Obviously Miss Grace is a bit beyond children's books, but we were asked to check out this book, as it was a free download that week on Amazon, and pet adoption/rescue is dear to our hearts, we agreed!
Synopsis:
A chilly, rainy day brings an unexpected surprise. An adventurous little Mona heads out to splash in puddles when she meets a lost little Dottie. Misfortune for one turns into a long-lasting friendship. Little Mona Meets A Pup is a story of compassion and love.
Review:
While noted for ages 5-8, I would put this as 3-6, with 7 year olds capable of reading it to younger siblings, or wanting to try to play the song at piano lessons. But really, it is aimed at younger children with its rhyming sing-along (song and music included in book). At only 16 pages, it is very short, and perfect for keeping a younger child's attention. I definitely would recommend the physical book over the ebook, as the colors would be brighter and small children really DO love to hold a book. It's a cute story, although there is plenty room left for discussion about what happens when you find a lost dog, etc. It's a cute book, and I'm sure the next will pickup with Mona and Dottie on a new adventure. Be sure to download some of the extra actives from the author's website for a fully immersive experience, and Summer fun!
