About the Book: Title: Woof! The Truth About Dogs Author: Annette Whipple Illustrator: Juanbjuan Oliver Pub. Date: June 30, 2021
I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
Bella and I are thrilled to wish a very Happy Book Birthday to Woof, Whipple’s latest book in THE TRUTH ABOUT series! Woof provides answers to simple yet valuable questions that any dog owner (or lover) should know. While I had a general idea of the answer, Whipple sets the record straight with the key facts. Here are a few of the questions explored.
Do dog have feelings?
Why do dogs smell butts?
How do dogs help people?
Are dogs just tame wolves?
I love the format of this nonfiction picture book. for it is a great mentor text to teach children about text features. A question is posed in a large and appealing font. Each answer is written in kid friendly language so the facts are easy to understand. Clear, crisp photographs match the question showing the dog engaged in the activity; a sidebar also appears on every page spread and includes Oliver’s illustrations and the dog’s humorous point of view on the topic.
Throughout the entire book, different breeds, each identified with a label, are highlighted in the photographs to show kids the wide range of dogs. Of course, I was happy to see both the beagle and basset hound breed featured!
What I love most about Woof is Whipple strongly advocates for dogs in shelter, a cause close to my heart. The last question, How Can I Help?, explains how kids can volunteer at or raise money for a local shelter. And if your family is able-welcome a dog into your family by adopting. Other helpful information are steps on how to properly meet a dog, directions for making a dog tug toy, a glossary, and a list of websites.
After reading Woof, kids (and adults) will know the why behind the wagging tail, sniffing snout, and happy bark. And if they didn’t like dogs already, Woof might indeed change their mind! Whipple shares a lot of information that may help children calm their fears about canines.
If you know a child who enjoy learning cool facts about animals,, check out Whipple’s other books in THE TRUTH ABOUT series.

Saint Ivy: Kind at All Costs by Laurie Morrison
Having a kind heart is what makes 13 year old Ivy special. Her nana who she bakes with every Friday worries about Ivy’s big, soft heart. Ivy disagrees and believes caring for others is her talent; hence how she got the nickname “Saint Ivy.” As readers get to know Ivy, it becomes apparent Ivy is navigating a lot of change in her life; her parents recently divorced and her father is now with Leo. She is starting to feel like the third wheel in her friendships with best friends Kyra and Peyton. And Ivy just found out her mother is pregnant, acting as a gestational surrogate for good family friends. On the outside, Ivy claims that she is fine, but on the inside, resentful feelings begin to take root which Ivy pushes far down unwillingly to admit they are real.
So when Ivy receives an anonymous email from bythebay@mailme.com who thanks her for turning her awful day into an almost okay one, Ivy plunges into a new project-to uncover the identity of the person behind the email. This quest gives Ivy the ability to neglect her own needs and fears because she is so busy being kind to all the people she thinks may be the sender. Ivy soon learns that she needs to extend the same kindness to herself by sharing her honest feelings with both her family and friends.
Like her last novel, Up for Air, Saint Ivy is a story that I would have devoured when I was in middle school. It is definitely a solid book for readers not quite ready for YA. Middle grade readers (including a thirteen year old me) can relate to Ivy because change is scary and it can be difficult to own your feelings especially when you should feel grateful for your good life. Morrison beautifully captures Ivy’s genuine concern for others but at the same time, her vulnerability . What I love most about Saint Ivy is that readers see Ivy gradually realize that she can’t pour from an empty cup. She (We) need to take of yourself first. Thank you to Laurie Morrison for sharing a finished copy with my #bookexcursion group. Saint Ivy released on May 18, 2021.
