Here’s another picture book that came across my desk this week. It’s called “Always” and it’s written by Alison McGhee and illustrated by Pascal Lemaitre. It’s the story of a little dog that is “the keeper of the castle.” The pup talks about the things he does to keep the castle safe, like taming squirrels, ambushing enemies and “protecting the blanket.” It’s a sweet book, and would be enjoyed by anyone that has a dog, because that’s exactly what our dogs do. They protect our castles.
