REVIEW: "A tale of friendship, determination and lots of patience! What a wonderful way to recount to children the funny side of toilet training - even for puppies." Adrienne T. O'Connell, teacher, B.A., Grad. Dip. Ed., taught children from indigenous outback to multicultural big city classrooms
REVIEW: J.R. Poulter’s tale of toilet-training in both humans and pets is a sheer delight …with bright and colorful illustrations. An entertaining read, educational in a feel-good way…I enjoyed reading Cuddle Kitten and Puddle Pup, and recommend it [for] young children up to 7 years of age.
