Review

There are three books so far in the Fiercely and Friends series. In this particular volume Fiercely the dog helps his girl and boy figure out what the mystery plant that is growing in their garden. It's a large plant and Fiercely's job is to protect the plant from things that might want to eat it. They all get ready for a vegetable parade and hope to win a medal. The illustrations are very bright, big and appealing. It would be nice to have a big salad in front of you when you are reading this because the pictures make you want to eat some vegetables. This is a great book to read in September during harvest time or in the summer for planting time.

Overall Book Score: very good
