it arrives -- but the execution leaves something wanting. The children are just absolutely horrid and barely seem to learn their lesson about treating the puppy well. They spend more time arguing about the puppy's sex (which is pretty irrelevant) than anything else. The concept of a random stranger helping them is really bizarre, and it would have made more sense for their parent(s) to do so. The illustrations are okay if you like cartoonish style ones.
