      One day Rover asks Oakley where his spots are. Both dogs are dalmatians so Oakley knows he should have spots. He looks all over for them thinking he has lost them. His mother explains when the time is right, he will get his spots, but Oakley doesn’t want to wait. This is a great story about trying to grow up too fast.

      I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.Who wouldn't love learning patience from a Dalmatian?? My 4, 6 and 8 year olds liked it - and it gave me an opportunity to speak with them about patience. Very short, cute book with illustrations the kids love.

      Poor Oakley thought he lost his spots since his friend, Rover, had his already. Turns out, Oakley had some more time to wait till his spots appeared, they weren't lost. Patience is something we all need to learn. This is a cute children's book. I wonder if anyone will think it odd that Oakley's mother is a human mom, not a dog mom. The illustrations are not complicated, but appear as something a young artist could draw. I would think that would have eye appeal for a youngster. Many thanks to LibraryThing and the author for a complimentary review copy.

      ***I received an ARC from LIbraryThing for an honest opinion.***Me and my five year old daughter enjoyed this book. After first I was concerned when it showed up as 27 pages. I was worried she wouldn't be able to sit still that long. It was an easy read with some pages filled with a picture so it didn't take any time to read. That is one thing I really did like about it. It was a cute story that I even enjoyed. It discussed patience and how when the time is write for something it will come; don't rush it. The book gave a little life lesson that I enjoyed talking to my daughter about. I plan on purchasing other books from this author.***I received an ARC from LIbraryThing for an honest opinion.***

      I received this ebook in exchange for a fair and honest review.As Oakley is playing with his friend, Rover, Rover points out that Oakley does not have any spots. Oakley is concerned because every Dalmatian is supposed to have spots, so he begins to search for his spots. When he cannot find them, he asks his human mom about his spots. She assures him that his spots will eventually appear. Oakley desperately wants his spots, so he finds ways to invent spots for himself; all of these spots are not the right spots for Oakley. Thankfully, Oakley wakes one morning to find that his spots have finally appeared. Oakley is very happy about his spots.There were several punctuation errors that, as an English teacher, really stood out as I was reading. I wondered what Oakley might find in the places where he searched for his spots. Did he find things that resembled spots as he searched? I was hoping for a cute picture of Oakley and his Dalmatian mom; however, it was a human mom in the story. Overall, this story provides a good message for young children, and I enjoyed reading it.