Dear Librarian by Lydia M. Sigwarth Illustrated by Romina Galotta
Debut author Sigwarth shares a personal story of how one librarian changed her life. When Sigwarth was five years old, she and her family (nine in total) relocated to Iowa from Colorado. When they first moved, the family could not buy their own home; therefore, they took turns staying with relatives. Her grandma’s house was too small, aunt’s too nice, and cousin’s too full of people. When her mom took her and his siblings to the library one day, Sigwarth finally found her special spot not only because of the wide space but also due to the friendship of the librarian. Even after Sigwarth’s family moved into their own home, the library always held a special place in her heart for she affectionally calls it “a Library Home.” On the final pages, Sigwarth shares that she is now a librarian inspired by the kindness of Debra Stephenson, the librarian who made her feel safe and happy as a child.
Dear Librarian is a beatiful story that tugged at my heart. As a young child, I never experienced homelessness like Sigwarth, but I was a regular patron at my local library. Mrs. Johnston, the librarian, always held books for me that she thought I’d enjoy and along with my mother, I credit her with instilling my love of reading. Galotta’s warm illustrations complement the text well evoking a nostagic feel. Thank you to MacMillan Children’s Publishing for sharing a finished copy with me. Dear Librarian recently released on June 1, 2021.

Puppy In My Head: A Book About Mindfulness by Elise Gravel
To help young children cope with anxiety, Gravel uses the analogy of a “puppy in my head.” In the story, the young female narrator tells introduces readers to her puppy, Ollie, who is quiet most of the time, but when Ollie is excited, scared or upset, he runs around in her mind making noises. To help Ollie (and her) calm down, she takes out her magical leash which is actually a breathing strategy taking deep, slow, gentle breaths. Other calming techniques include exercising and talking to someone.
Gravel’s distinctive comic like illustrations and large, colorful text not only appeal to the eyes but also help get the message to kids. I especially love how a specific word or phrase on each page (feelings, breath, slowly, talk about it) is written in bubble letters to emphasize its importance. At the end of the book, a pediatrican briefly shares her thoughts on the value on introducing children to mindfulness to support their mental health. Puppy in My Head will be a perfect read aloud at the beginning of the year with my primary students!
Bella and I thank you for visiting Beagles and Books!

Thunder and Cluck: Friends Do Not Eat Friends by Jill Esbaum Illustrated by Miles Thompson (Level 1)
Thunder, a large carnivorous dinosaur, attempts to scare Cluck, a small pterodactyl with his loud roar, but Cluck isn’t convinced. In fact, as Thunder continues to make noise, Cluck is pretty chill staying put to enjoy his rest on the grass. Cluck’s lack of response infuriates Thunder but as the two banter back and forth, it is pretty clear that Cluck’s comments are making Thunder rethink his whole plan. Can a friendship truly blossom between these two dinosaurs?
Thunder and Cluck is a great introduction to graphic novel for beginning readers, for the story is mostly one or two panels per page with some wordless page spreads. Esbaum’s peppy dialogue is concise and includes many high frequency words that young readers can recognize and read. With an accessible text, kids can focus on the characters especially the transformation of Thunder from ferocious to friendly. Thompson’s lively illustrations humurously show each character’s contrast in personalities. Stay tuned for The Brave Friends Leads the Way (Book 2) coming out in August 2021!
Nugget and Dog: All Ketchup No Mustard by Jason Tharp (Level 2)
(Chicken) Nugget and (Hot) Dog are neighbors and best friends. One day, they look in a chest in Great-Grandpa Frank-Furter’s attic and find a mask, a paper, and a photo. After showing Gramps the items, he tells them of being a K.E.T.C.H.U.P. Cruscader in his youth. Each letter stood for a positive word (kind, thoughful, courageous, etc.) and the group was formed to save Gastroplis from the evil Mayo Naze and her mold. By being kind, emphathetic, and helpful to Mayo Naze, the Cruscaders convinced her to use power for good, not evil. But now, her great-grandson Dijon Mustard, is hatching his own evil plan. Can Nugget and Dog use K.E.T.C.H.U.P to save the town once again?
