An Interactive Approach to Early Reading
Coco’s New Home follows Coco as she explores unfamiliar surroundings, experiences new sights and sounds, and begins learning what it means to belong to a family.
Her wagging tail and eager personality guide young readers through the excitement of entering a loving home.
Each statement Coco makes is followed by a question directed to the reader. This structure gives children frequent opportunities to respond, make observations, and connect the puppy’s experiences with their own. Parents, caregivers, and educators can pause for discussion, allowing every reading session to develop according to a child’s age and imagination.
The question-led format may support listening, comprehension, vocabulary, and verbal expression. Babies and toddlers can engage through sounds, gestures, and pictures. Preschool and early elementary readers can answer in complete thoughts, predict what may happen, and describe how Coco might be feeling.
A Story About Family, Learning, and Change
"Coco’s New Home" introduces themes that are familiar to many young children, including new experiences, emotional adjustment, family connection, and the comfort of feeling at home. Coco’s discoveries provide a gentle starting point for conversations about adapting to change and approaching unfamiliar situations with curiosity.
Families preparing to welcome a puppy can also use the story to discuss patience, kindness, and responsible pet care. Coco’s experience shows how attention and reassurance can help a new animal become comfortable within a household.
“Coco’s questions were created to make children feel included in her adventure,” said D.M. Russo, author of Coco’s New Home. “I wanted young readers to know that their thoughts matter and that storytime can be a conversation shared with someone they love.”
The book can be read during family storytime, bedtime routines, classroom activities, or independent reading practice. Its interactive design gives adults a simple way to
encourage participation while strengthening the shared experience between reader and child.
