Jake the Growling Dog Shares His Trail (Jake the Growling Dog Book 3) by Samantha Shannon – Review by Alexandra Nay
Jake the Growling Dog Shares His Trail by Samantha Shannon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
In this wonderfully illustrated children’s book, author Samantha Shannon explores many challenging and important childhood emotions. One of the over all themes was how to acknowledge and face fear of the unknow. This book demonstrates how compassion, acceptance, and friendship are vital tools to use in life. The story line is easy to follow, and the complexities of fear-based reactions are demonstrated in a simple yet engaging way. My 7-year-old read it out loud as part of her summer reading practice and loved it. We will be looking into the other books by this author as well!
