The post कुत्ते की जानकारी और मनोरंजक खबर appeared first on Monica Gupta.
When eight year-old Storee Wryter wants to convince her parents that it’s a good idea to adopt a puppy she has her work cut out for her. She already has an opinionated cat named Critique and a full schedule of after schools activities. Will she have time to properly care for a boisterous puppy?
To complicate matters, Storee’s friend and neighbor Kyria who brought the puppy over, not only wants Storee to adopt the puppy, but asks they train her as a therapy dog as well.
Uh-oh added work and added expense. The Wryter family needs to know a lot more about what they could be getting into before making a decision. So, they invite Kyria’s father over for a meeting.
Like many meeting involving family decisions this one take place around the kitchen table. Understandably, Storee is nervous and her parents are skeptical when Mr. Henry arrives. He hopes to convince the family that taking on a new pet and one with a job at that, can be done without too much disruption.
Mrs. Wryter wants her guest to feel welcome without conveying too much weight to the visit. A bowl of chips and some coffee do the trick. It’s the type of finger food one offers a neighbor who happens to drop by. It’s easy to prepare, easy to eat, and easy to scoop away to signal the end of a visit.
Once the decision is made and Storee begins to train Addie, she uses puppy snacks to show approval when a lesson goes well. Dogs and people understand that treats are a sign everyone is happy and when Critique watches and begins to follow commands too the pets begin to bond in unexpected ways.
In the end, when Addie is trained and Storee takes her into a school for the first time to work with children having trouble learning to read, Storee and her family celebrate what Addie has learned and how well Storee has met her new responsibilities. When Kyria drops by she is invited to stay and enjoy a piece of warm apple pie and a merging of family and friends dedicated to helping others.
In this simple story for young readers the food could seem like a very minor element. But, it turns out to be just as important in creating bonds within this family as it does in ours.Thanks for stopping by to share your food for thought, Bobbi!

"Dog Food" by Saxton Freymann
Arthur Levine Books
Pub. 2003Have you seen these food-character picture books before? Eight to ten years ago, they seemed to flood the market. But hey, I'm talking about this book 7 years after it's publication. So, yes, the art sparked white hot for a period of time— but the unique artistic vision and the ideas behind it most certainly have staying power. (I hope they make more of these books).
"Dog Food" is full of fun food photography accompanied by witty sayings. Every time I pick it up, I'm inspired by the amazingly emotive food art. The characters are just so unique and full of life. It's just a delight to see the gestural quality of a sleeping dog in a banana ("...let sleeping dogs lie"), or the natural feel of the weight-shifted stance of a potato-bodied dog ("doggy bag").
The photography is really sharp, too: the colors are saturated, and thankfully the lens doesn't leave out a single detail of the personality-enhancing skin textures, tones or growths on the produce.
A lot of humor and wit went into the creation of this book. Every time I pick it up, I enjoy it more and more.
I think Dog Food is currently out of print, but you can
get a copy for a song from an Amazon reseller.
