I’m Pip and this is my book. Hold on, I hear someone else. Ah, my friend Timothy Vanderlong. Timothy is the longest dog in the world. Would you like to see Timothy?
A funny book about Pip and his friend Timothy Vanderlong. For children ages 3 years and up.
I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review.
This book is all about a little bird trying to show off his wiener dog friend, who just doesn't quite fit on the page because he's so long and Pip didn't need that much space himself. He suggests various contortions before eventually deciding they just need to stretch the page bigger for his pal. To me the message seems to be about including people, even in places where they don't seem to fit in.
The illustrations were fairly simple, not a lot of background details, mostly just the characters. They kind of gave me There's a Monster at the End of this Book vibes for some reason.
Overall I give this book 3.7 out of 5 stars. - Katie
