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

Jake the Growling Dog Shares His Trail by Samantha Shannon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This lighthearted book with lovely illustrations highlights very important themes that young children, and even some adults, can have integrated into their experiences to help deal with real-world scenarios. Fear of the unknown, recognition and acceptance of different individuals, and knowing when to speak out vs. internal situation resolution. All these complex themes and situations are presented in a simplistic version designed so children can learn in a non-judgment and open way while still seeming fun and age-appropriate. It was a quick read that hit heavy in terms of message, and that is something that is never too early to experience.
