This book is a kiddy book ,but I like it. This story is about a girl named Moshi and her friend Jessica. Jessica has a pet dog named Tippy. Tippy can do tricks and impressed Moshi with them. So Moshi asks her father if she could have a puppy from one of the sled dogs that is pregnant. Her father says no. So Moshi and Jessica went out to play,but then it started snowing and they couldn't see anything. Then they saw Moshi's father's dog. They followed her and she led them into the place she stayed. Then the dog layed down and they saw her puppies. Moshi really wanted a dog to play with like Tippy. Then it got late and the two girls were cold. Jessica started crying.Then Moshi's father found them and he said that Moshi could have one of the puppies as long as she took care of it.
