Each year, that she could remember, Carly had only one request at birthday time. She loved receiving cards and having birthday parties, but all she ever really wanted was a puppy. A puppy of her very own.
Sally McIlwain has worked as an elementary school teacher's assistant and piano instructor. Carly's 10! is her first work of children's literature. She enjoys baking, playing the piano and playing wither her dog Parnelli. She has one adult daughter and lives in Pennsylvania with her husband of many years.
One of my friends suggested this book for my 6-year-old boy. The illustrations in the book are so perfect and easily relatable. My boy was so excited after reading this book. I am looking forward to buying some more books from the author. Thanks to the author for writing such an excellent book. A must buy!
McIlwain keeps the suspense and anticipation at high levels for young readers, and the plot progresses swiftly and fluidly. The story is enhanced by colorful and emotive pictures by Blueberry Illustrations.
**I am a Goodreads Giveaway winner** This book was super cute! The bright colors were great for children and the illustrations were beautiful! The book was about Carly, who turns ten, waiting all day for a birthday puppy! the only thing about this book I would have liked was more illustrations. Cute read for children!
I read this to my daughter who is also turning 10 soon and she loved it! It was a cute story about a girl who desperately wants a dog for her birthday. She spends all day thinking and searching for her new puppy while celebrating her big day.
I was pleased to receive this book through a Goodreads Giveaway. Carly's active imagination dreams up all the ways her parents will surely surprise her with a puppy for her 10th birthday. We'll be adding Carly's 10! to our Little Free Library for others to enjoy.