With cool characters, an intriguing plot, and engaging illustrations, Nugget and Dog is a hilarious story with an affirming message! Tharp’s comic panels are bold and playful and the text includes puns that will keep kids laughing throughout the story. As an adult, I chuckled every time Dijon appeared on the scene, for he is perfectly evil with his slanty eyebrows and his MWAHAHA outbursts with his sidekick Crouton.
What I especially loved is how Nugget and Dog showed the power of positivity and the message that you can do big things even if you are small. The next Nugget and Dog adventure, Yum Fest is the Best (Book 2), publishes in August 2021.
Geraldine Pu and Her Lunch Box Too! by Maggie P. Chang (Level 3)
Like a lot of kids her age, Geraldine’s favorite time of the school day is lunch. Amah (Grandma in Taiwanese) makes the best food and even includes notes in her grinning lunch box, which Geraldine affectionately Biandang. Look how cute he is!
But when Nico who sits by Geraldine smells her curry and loudly says “EW”! and further remarks “Your lunch is gross,” other classmates follow with words like “yuck” and “weird.” Although Geraldine loves her Amah’s Taiwanese lunches, she is now nervous to eat them at the lunch table. Geraldine is so upset that she not only does eat not the delicious bao but also takes her anger out on Biandang throwing him, but then quickly apologizing and mending him. On the next day, right before Geraldine opens Biandang, Nico makes another rude comment, but it is now directed at Deven and his lunch. Geraldine knows that she has to stand up both for herself and Deven and teach her classmates a powerful lesson to be both open minded and compassionate.
Young children need to learn about the effects of microaggressions and debut author/illustrator Chang’s Geraldine Pu and Her Lunch Box Too is the perfect story to help kids understand how their comments can be hurtful to their peers. Chang’s comic panels are bright and detailed with a large text to make it easy to read. Geraldine’s thoughts ands feelings are conveyed through the narration and the dialogue, The number of panels per page increases which shows the Ready-to-Read level progression from 1 to 3. Bonuses include an author explanation of how Geraldine and her family speak English, Madarin Chinese, and Taiwanese, as well as a glossary of Madarin and Taiwanese words with pictures. In addition, at the end of the book, Biandang shares his thoughts too about names and foods highlighted in the story, and Amah shares her steamed pork bao recipe. A second book has not been shared yet, but I am hopeful the wait won’t be long!
It’s the fall of 1989. 12 year old Etan loves rooting for the San Francisco Giants with his dad, drawing, and walking Buddy, his neighbor’s dog. Ever since his mom checked into a hospital to treat her mental illness, Etan has stopped speaking because she was the one person he could talk to about everything. He and her best friend Jordan have drifted apart and with his dad working a lot, Etan spends a lot of time at his grandfather’s jewelry shop who shares stories of immigrating from Prague to the United States to flee the Nazis.
One day, a neighbor and fellow shop owner, Mrs. Li, asks Etan to make a delivery to the home of Malia, a young Filipina girl living with severe eczema. Bullied because of her skin, Malia is now homeschooled. After Etan shares a drawing of her dragon mailbox with Malia, the two connect quickly. Etan feels comfortable talking with her and as they explore the redwoods near her house, Malia opens up about her health condition. After Etan is cut during an earthquake tremor, his grandfather applies a clay from the old world on his arm and sings something in Hebrew making the cut disappear. He wonders if this earthly material could cure Malia. What Etan has yet to realize though is “true friendship is the oldest and strongest form of medicine.”
Gorgeously written in verse from the point of view of Etan, The Magical Imperfect is a touching and hopeful story of family, friendship, and finding out who you are. The setting perfectly fits the plot, for throughout the story, small earthquakes occured emphasizing the uncertainty in both Etan’s and Malia’s lives. Would Etan’s mom come home? Would Malia skin heal? When the historic earthquake occurred right before the third game of the 1989 World Series between the Oakland Athletics and the San Francisco Giants, my heart was racing and I couldn’t stop reading. And like Rajani LaRocca’s novel in verse, Red, White, and Whole, I loved being transported back to the 1980’s and cannot deny I visited YouTube to watch Cyndi Lauper’s Time After Time video. Thanks to the author and MacMillan Children Publishing for sharing an eARC with me.

