Annotation: "Where in the world is the Pokey Little Puppy?" This little puppy, who is always a little late, finally finds his way home one night to find he's missed out on something sweet.

Evaluation: This is vintage Golden Books at their best, here in the Poky Little Puppy. Mommies and daddies who have a draw to the vintage will appreciate this one, and the children will be enchanted by the relatable pokiness of this sweet pup. My only critique would be (if your a dog owner and you read this to your children) make sure and tell your children not to feed real dogs chocolate custard (or of any kind). Doggies can't eat chocolate! But it sure is adorable in this little Golden Book! And we'll eat up this little story over and over again! Maybe it's time to rediscover Golden Books!
