was happy when Penny liked her new house. I want to have a tea party with my friends Alice and Ava now!
About the Book
This beautiful picture book by of our favourite author/illustrators, Emily Sutton, is about a little girl who moves home and is lonely until she makes friends with a puppy. It is a heart-warming story with beautiful and detailed illustrations on every page.
Moving home can feel a bit lonely, so Penny can’t believe her luck when she finds a new friend right in her garden: a puppy who wants to play all day long! But the next morning, Penny’s playmate is nowhere to be seen … wherever can she have gone? To find out, Penny and Dad will have to get to know their new town a little better…

Emily Sutton

Her work spans children’s books, fine art prints, packaging and textiles — she has illustrated picture books for other authors as well as her own book, and her illustrations have been described as nostalgic, warm, and brimming with personality.
