Puppy Place: Scout

The Puppy Place: Scout

          I guess you could say I'm reading books like CRAZY this week, and it’s true. These Books are GREAT!! If I had to pick a series to read for the rest of this year, I would pick The Puppy Place Series. This book is about a German Shepard named Scout. She ends up being a replacement for another Search-and-Rescue dog named Casey who is hurt while rescuing a little girl after an earthquake in Mexico.

Series: The Puppy Place

Book #: 7

Author: Ellen Miles

Age Level: 7+

Target Audience: I think anyone who loves puppies would like this book.

Stars: 5++

Violence: none

Pages: 75

Main Characters: Scout, Lizzie and Charles Peterson

          Scout: Scout is a cute little German shepherd. She loves adventure and is a great learner.

          Lizzie and Charles Peterson: I think you've heard enough about these guys so if you want to know more scroll down to see my other Puppy Place series Books. ;)

           My Thoughts: The Puppy place series is awesome an I REALLY enjoy it! I hope you have it at your local library.

On The Back:

Charles and Lizzie Peterson know a lot about puppies. That’s because the Petersons are a foster family for young dogs. They have an adorable puppy of their own, Buddy, but they still love helping other puppies find homes.

          Then Lizzie and Charles meet Scout, a gentle German Shepherd dog who is very good at helping people. A puppy like Scout needs a special owner. Can the Petersons fine the perfect person?

Enjoy,

Puppy Place: Chewy and Chica

The Puppy Place: Chewy and Chica

            I've been reading a lot this week, not just 'cuz I don’t have a lot of homework, but also because these Puppy Place and Kitty Corner (another series like puppy place) are REALLY good. This one is  about 2 chihuahuas that are rescued from a puppy mill.

Series: The Puppy Place

Book #: 19 (none of the books have their number on the cover)

Author: Ellen Miles

Age Level: 7+

Stars: 5

violence: 0.1 There is a demonstration in the book

pages: 132

Main Characters (M.C.): Chewy, Chica, Lizzie and Charles Peterson

Quotes from the book About the M.C.:

            Chewy: “And I already thought of a name for him, Chewy. Because he's always bitting and chewing.”

            Chica: “As mom parked the van, Lizzie looked down at the tiny black-and-white puppy in her lap and shook her head. She still couldn't believe what had just happened back there at the shelter.”

            Lizzie and Charles Peterson: “Charles and Lizzie peterson love puppies. Their family fosters these young dogs, giving them love and proper care until they can find a perfect forever home.”

On the back:

            Charles and Lizzie peterson love puppies. Their family fosters these young dogs, giving them love and proper care until they can find a perfect forever home.

            Charles can't stand how Lizzie acts like a know-it-all about dogs. Lizzie is older and thinks charles should listen to what she says. So when twin chihuahua puppies need help, it becomes a competition. Who will find a home first for these super special pups?

            I would recommend this book for Elementry school students who hate animal cruelty, especially dogs. I wish every state had puppy mill laws now.

                                               

                                                            Hope you love it,

Puppy Place: Shadow

The Puppy Place: Shadow

   

       Ok, so I'm not reading these books in order.  It’s not the type of series you HAVE to read in order, so I'm not. :) Shadow is about a black lab and is very smart. He ends up at a place where they train dogs to be guide dogs. (Guide dogs are dogs for blind and disabled people)

    Series: The Puppy Place

    Book #: 3 (once again, not on the cover)

    Author: Ellen Miles

    Age Level: 8+

    Stars: 5

    Violence: None

    Pages: 71

    Main Characters: Shadow, Lizzie and Charles Peterson

    Quotes (from book) About Main Characters:

       Shadow: “Shadow's a pretty special pup”, “He's a purebred Labrador retriever, with papers and everything”

       Lizzie and Charles: Lizzie and Charles were both crazy about dogs.” (Lizzie) “She liked facts. Especially facts about dogs.” (Charles) “Lizzie sighed. Sometimes Charles just didn't listen”

    On the Back:

       Charles and Lizzie Peterson love puppies. Their family fosters these young dogs, giving them love and proper care, until they can find the perfect forever home.

       When the Petersons meet Shadow, they know he is special. He's a cute black lab, and he is extremely smart. Everyone agrees that Shadow will be the perfect puppy for someone. But where will this talented pup do the most good?

    I would recommend this book for ages 8 and up because there are some things younger kids might not understand. Other than that anyone could enjoy it.

Enjoy,

Adelaide

          I would recommend this book to Elementary Animal lovers. It is a great book and I really enjoyed it. It would be a great book for Dog Lovers especially. But it is full of humor and fun. I think anyone would like it.
