Reviews

[Lynn Davidson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a rhyming early reader for children.
The farmer's wife's shiny jewellery has gone missing so Pup and Hound set out to catch Cat in the act of burglary. Cat is intent on something so they follow her, leading to a suprise.
Great illustrations.

This is another series Rebekah has just recently begun to enjoy. And older farm hound, and a young puppy, and all of the mischief they get into. I think Rebekah relates to the puppy who is always racing after excitment, and getting into trouble for it. I actually think she appreciates knowing she is not the only impulsive person in the world!

This is a "Level 1" book for kids who are just starting to read but I thought it was a little long for someone just learning. It has rhyming text.
