My review:
This is my first picture book review because it is the first picture book I have read in so long! I really enjoyed going back and doing the voices and laughing at the sweet humor. It was relaxing, a breath of fresh air and a very fun story that I wanted to share with all of you!
I loved that the dog narrated; watching the progression from Duchess, to Princess, Queen, Wife and Mother was made new through the eyes of Sebastien.
I borrowed my library’s edition to read and now must get my own copy so that one day I may read this story to my children!
Notes on the names: Cullen named her pug Sebastien, that was when I knew I must read this book.
Thoughts on the cover: It is tres dulce!
