Beagles and Books is excited to be part of the blog tour for Who’s Walking Dawg? which recently published on October 31, 2024 by Red Door Press. Special thanks to the author for sending me an eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
Dawg enjoys a pretty pawsome life with his family; however, one day he stands by the door with his leash in his mouth waiting. Dad is busy cooking, Mom is on the computer, Bro is practicing his guitar and Sis is on her phone.
What’s Dawg to do? His only solution is to take himself on a walk as Little One, the youngest, watches him leave. The yard is his first stop, then the sidewalk where his nose tells him which dogs have previously visited, and finally to the park to romp with the dogs he “met” earlier.
Will Dawg’s family notice his absence? Will Dawg find his way back home? Don’t worry! Author Prins crafts a story about an independent and intelligent dog with a happy ending. I love how Dawg attempts to communicate with his family and readers can see his words in speech bubbles. Prins’ text is full of vivid verbs, awesome adjectives, and luscious literary language exposing kids to rich vocabulary and Franson’s expressive illustrations show Dawg as a clever and resource canine.
