Review

Buster, a sweet little puppy, is taught the ways of the dog world by Phoebe, a wise older dog.

A level three aimed at young readers who are reading independently, this humorous story will resonate with dog lovers. Told in two short chapters, this book is a strong stepping stone to longer chapter books.

The illustrations done in ink and watercolor are plentiful and will help young readers fully comprehend the text.

The mystery of the disappearing bones along with the training of the bones will keep kids laughing while learning about the benefit of having friends.

Overall Book Score: good
