MONDAY: Labracadabra

Summary
Zach has always wanted a dog. But he wants a "cool" dog - a golden retriever or chocolate lab - a dog named "Max" or "Rex." What he gets, though, is a mutt named Larry with a crazy, crinkly tail. Larry's tail seems to have magical qualities, though. Maybe Zach and Larry could be best pals afterall.

Review
Cute story, small chapters for new readers. Just want to scoop Larry right up!
3.5 out of 5 stars

Recommended for: kids 5 to 10 (reading level of 2nd or 3rd grade)

Cautions: none, unless you are a parent who doesn't want a dog, and your little reader does.

Review Policy

I am honored when an author or a publisher offers me a book for review. My approach to these offers is to accept only the materials that sound like something I will like and to review the book as quickly as possible. I will accept electronic or physical books for review.

Not every book works for every reader. Because of this, I will not post a negative review. This could discourage a reader who would actually like the book I didn't care for. Unless a publisher requires a review, I will not post a review on a book I did not like.

At certain times of the year I may take a break from accepting review copies from authors or publishers unless I have a previous relationship with them. This allows for busy seasons at work and for the holidays, and also helps when I have a backlog of review books.

If you have a book to offer, I'd love to hear from you.
