Here are two from my list.

 How Dachshunds Came To Be

A Tall Tale About A Short Long Dog

  by Kizzie Jones

Age level: 3 – 8 / Grade level: P – 2

Genre: Children’s Book

 My  Review

Ever wondered why a dachshund looks like it does?

This was a cute story about a lonely girl who loves spending time with her ocean friends. She longs for a friend she can bring home with her. The creatures of the sea love the little girl and decide to create the perfect friend to live with her.

The illustrations are colorful and fun, breathing life into the characters. And I liked how each creature contributed something of themselves to bring to life some friends for the little girl. It was creative and fun to see how well it all worked.

My son is grown up and I don’t have a small child to read to. I read this book out loud to myself as if I was reading to a child and it really added to the fun. What a delightful tale.

Synopsis

Charming color illustrated tall tale not just for dog lovers everywhere, but for readers of all ages who ever wished for a friend. Discover how creatures of the ocean, the power of love, and the magic of the sea came together to make a little girl happy.

 A Dachshund And A pelican

  by Kizzie Jones

Genre: Children’s Book

 My  Review

I really enjoyed the first book in this series and this one is every bit as fun.

The little girl still loves visiting the beach seeing her ocean friends. And now she has her three fun dachshunds to share the adventures with.  One of the dogs spies a pelican and tries to make friends with it.

Goldie was such a sweet dog but she had something to learn about friendship. She thought looking alike was the same as having something in common and was sad that the pelican didn’t look like her at all. How could they be friends?

Once again the author used characteristics about the bodies of the animals. This time to explain the things they shared alike and those that were different while also explaining that you can like each other without having to look the same.

The illustrations are fun and colorful and this story would have me wagging your tail if I were a dog. Being human, I wore a big grin instead.

Synopsis

In this charming picture book- a sequel to her award-winning book, How Dachsunds Came to Be, Kizzie Jones shows us that true friendship is not just about looking past each other’s differences…it’s about discovering and celebrating those differences.
