Ruth –
This trilogy of charming puppy stories was our introduction to Holly Webb. It is easy to see why her animal stories are so popular with young animal lovers. My seven year old devoured these! She has been wanting a puppy of her own for the longest time and these beautiful, relatable tales have only intensified that desire! She was totally immersed in each story and the experiences of the characters – Zoe’s desire to help three abandoned puppies, Anna’s despair when her puppy goes missing and her determination to find him, and Bella’s pride in her scruffy mongrel pup, even when her friend makes her feel like her puppy is inferior.
I would really recommend these as books to read together with young children at bed time, or as gentle stories for young independent readers around seven or eight years of age.
