To Build or Not to…. Nah! Just to Build!

In Made by Maxine by Ruth Spiro

In reverse alphabetical order, this review covers two different books about building, about trying and not giving up. In Made by Maxine by Ruth Spiro, we see our heroine trying to figure out how to make things bigger and better. When she gets a pet fish (who she thinks is waving at her), she builds it the biggest, funniest, craziest fish tank as the bowl she had for him was just too dull. And how proud both are of it! That is until the class […]

I am a Wolf, not a dog, even though I look like a dog, I am a WOLF!

I Am a Wolf by Kelly Leigh Miller

I am a cat person. Well, actually more of a pet rock person, but that’s another story. It is not that I do not like dogs, I just know that they are a lot of work, need a lot of love and time. And I know I cannot give that to any pet. However, I know that, like in I Am a Wolf if I did decide to get a pet, there would be the perfect one for me. Kelly Leigh Miller has made a […]

Oh for pugs sake shake a tail and read this!

Father’s Day is around the corner. And while I do not remember getting books for my dad, books are always a great gift for Father’s Day. What better way to celebrate Dad with a book that child and Pop can read together? And with Good Dad Diego we get a straight forward story with a few funnies about a dad dog. Diego wants to be a Good Doggie Dad and he is. Even though it means telling his kids not to poop on the floor, […]

DOOOGS IN SPACE! (OK actually in 1925 & 1850 America)

Time Dogs: Balto and the Race Against Time by Helen Moss

Time Dogs: Seaman and the Great Northern Adventure by Helen Moss

If the Magic Tree House series by Mary Pope Osborne, the Ranger in Time series by Kate Messner and Paw Patrol got together and created a younger version of themselves with dogs and a time traveling van, you would get The Time Dogs series. The first two Time Dogs by Helen Moss are a sweet mix of fact and fiction. Clever stories bring to life the history of famous dogs and their people. The first book, Balto and the Race Against Time has our doggie […]

Your Robot Dog Will Die by Arin Greenwood

May 22, 2019 by cosbrarian Leave a Comment

Apparently this is the year I read all the dead dog books. So . . . sorry for that! TW: Animal cruelty, animal death. In a near future, scientists showcased exactly how terrible humans are by genetically trying to improve on animals. (As if there is anything to improve on in any animal.) Their experiments went extremely wrong, however, when dogs suddenly stop wagging their tales, and suddenly are no longer man’s best friend. As the effects of this tragedy sweep the nation and dogs […]

Once upon a time there was girl who enjoyed reading. And she enjoyed telling other people about these books as well. This girl likes stories about friendship. And while she is not a dog person, she found a must have for dog lovers in a book about two doggie friends named Olive and Pekoe. Olive & Pekoe: In Four Short Walks by Jacky Davis, is a story that is broken up into four different walks. Each of these walks highlights how different these friends are, […]

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
