Oh my god I forgot all about this book! This was my favorite book as a child! My mom had a yar sale and accidentally put it in the book box. I forgot about it until now! This is an awsome book to read to your children. A treasure to keep and not put in the book box as my mom had done! lol

A Reading Rainbow Book. The Puppy Who Wanted a boy is a story about wishing. But it has a twist. Instead of a child wishing for a puppy near holiday time, it is a story about a puppy wishing for a child.
