Review from my little sister, Laly (10):
Have you ever felt lonely or in need? Well, the Love Puppies are here to help!
Book 1: The Love Puppies are a group of magical puppies that help needy kids. Rosie can grow flowers, Clyde can fly, Noodles can control the weather, and Barkly can turn into anything he wishes. When Meiko, in 3rd grade, starts her new school in the middle of the year and hasn’t made a friend in 3 days, the Love Puppies will use their power to support her. Along the way, they find a girl named Jasmine, who has much in common with Meiko. Their goal is to help Meiko and Jasmine become friends.
Book 2: After Noodles’ pet caterpillar grew up and became a beautiful butterfly, Noodles was very sad about losing him. The same thing happens to a boy called Caleb, who lost his pet dog. Once the Love Puppies hear about this, they are here to save the day. But this mission is more complicated than the quests they usually get. It is like his dog has vanished without a trace. Can the love puppies help Caleb find his dog? If they can’t, how can they help Caleb move on?
Even if the book targets a younger audience (7-10), I did enjoy reading this book. It could have been my favorite book at a younger age.
My favorite character was Clyde because he could only think of food like me.
Adorable, fast-paced, and a touch of magic, those books reminded me of My Little Pony. They will give confidence in reading to young readers and will provide fun times with a good message.
