After all, one of his old friends from the shelter filled his head with stories of her time in the spotlight alongside stars like Pawtrick Stewart (in films based on Virginia Woof novels). But when news trickles in about an upcoming family vacation to Hollywood, Junior is overcome with happiness. But he’s also capable of getting up to some wild antics that might not always sit well with his family. In Dog Diaries: Mission ImPAWsible, the mischievous mutt gets up to his old tricks, and then some.

If you are a horse person, there are the Horse Diaries by various authors.Have you ever wanted to read a James Patterson book, but for kids? Well, you’re in luck! The writer-turned-juggernaut brand continues with a series of escapades following Patterson’s exuberant four-legged friend, Junior. Perhaps it will help children and even adults realize that critters like Ginger are beings that need care and sometimes your family is not always the right one for that animal.
I am pro-cat and racoon (both of whom get a well-deserved, but bad rap here) and think sometimes we need to do the kind thing and have animals go to the “forever nap,” but at the same time, greatly appreciate books like this. But a young or sensitive child will be okay if you let them know, “Things seem bad now, but I think Ginger will be okay.” Due to the “sweetness” of it, children should be okay with the gritter realities. But if you are “pets are family” kind of person and think “adopt not shop” or are for no-kill shelters, this is a book for you. they are pets, not “members of the family” or hate the idea of “The Rainbow Bridge”) this might not be for you. If you are not modern in your feelings about pets (i.e. She is sent to a rescue farm and finally finds her forever home with one heck of convenient coincidence. Due to the age range (older 6 to young 10), the reality of “street life” is glossed over, but again you see sicknes, eating out of garbage cans, raccoon-caused injuries. The part I felt was odd was when Ginger is a street dog. The second home looks like it would have worked out, but life gets in the way. The realities of this family are true to life if not a bit shallow (we only see humans through the eyes of Ginger, therefore, never get the whole picture). We then see Gingers first home after the pet shop where Ginger becomes the worst thing you can have (according to Klimo’s text): a Christmas puppy. Nothing is “graphic,” but Kate Klimo mentions how the cage digs into the feet of the puppies and tells you about the death of one litter-mate. Twice? Already over it.įirst, we see how the conditions of a puppy mill will affect animals (fear, disease, even the death of the dogs). The other part was the reference to the “furever home.” Once is funny.
The use of “Rainbow Bridge” for the death of dogs was a bit heavy-handed for this reader, but most people should be fine. The modern language shows how some people act/feel/treat pets. With the first book (though I am assuming you do not have to read in any order), Ginger, we see a Golden Retriever narrating her life from her puppy mill birth to her various homes. The Dog Diaries follow the lives of different breeds throughout their lives.
