Lou by Breanna Carzoo
I almost was not going to write up Lou by Breanna Carzoo. Then I said, I would write it up with Two Dogs by Ian Falconer. I did not, because I figured even though they have both have dogs doing what dogs do to plants and in the case of Lou, fire hydrants, it was a stretch to connect them. And yes, my dear reader, you read it right. Fire hydrant. Or as Lou calls themselves, a toilet. We even have Carzoo showing us the […]
Two Dogs by Ian Falconer
The publisher description says Two Dogs by Ian Falconer is for fans of Bark, George and A Ball for Daisy! And while I am not sure exactly if that is true, it is for someone who loves dogs and dachshunds in particular. Since our two main (only real on screen characters) are two dachshunds named Perry (the adventurous one who barks before he looks) and Augie (the more likely to sniff than be unsure). Stuck inside (as the humans have had to go off to […]
Mine for Keeps by Jean Little
This book is a delight. Jean Little was a Canadian author who wrote over 50 children’s books, and her books often center on disabled characters. Little herself was legally blind from birth, and I think that the delicacy and realism of her novels really come through as a result of her own experiences. Mine for Keeps was her first children’s novel, which I just found out when doing research for this review, but it doesn’t seem like it’s uncertain or unpolished at all. It’s very confident […]
Fred & Marjorie: A Doctor, a Dog, and the Discovery of Insulin by Deborah Kerbel
Fred & Marjorie: A Doctor, a Dog, and the Discovery of Insulin by Deborah Kerbel and illustrated by Angela Poon is a graphic novel that is based on the true events that lead to the discovery that would easily save over 100 million people: insulin. There is simple text showing the events of the early 1920s that made it possible to treat type 1 diabetes, or Juvenile diabetes. There are the images that show that before the early 1920s the treatment was starvation and therefore, […]
D-39: A Robodog’s Journey by Irene Latham
I am not really a dog person, but something about the idea of D-39: A Robodog’s Journey was grabbing. Maybe the androgenous look of the character on the cover or the fact it was a robot dog and as far as I could remember I had never read a book with a robot dog. Maybe because it was free. But what kept me reading this novel by Irene Latham was two main things: first it was done in a poetic prose manner. But it was […]
Pig the Monster (Pig the Pug) by Aaron Blabey
Gilbert the Ghost by Guido Van Genechten
The Bad Seed Presents: The Good, the Bad, and the Spooky (With Two Sticker Sheets) by Jory John
If You Ever Meet a Skelton by Rebecca Evans
Poultrygeist by Eric Geron
One not so little pug named Pig, is a greedy pup. It is Halloween and all he wants to do is to not only get the treats but to get the right treats. And then Pig wants to eat the treats! And if you are stingy with treats, you will smell more than his feet in Pig the Monster (Pig the Pug) by Aaron Blabey. Of course, Pig earns that a dog should not eat a lot of chocolate (after all it can make you, […]
