Review

When two dogs, Honey and Leon, decide to protest their two Dad's frequent traveling, they decide to protest. After being left alone one time too many, the dogs decide to follow their Dads on a trip to France. They disguise themselves well, (they think), and convince themselves that their Dads DO need their protection, after all! They soon end up in a bit of mischief and find themselves in the newspapers and the talk of the town. The Dads, of course realize that the dogs have followed them. But when they all (dogs and Dads) arrive home safely, Leon and Honey think that they are the ones who have outsmarted their Dads!

A fun adventrue story, entertaining and endearing - especially for those who love dogs and their clever ways!

The soft watercolor illustrations are "sketch like" in nature with well defined expressions on both aniamals and people.

The first two page spread has a 'Where's Waldo" feel with the author asking the reader to try to find Honey and Leon hiding amongst hundreds of dogs that might play in East Village of New York City.

Overall Book Score: good
