Ode to a Pug: NOT the VET

-


If you have a pet you know what a challenge it is to get them to the vet sometimes if they are anything like my cats. Pug from the beloved Ode to a Pug series does NOT want to go to the vet.

Thank you Jill Rosen for partnering with myself and The Children's Book Review for this post. The review is my honest thoughts.


ABOUT THE BOOK  

Do you ever get the feeling that something terrible is about to happen? Where the panic takes over, your eyes widen and you just need to zoom?  Well, today is that day for our beloved pug Phoebe as she faces her biggest fear yet – THE VET!

Laugh along to another silly, heartfelt and sweetly illustrated story from the author of the award-winning “Ode to a Pug”.


Pugs aren’t really scared of much (except vacuums, tinfoil, bells, any loud noise…), but there is one place that causes our comical canine to cower – the DREADED VET’S OFFICE! 

Join on an epic journey of courage for a little pug with a big heart and a belly full of gas. An amusing rhyming story ideal for children ages 2-8 and dog lovers of all ages. 


REVIEW

I love this series! Pug is such a cute character and can’t get into all kinds of trouble but in the end he helps the reader learn a valuable lesson. Pug is afraid to go to the vet but once he’s there and the visit is over, he decides it wasn’t too bad. This can easily be related to a child’s doctor visit and would be great to read if they have fears about an upcoming visit.

Humor is throughout the book from Pug accidentally farting in the lobby to hiding in a clothes basket. The illustrations fit the book perfectly. I can’t recommend this book enough to young readers!

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part!

The ease of poetry and vibrant il...
