What makes Maggie awesome? Here's what some people are saying—
Jen Isbell, Pet Friends Magazine
I reviewed this book for my website
and I really loved it! It teaches kids what's really important in life - and
that quite often comes in the package of four furry paws!
Elizabeth Tipping, book
reviewer
I received an advance reader copy of this book in exchange for my unbiased review.
Doris Settles, writing
instructor and editor
Would have been 5* if there had
been a bit of foreshadowing as she cuddles up with her pup. As a rescue dog
enthusiast, this is a wonderful book to teach children about special needs dogs
and caring for the rest of the world. Teaches how fancy, expensive, weird
experiences aren't the only ones that matter. Caring for a hurt dog and having
family time with grandparents is just as important...and perhaps more so!
Illustrations are lovely...very ethereal and imaginative, especially the
teacher's red shoes! Excellent job and highly recommend.
Anjali Amit, book reviewer
Very successfully the author weaves
a story of love and caring, of giving up and receiving. Maggie’s family chooses
to forgo the vacation to rescue a dog lying by the roadside. Every choice has a
consequence. So much to learn from such a simple story. Young 4-8 years old
will enjoy the tale, their parents will talk of problem-solving, compassion,
care for animals.
