Review Detail

Priya is an entrepreneur and owns her own party-planning business. She loves to create lists and has the business cards to help advertise her skills. Priya's friend Dola wants to hire her to plan a party for her puppy Prince and they decide on a puppy picnic. The first thing to do is make a list of everything they need. It's a fairytale themed party, so making crowns is a must. The dogs have to have treats too, so pupcakes are put on the menu. The best part is seeing everything come together at the end, even with the bumps in the road to get there.

FAIRY-TALE PUPPY PICNIC is a cute children's story that celebrates dogs and friendship. Children can learn from Priya's organizational skills and her "go get it" attitude. The illustrations are simplistic, yet adorable and I like how the speech bubbles are colored. In the back of the book, it teaches children how to make their own garland so they can throw their own parties at home. There are also some discussion questions to give children the opportunity to learn more. This is a nice step for children to take before making the next step to graphic novels.


Final Verdict: I would recommend this to early readers aged six and older who love crafts, parties and puppies. It's engaging and inspirational, teaching children you're never to young to start something big.
