PreS-Gr 1—Harry is a little pup on his first foray into the park with his owner Emma. When his new collar slips off and he's chased by bigger dogs, he ends up alone and quite lost in the woods. Luckily he's discovered by a friendly tabby cat named Ginger who knows her way around and how to get back to town and find tasty snacks along the way. The two get in and out of a few scrapes until Harry follows his nose home. Ginger is welcomed into the family and everyone settles down for the evening with a full belly.
VERDICT A sugary sweet selection.
Reviewed by Melisa Bailey, Harford County Library System, MD
Harry, a fluffy brown-and-white puppy, makes a friend and discovers his doggy strengths--his bark and sense of smell--after he slips out of his leash and gets lost at the park. Soft-focus pastel backdrops and fuzzy, huggable animals who wear their emotions on their faces accompany bland text and a predictable plot line. Harry's human owners occasionally appear stiff.
