This book is about a puppy who is always last to do everything. He is the last puppy to be given away, but he realizes it is okay because he is the boy's first puppy.

This book could be used to teach kids that being last isn't always bad.

This is a story about a puppy who is always last. When him and all of his brothers/sisters are being given away to new homes he is once again the last puppy to be chosen. He was sad until his new owner exclaims, "You are my first puppy." This is a great story to read to a student who feels like they are always picked last. You could even read it to the whole class to show that picking people last hurts feelings. I would recommend this to kindergarten or first graders. ( )
