"Coco's New Home" by D.M. Russo is a great children's book. The main character is a puppy named Coco, who is being brought to her new home. Coco talks about all the new things that happen to her in her new home and asks the readers about their own lives. The book is filled with cute illustrations, and the editing is so good that I found no typos.

I liked how Coco was not only talking about her new home but also asking the readers questions. As a teacher and a mother, I know how many questions young children ask and how much they love to talk about themselves and their lives to anyone who will listen. This book would be a great tool to use in an elementary classroom for new readers to gain confidence. It could also help young children learn how to write and answer questions. Additionally, it could help young children learn how to write and answer questions as well. Parents could also use it as a lesson for how to take care of pets. For example, if a family was getting a new puppy, the book could help the kids learn how to care for it.

My six-year-old and I read this story together, and she loved this book. She not only read it herself but also got a chance to answer the questions about her own life: where she lives, what her house looks like, and what type of car seat she has in the car. The only negative I can come up with is that the ending seemed pretty abrupt, but it did not seem to affect my daughter's liking for the book at all.

Overall, I would give this book a 5 out of 5 stars. It is a cute children’s book that allows them to think about their lives and how to answer questions.

Your review was lovely! Offering ideas on how to use this book to help young children at home and in the classroom was so helpful! The story sounds very enjoyable, and I will be sharing it with the young people in my life. Thank you!
