Porter and Midge and their pups have embarked on a new adventure. This time they are making their pups homemade dog treats. Paws and Pastries was adorable, well written, and well illustrated. I have always enjoyed spoiling my own dogs by making their food and homemade treats, so I’m always on the look out for new recipes to try, which this little book had quite a few of. It also discussed responsibility with their animals, recipes, using quality ingredients, nutrition, and for cooking with adult supervision. I really enjoy these children’s books.

It’s paws and treats in this new adventure of Porter and Midge. This fun tale turns into a culinary delight for our four-footed friends. It includes recipes of all shapes and sizes that are easy for children to bake, with the help of adults, of course, for their furry friends. They will put the magic ingredient needed love, into each stir of the spoon. Giselle and Jennie’s narrative is done in a rhyming way that helps children learn and become more interested in the story, as do the wonderful illustrations.

This is such a great book for kids. Showing how they can make homemade treats for dogs. Including the recipes and most importantly a warning on what dogs cannot have is great. The illustrations and rhyming words are excellent in this cute and quick read. I’m looking forward to trying out some of these recipes on my own dog.

I absolutely love the Porter and Midge series and I think this might be one of my favorites. In this installment, we get to hang out with Lora and CJ in the kitchen as they make treats for the doggies. I love the rhyming aspect of this story as well as the illustrations. But I think the thing I love the most is that at the end of the story there are recipes upon recipes for dog-safe treats for you and your littles to try. I love how interactive this book is. Definitely pick this one up and add it to your library! Reviewed by @meggs1717

The book stands out for its use of engaging rhymes and delightful illustrations. These elements not only make the recipes accessible but also keep young readers entertained. The visual appeal of the illustrations is likely to capture the imagination of children, making the process of baking even more enjoyable.

I loved this story. It has an easy to read format with a rhyming rhythm. The pictures are beautiful and easy to grab attention. I do believe my favorite part are the little treat recipes in the back. The author makes these such neat books. The story is always informative and entertaining. It always teaches with neat lessons after the story. This is another favorite for families with pets and young children.
