This is a children’s book, so not my standard choice of reading. But with a new baby boy, I just had to get it to read it to him. He’s a bit too small to understand it, but it was still a blast getting to share it with him!

The story itself was very cute and inventive, following the adventures of a sweet Golden Retriever as he fought off a terrifying enemy and saved his human sister from danger.

I loved the storyline and characters, and I also really appreciated the illustrations, which were perfect for the plot.

A few things I didn’t like: I read it twice and still didn’t really understand where the skunk came from at the end. I also thought the rhyming structure was a bit forced at times. Of course, it’s a kid’s book, so these issues aren’t things most readers are going to be focused on! For the purposes of the reader base and the intent of the book to be a heartwarming, sweet story, it absolutely succeeded.

Overall, I gave the book 4/5 stars.
