Meet the Author:

Kathryn A. Zolman never expected to write a children’s book, but when Pineapple came into her life and she heard the story of how this sweet, smart dog got her name, she thought it would make a fun book for parents to read to their children. Pineapple is a Bull Mastiff, German Shepherd, Chow mix, and much like a real pineapple, she knows how to stand tall and is very sweet on the inside!

Kathryn is an avid dog lover. Along with her husband and daughter, they have raised three Doberman Pinschers, each with their own unique personality and character. Kathryn is an advocate for not only raising children to respect all animals, but also to be thankful for the pure joy that they bring to our lives. In writing this book, Kathryn seeks to spread a positive message and hopes it will help children express more gratitude in their lives.

My Thoughts:

Are You a Pineapple? is a cute, happy, and entertaining story for children about a boy and his new best friend and the search they go on for just the right name.

Kevin has just gotten a new puppy and now he must name his puppy, and he wants just the right name. Filled with bright illustrations, Kevin and his puppy go throughout his home and neighborhood searching for just the right name. And his puppy is right beside him judging all of them. Poor Kevin did not realize how hard this naming thing was as each perfectly good name he offers to his puppy does not get the response he is expecting. Until one very special name pops up that has his puppy going wild with excitement.

I liked this story; the feeling of happiness and excitement is permeated throughout. It is an exciting time anyway to get a new pet, add naming the pet, and finding the right name makes it all the more special.

I was provided a copy of this storybook from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
