Canetti Perfetti: Meet The Family: Book 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781734097764)

The true adventures of five dogs in the Italian countryside. The "Canetti Perfetti" family are Olivia and her brother Romeo, plus three of Olivia's pups: Diana, Pisolo, and Teseo.

Book #1 is three books in one: "Meet The Family," "Meet Our Friends," and "How to Steal Pancakes." Our dogs' friends include other neighborhood dogs, Grandma's cat, and some donkeys who like to visit our house. "How to Steal Pancakes" is a step-by-step photographic adventure about that time Diana sat nicely at the table, but couldn't resist what Daddy was eating.

Our blended dog family includes five very different personalities:

Free-spirited Olivia has a large group of friends she likes to visit. Sometimes they come to see her too.Foreman Romeo wants to be involved in everybody's projects, and is bad at keeping secrets.Patient Teseo is happy to wait his turn, and is a daydreamer imagining adventures only he can see.Wacky Pisolo is a clown and wants a lot of attention. He copies and follows others, but sometimes comes up with something clever on his own.Genius Diana is a planner and a leader even though she's the smallest of our dogs. She always has an idea and solution.

This full-color picture book is aimed at children mostly age 8 and younger. It's a fun read for English speakers and English learners reading at a lower primary or elementary school level. Most pages have fewer than 20 words. With some of the dogs telling their own stories, it's an opportunity for parents, caretakers, and children to invent voices for the animals.
