There’s a wordless page where the boy meets a girl and her puppy, and the last page shows them grown up, walking hand-in-hand, while a dog frolics in the ocean: “new blue”. Prepare for heartbreak on the pages “true blue”, “old blue”, and “so blue” as the boy deals with the aging and death of his beloved dog. At least a scrap of the blue blanket appears in every illustration, and a die-cut shape gives a peek to the next picture. The two grow up together, first a preschooler pulling his dog in a wagon entitled “berry blue”, later an older boy walking his dog in the woods: “chilly blue”. ![]() Summary: The first spread in this companion book to Green shows a boy and puppy lying together with a blue blanket and the words “baby blue”. ![]()