Summer is upon us! 12 more days of school until my year officially ends. It’s definitely been an historical school year beginning 100% virtual in September and transitioning to hybrid in March. As challenging as it has been at times, I have grown professionally and personally. I am so grateful for time to relax, reflect & rejuvenate and as always, read! Books remain a source of comfort and I am grateful for all the stories read that always they remind me to always be hopeful.
The 17 year cicadas are in their glory right now. Apparently most dogs include my sweet Bella consider them a tasty treat. I have to closely monitor Bella to ensure she does not over indulge.
The cicada sounds are very soothing. Take a listen.

The Magical Imperfect by Chris Baron
It’s the fall of 1989. 12 year old Etan loves rooting for the San Francisco Giants with his dad, drawing, and walking Buddy, his neighbor’s dog.

Nerdycorn by Andrew Root Illustrated by Erin Kraam
While her fellow unicorns are leaping over rainbows and splashing in waterfalls, Fern is building robots, coding, experimenting, and reading. She also has a big heart always willing to help others but after being called Nerdycorn and not being invited to Sparkle Dance parties, Fern decides that her kindness has run out and refuses fixing Flutter Phones and Shimmer Bikes. On the night of the Sparkle Dance, all the machines that are on the fritz. The unicorns apologize for their behavior, but Fern is still annoyed. Will Fern accept her apology or hold on to her grudge?
Nerdycorn is a sweet story about not only having the confidence to be yourself but also sthe courage to stick up for yourself. I love that Fern is proud of who she is, but my heart did hurt for her when the other unicorns teased her. Fern’s decision to take a hiatus from lending a hand taught the unicorns the valuable lesson, “The only way to have a friend is to be one.” The bold and lively illustrations show the range of both Fern’s and the other unicorns’ feelings throughout the story. Thanks to the author for sending me a copy of Nerdycorn. It recently published on May 18, 2021.
Tabitha and Fritz Trade Places by Katie Frawley Illustrated by Laurie Stansfield
Tabitha and Fritz Trade Places is an entertaining and engaging story with a sweet message to appreciate what we have. Frawley’s choice to use text messages to tell the story is clever and unique. As an adult reading the story aloud, I enjoyed the puns and alliterative closings (feeling fierce, primal and pouncing). I also appreciated the post scripts included in some of the messages which added useful information. Stansfield’s colorful and expressive illustrations practically leap off the page and since there are a number of wordless page spreads, her vivid artwork moves the plot along, And pay close attention to the endpapers, for the front explains why both Tabitha and Fritz are craving a change in habitat and the back shows how Tabitha and Fritz both surprised each other on their return home.

Hugo and the Impossible Thing by Renée Felice Smith and Chris Gabriel Illustrated by Sydney Hanson
At the edge of the forest, there is the Impossible Thing. a mess of boulders, thorns, rivers and cliffs. Hugo, a curious French bull terrier wonders why it is called impossible, for no animal has ever attempted to get through it and see what is on the other side. Apparently, Mr. Bear, Little Fox, Miss Otter, and Old Mr. Goat have deemed it impossible. While Hugo may not be as strong and clever as Mr. Bear and Little Fox and have the swimming and climbing skills as Miss Otter and Old Mr. Goat, Hugo decides he has to try. The next morning, when Hugo reaches the edge of the forest, he realizes that he does not have to tackle the Impossible Thing alone. All his forest friends are there ready to lend a hand to make the impossible possible.
