PreS—A puppy and his favorite toy are always together until Snaily goes missing. Ollie is afraid of going to bed because of the darkness, but in the process of searching for his toy, he conquers his fear. In the end, all is well. The soft, colorful illustrations will elicit an emotional response from children. At one point, there's a tear on Ollie's face when he is so desperately longing for Snaily. The book has many lift-the-flap elements; some are quite small and flimsy and may not stand up to repeated readings. It is best be suited to one-on-one sharing.—Lora Van Marel, Orland Park Public Library, IL
