　　艾絲翠德一天一天長大，艾里也越來越老了。在艾里老得走不動之前，艾斯翠德想要創造一些與艾里在一起的快樂回憶。



　　於是她為艾里安排了一系列活動，包括帶艾里去餐廳吃飯，但對艾里來說，最重要的活動不是別的，而是和他最愛的艾斯翠德一起度過的時光……。(文/博客來編譯)

Eli the dog has been with Astrid since her parents brought her home from the hospital as a baby. Now Astrid is getting older, and so is Eli. Before he slows down too much, Astrid wants to make fun memories with him. So she makes a bucket list for Eli, which includes experiences such as eating with him in a restaurant, and taking him down a slide at the playground.

But in the end, what is most important to Eli is the time he spends with Astrid, whom he loves dearly. Sisters Kate and M. Sarah Klise have created a story that reminds readers of all ages that time with our loved ones is the most precious gift of all.

Kate Klise is the author of several picture books and novels, including Grounded and Homesick. She frequently collaborates with her sister, the illustrator M. Sarah Klise. Kate travels all over the country speaking to classrooms about her work. She lives in Norwood, Missouri.
