Ever wonder what adventures a dog has in a day? Meet Klaus, a miniature schnauzer dog. From the challenge of trying to catch the neighborhood squirrel to doing tricks for a treat. He grabs his leash and he is off to explore the neighborhood. Out on their walk, the two set off to the park for a game of catch, playing with other dog friends, and then for a game of hide and seek. At the end of a busy day, Klaus is ready for sleep. And like most dogs, he falls fast asleep to do it all again the next day.The Adventures of Klaus, the Happy Schnauzer is a wonderful picture book that goes through the typical day of a beloved dog. Children are taken through dog-oriented activities paralleling a similar day for a preschooler with waking up, eating breakfast, playing, meeting friends and going to sleep. This would make a great read-aloud to settle down with any youngster before bed. “Let’s hear about Klaus’s Day?” This could be an easy question to motivate a child to sit and get ready for bed every night. With this book, you can review the toddlers’ day, relax and, like Klaus, prepare for sleep. This will be a favorite bedtime read aloud many times over.
