Description The hero of this book, Paul, is a child with blue eyes who loves to wear his blue sweater. But more than anything, he's a child who loves puppies. Paul always wanted a 'blue puppy,' and while waiting for the day he could finally have one, he would play make-believe with an imaginary puppy all on his own. One day, Paul meets a beautiful puppy with black and white spots and brings it home to raise. Since he loved the color blue and had always wanted a blue puppy, after much thought, Paul decides to name his new puppy 'Blue'... About the Author Author: Polly Dunbar Polly Dunbar is an artist working in London, England. This book, I Want a Blue Puppy, is a storybook filled with lovely illustrations and beautiful writing, inspired by the story of Neil, a young boy who is a friend of the author. She watched as Neil decorated a blue shoebox as a home for his paper dog 'Dalmatian,' even poking holes in the lid so his paper puppy could breathe, and she wrote this story for him. Just like Paul in this book, Neil has blue eyes and loves to wear a blue sweater. And more than anything, he's a child who loves puppies.
