I‘m not quite sure how to feel about this book. In it a man adopts a puppy and teaches it to carry eggs in his mouth as well as fetch sticks. He‘s trying to be hunting dog. On the first hunting trip when the hunter shoots a duck, and the dog retrieves it the dog takes it to an island, and brings back a stick. Every time the hunter and the dog go out the dog does this. He has an island of her ducks.

LibrarianRyan The Hunter finds out and feels shame, so they nurse the ducks back together until he can release them healthy. Before I go farther, I should say the artist is amazing. It‘s unusual. It‘s unique and its quality perfectly sums up the discombobulated feeling left by the words of the book. It‘s nice that the hunter nurses these birds back to health, but it‘s horrible that he shot them to begin with. I have a problem with guns in picture books for kids 5mo
LibrarianRyan Hunting is a legitimate activity, and I understand that. But when animals are so often used to fableize humans, I would hate to think any little kids might get the idea to shoot someone and an adult can make it better. The US has a problem with guns. That is 100% the reason for my discombobulated feelings and I don‘t care if hunting is legitimate sports, I do not think guns of any type should be in a picture book.
