PRINCE PATCHES

PRINCE PATCHES is an educational children's book about a little designer Maltese-Shih tzu that is full of energy and responsibility. This book entails valuable information and/or insight for children who would like to own a pet. Prince Patches is a real pet and is unique because he has a distinct dark patch around his right eye. And this is why his name is Patches, which is noted throughout the book. But he is also a Prince because he is a great loving dog. Children are constantly asking parents for a pet, not realizing it comes with a price. The price is responsibility. More importantly and unfortunately, children don't know what all comes with owning a pet. For example, it can be expensive taking care of an animal. You must feed it, nurse it when its sick, take time out to play with it, and other things. A dog or any pet becomes a part of your life for a long time and therefore, it becomes part of your family. It is very important to take care of a pet with love and compassion. Like children, parents must nurture and take care of them too.  Prince Patches has a glossary in the back of the book to help young readers to comprehend and build their vocabulary.
