Little Dog is the second book by Groningen-born author Ben Snijder.
For more than 40 years, Ben worked in several regional pet stores, and through his experiences the idea was born to write heartwarming read-aloud children’s books.

Sometimes a new life begins with a tiny, gentle paw…

Part 1 in this series tells the story about how Little Dog grows up in a warm nest beside his mother, brothers and sisters, where everything feels safe and familiar. But one day a boy named Bram appears, and soon Hondje Hond begins a brand-new adventure in a new home.

New smells, new sounds and unfamiliar surroundings make the world feel exciting, but also a little scary. With patience, cuddles and playful moments, trust slowly begins to grow.

A touching and comforting story about saying goodbye, facing change and finding a new place to belong. Written in simple, lively language with charming repetition and playful sounds, this beautifully illustrated book is perfect for young children and for reading together.
