Does waiting for good things drive you up the wall? It's hard to wait

your turn in a line at an amusement park when the ride is whirling by

you. It's hard not to go grabbing candy out of the candy bowl before the

teacher says its okay. When the waitress sets the dinner plate on the

table in front of you, it's hard not to reach for the tasty hot food before it cools. Those are the times when we say to ourselves or someone else Why Wait? I Want It Now! This picture book shows a puppy that feels

the same way when she's hungry. Waiting and obeying are hard for the dog when wonderful things are just at a little paw's reach.
