59. Rosemary Long Ears

59. Rosemary Long Ears. Susie Ghahremani. 2025. 40 pages. [Source: Library] [picture book, dogs, 4 stars]

First sentence: "Let's go find some fun!" Rosemary springs past her best friend with long ears flapping up and down...up and down...like wings flying! Nose to the ground, she sniffs this way, she searches that way, her long ears following along.

Premise/plot: Rosemary the dog with LONG ears has a messy, messy day and needs a bath by the end of it.

My thoughts: Rosemary Long Ears is exactly what you'd expect it to be. A LOVELY picture book starring a long-eared dog that is super-adorable and delightful. Rosemary and her human are out for a walk, and on the walk she gets SUPER dirty. Many adventures are had. Some of the narrative style reminds me of the early Pete the Cat books. 

I enjoyed this one. I think it's a good fit for young readers that enjoy dog stories.
