ISBN 978-0930773953
Ages 3-8
Uh oh. The gate is open and Tulip, a small dachshund puppy, spots a butterfly outside and runs after it. Stella, Tulip’s mom, sees her pup run out of the yard and goes after her. In a moment they are lost. So begins their adventure. They meet Cooper, a wise pug who puts them on the path to find Shona, the rescue lady. Sammy, an Irish wolfhound who is homeless, joins the group. Later they meet Kate, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who was once held in a puppy mill where she was caged and not allowed to set foot on the ground.
A compassionate story that touches on abandoned pets, puppy farms, the value of microchipping, and shows animals’ love for one another, Stella and Tulip is as heartwarming as it is entertaining.
Reviews
“Stella and Tulip: A Home for Us is a heartwarming story about a mother and daughter pair of dachshunds who become lost, meet new friends, and finally meet a dog rescue lady who helps find them a good new home. Along the way, Tulip meets a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who does not know how to play because she was kept in a cage in a puppy mill. A nice lady named Shona runs the Dog Rescue home where Stella and Tulip are taken by their friend, Cooper, a helpful bulldog. Stella and Tulip also meet Sammy, an Irish wolfhound who is abandoned by his family because they had to move to an apartment that would not accept dogs. All ends well when Stella and Tulip are adopted by a new family, but there is significant educating about the issues of pet abandonment and homelessness for dogs in Stella and Tulip: A Home for Us. Charming, colorful illustrations make Stella and Tulip a great choice for young readers ages 3-8.”