Inspired by Smith’s and Gabriel’s dog, Hugo, who overcame a life threatening illness, Hugo and the Impossible Thing is a feel good story about courage, friendship, and teamwork. I love Hugo’s positive attitude. He doesn’t question each animal’s response when he/she says the Impossible Thing has always been impossible. In fact, he agrees that is what he has heard, but despite it, Hugo thinks he is going to try. Hugo’s determination propels the animals to change their fixed mindset to a growth mindset. The soft illustrations show Hugo’s positivity from beginning to end and the other animals’ transformation from skeptic to believer.

About the Book: Title: Tabitha and Fritz Trade Places Author: Katie Frawley Illustrator: Laurie Stansfield Pub. Date: June 1, 2021
Beagles and Books is excited to be part of the blog tour for Tabitha and Fritz Trade Places published by Two Lions/Amazon Publishing. Special thanks to the publisher and Barbara Fisch of Blue Slip Media for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
Review:
What do animals do when they need a change of scenery? They hop onto the website, Lair-BNB, of course! Fritz, an elephant living in a rain forest swaps homes with Tabitha, a suburban cat. Both animals are excited about their adventure. Kids will love the format, for Fritz and Tabitha communicate entirely through Lair-BNB messages.
Upon arrival, Fritz is greeted by Claudia, Tabitha’s owner. I love how Fritz calls the pool a watering hole, and how adorable that he wears a swimmy on his trunk.
Tabitha quickly finds family in the rainforest after meeting the cheetahs. While the text makes it seem she is feeling quite at hime, the illustrations show that Tabitha may be a little confused, for she thinks a bee hive is a scratching post, a meerkat’s burrow is a litter box, and a snake’s tail is a swatting toy. Oh wait! That tail belongs to Rocky! According to Fritz’s previous message, Rocky does not play well with others.
As Fritz and Tabitha spend more time in their new settings, problems arise. Fritz confuses a decorative donut as real and Tabitha appalls a herbivorous herd of elephants by adding mice as a pizza topping. The final straw occurs when Fritz mistakes Claudia’s birthday for his own and Tabitha takes an involuntary dip in the watering hole. Don’t elephants know cats are not fans of getting wet? After sleepless nights for both Fritz and Tabitha, they both realize there truly is no place like home!
Tabitha and Fritz Trade Places is an entertaining and engaging story with a sweet message to appreciate what we have. Frawley’s choice to use text messages to tell the story is clever and unique. As an adult reading the story aloud, I enjoyed the puns and alliterative closings (feeling fierce, primal and pouncing). I also appreciated the post scripts included in some of the messages which added useful information. Stansfield’s colorful and expressive illustrations practically leap off the page and since there are a number of wordless page spreads, her vivid artwork moves the plot along, And pay close attention to the endpapers, for the front explains why both Tabitha and Fritz are craving a change in habitat and the back shows how Tabitha and Fritz both surprised each other on their return home.
One of the joys of my role as reading specialist is reading aloud to kids. Last week, when I was asked to cover a class, I brought Tabitha and Fritz Trade Places with me. The class of second graders were captiviated by the story giggling from beginning to end. After reading, I asked them to share anything they learned from Tabitha and Fritz. Here are some of their thoughtful responses.
“Sometimes people bother you and you need to get away from them.”
“It’s fun to go someplace new.”
“If it is your first time doing something, you might not know the rules. You need people to help you.”
“I like going on vacation, but I do miss my friends when I am away.”
“After they got home, they were happy and not sad anymore.”
The best books are those that make you laugh and learn. Highly recommend Tabitha and Fritz Trade Places for the mirth and messages!
Praise for Tabitha and Fritz Trade Places!
“A satisfying spin on the trading-places trope.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Tabitha and Fritz are pretty much two of a kind, but debut author Frawley livens their epistolary exchanges with wordplay and knowing phrases…She gets a big assist from Stansfield (Poems Out Loud!), whose bright pastel settings, vivid expressions, and large cast of high-spirited supporting characters pull readers through the story.” —Publishers Weekly
“A laugh-out-loud story that spells out why the grass is not always greener, with subtle language lessons built in for emerging readers.” —School Library Journal
