Jake the Growling Dog Shares His Trail (Jake the Growling Dog Book 3) by Samantha Shannon – Review by Alexandria Richard

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

The next cute story of Jake and his friends, and learning about others who may be different than them. Here, Jake comes across some unknown tracks and his mind gets away from him thinking of the worst case scenarios of what made them. When Jake meets a new friend Tuck, he doesn’t think anything of it until he sees Tuck’s tracks.

This story includes messages of overcoming fears, accepting others for who they are and learning about their differences (or disabilities), sharing things and why that’s nice and a good thing to do, as well as overall why being kind is better for everyone. I have adored these little life lessons for little ones. Seeing someone else (even a fictional dog) act out these traits helps them to be able to see these lessons in action. I also happen to agree with the life lessons. As someone with a disability myself I make it a point to always answer kids when they wonder why I use a wheelchair but I make it so that the wheelchair is normal and something to help me, rather than something for them to be afraid of.

I also have to mention that the artwork in this series is outstanding. The colors and features are very well done and draw the eye to all to things going on.
