This week we'll be talking about some great new kids books that teach important lessons!
Today we have Muddy Paws and the Birthday Party


Muddypaws and the Birthday Party  cover


Synopsis:
It’s the first day of school, and Ben is all set to go. So is his lovable dog, Muddypaws! This beautifully illustrated and heartwarming tale of a boy and his sidekick is a great story for children in their own early school days.


Review: 

it's back to school time, so you know it's also birthday party time, so I thought this book would be a great fit this week! The book is aimed at ages 3-8 and continues the series of Muddypaws books (there are 5 of them). Parents with a young boy and puppy will quickly relate to the first few pages of what Muddypaws and Ben get up to during their days! The book lets kids see the world from the puppy's view- how things are new and fun, and how he is hurt and can't understand that he can't be inside with Ben during the birthday party. The book is adorable and your young reader will love it as much as Miss Grace did!

The book would be great as a Christmas gift (along with that new puppy? LOL).  Be sure to check out Parragon Book’s website for more wonderful children's books!
