My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I picked this book up out of sheer curiosity. I love children’s books, I read them all the time. My boys are older, but still it was great fun reading this book together. My older one really enjoyed it too.

This is a story of a dog Jake who has to go to a daycare for the first time, and he is very apprehensive about it. He is used to the comforts of his home and his little friends, whom he has befriended at home. One of his friends, the squirrel Neet, comforts him saying he will accompany him to the daycare. Jake is relieved and both Neet and Jake head off to the day care.

Jake finds new friends there and has lot of fun at the daycare. He is well fed and taken care of. He has a great experience. It is a very sweet story everyone can relate to. The apprehension and fear of Jake when he sets off to a new place and the comfort he finds when his friend Neet agrees to go with him are so simply yet beautifully explained. And this is not for Jake alone, isn’t it the problem each one of us face when we go to a new place? And think about the relief which sweeps over us when someone familiar accompanies us??
A beautiful book !!
