Puppy puzzle Book

The Animal Ark books were my faaaaaaaavourites when I was young (maybe grades 2 - 5?) and after unearthing a stack of them while moving, I'm doing a reread almost 20 years later. I remember the Animal Ark Pets series feeling a little juvenile when I was 9-10 (in terms of tone, language, and storytelling), but they're a great starter chapter book for young kids who love animals.

Friendship, positive messages, a little bit of education on how to choose & rear a puppy, lots of illustrations of adorable pets, a brief but exciting climax and - most importantly for tiny me - characters who were as crazy about animals as I was.
