‘Meet Porter the Mastiff he’s big and he’s bold, And Midge, the Swissy, she’s a sight to behold. The two pups are besties with CJ and Lora, Together they explore all the fauna and flora.
But this day was different; they stayed inside to play, And came up with the idea to bake the hours away. “Today let’s bake treats for Porter and Midge, Like tasty cookies that will make their tails twitch.” They found a recipe book, what a surprise! And read through the pages with wide, eager eyes They gathered ingredients with joy and with glee, Then they began the day’s fun baking spree.’
Porter and Midge: Paws and Pastries: A Kid’s Guide to Homemade Dog Treats by Jennie Chen & Giselle Nevada is the latest instalment in this cute series which incorporates engaging stories that always come with handy, informative elements that all pet families should know.
We all love a tempting treat, and so do our furry family members. But not everything is safe for them to eat, and this book encourages a discussion about what is safe, doggy nutritional requirements, responsible treat giving, and other important factors. And this time, instead of all their ‘outdoor’ adventures- CJ, Lara, Porter and Midge all stay indoors to cook up a storm — providing us with quite a few yummy recipes to make for our own doggy family and friends.
This is a fun, quick, and easy read that has also has a great rhyming rhythm, a bit of a lyrical feel, that will help children/readers to connect with the words/story/message – while the recipes provided range from savoury to sweet – cookies to birthday cake and everything in-between. Time to get you bake on!!
Happy Reading…
Thank you, Jennie Chen & Giselle Nevada!
