Jake the Growling Dog (Jake the Growling Dog Book 1) by Samantha Shannon – Review by Alexandria Richard

Jake the Growling Dog by Samantha Shannon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is SUCH a cute story. Here we have Jake, who happens to growl while doing things. He doesn’t plan on doing it but things that make him happy cause his growl to come out; and others just don’t understand this.

I loved the life lessons of being open and willing to accept others for who they are because you take the time to learn about them. I liked the fact that the black squirrel encouraged others to get to know Jake despite his differences and the thought that he was growling to be mean.

I also thought the activity at the end of the book was very cute and set both children and adults up for more positivity in their life if they did it every now and then.

I highly recommend this book to be read for children before bed or during any storytime. The pictures are wonderful and the rhyming was easy to follow.
