Review of Mike And The Dog-Gone Labradoodle

Mike and The Dog-Gone Labradoodle
By Emlyn Chand
When Mike discovers that his secret crush, Nic's  (Nicole,) dog has gone missing he is on the case. After failing to find her dog, Baxter, on his first outing, Mike's twin sister along with some of their friends put on their thinking caps and head out to look for clues as to where the dog could have gone. The relationship between Mike and his twin sister, Maddie is totally believable for a 12 year old boy. They're total opposites and he just doesn't get her smart 'weirdness.' How Mike describes his feelings for Nic and his interactions with his friends also really puts you in his shoes. All of the characters have fun and humorous personalities and the descriptions of them really give you an image of this newly found group of friends. It was a great lead into how The Pet Shop Society was formed and, I feel, would really engage readers 7-11 to read more of the series. This was a simple chapter book that was engaging as well as thought provoking and would take the child on a fun adventure.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review, which this is.

Annie's Homegrown Organic Creamy Tomato Soup and Bunny Pasta

I received Annie's Homegrown Organic Creamy Tomato Soup and Bunny Pasta for free to review through Influenster! We love grilled cheese and tomato soup so this was a great try. The taste and texture were similar to our regular tomato soup so bonus that it's organic and still tastes good! The pasta bunnies were a cute, fun addition to the soup, however my 5 year old was not a super fan of the texture. She said she liked them as long as they weren't with a bite of soup so she just fished them out but at least still ate them. A great choice in soup especially if organic is what you're looking for! Annie's makes several different products that you can check out on their website Annie's. Join in the delicious fun!!
