My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The illustrations are beautiful and the story is so sweet. It was perfect for my kids, age-wise, (3& 6). It shows kids to always tell the truth and not let someone else take the blame for their mistakes. I love how this story is about a real pup and gives some info on him. There is a part on the last page that is a passage from the bible, and while it is about what the story is trying to teach the child if you are not religious (or a different religion) this book might not be for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

You Are Special is a great book to read with the kiddos it revolves around themes of self-worth and individuality, aimed at encouraging children to recognize their own unique value, self-esteem and self-acceptance. Which I think is super important for everyone to have, not just littles. The illustrations are colorful and inviting, enhancing the book’s appeal and helping to convey the story’s positive message effectively. We look forward to reading more of this author and more adventures from Buddy 🥰

ps Omggg real life Buddy is soo stinking Adorable

Aww poor little Buddy. This one has a very important lesson, HONESTY. All too often others take the blame for things because no one likes to get in trouble but letting others take it when they are innocent is so much worse. I have always told my two boys; Honesty is the best policy.

Oh, so important. Everyone is made special, and everyone has their special family out there waiting for them. Patience while you wait is one of the hardest things to do in this world, but the good things take time, but they always find you, eventually.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a part of the Buddy the Corgi series, but can absolutely be read as a stand-alone. This story is about Buddy and the cats that are a part of his adopted family. When it seems like there is a midnight bandit who keeps getting into the trash, Buddy tries to stay awake to catch the bandit. The first night doesn’t quite go as planned, and the second night Buddy gets caught in the middle of a mess that he didn’t make, but does get blamed for. When he finally catches the bandit, the bandit is more than happy to let Buddy take the blame, until he is convinced that the decision to do the right thing is the most important one. This is a great book for helping to teach children about how important it is to take responsibility for your choices. I would recommend this book for any parent or teacher of young children, or children’s librarian.

Such a beautiful book. A wonderful message with beautiful illustrations brings this message full circle. Every living thing is made unique, or special in their own way. Yes, some can be cruel about those differences, but they make you special and they are never something to be ashamed of. Inspiring first book in this series.

If you have been reading this series, you know that Buddy has been adopted into his forever home. His new home has cats. One cat is a little bit of a troublemaker and gets Buddy into trouble. Both Buddy and Salem learn that telling lies will get you into more trouble and more often than not, could get others in trouble as well.

Another cute story with a good lesson attached. This is book 3 in a very cute series. The pictures are simple yet fitting for the story.

My seven year old son and I are loving the Buddy series! These books are so cute! We love Buddy and his siblings! This one talks about how being different is a GOOD thing. It makes us special and unique. I think that is something that every little kid needs to hear. Sometimes the adults too! I have always made it a point to teach my kids that “weird” is actually awesome!

The lessons that are taught in the Blue Corgi series will be forever lessons. This one is no exception to that. Learning right from wrong and that honesty is always the best. Kids will love the illustrations and even while young they will learn the ways of the precious Blue Corgi.

Well this is a very adorable story to kick off a sweet series. We meet Buddy a Corgi who realizes as he get a bit older, that he doesn’t look like the other pups. Buddy struggles with accepting his differences, but he has a supportive mom who does everything to show him that being different is ok. This is a wonderful way to teach children different lessons in life, but without feeling preachy or complicated. I look forward to seeing what else will happen to Buddy!

This is the second book in this adorable series and it did not disappoint. We get to see Buddy and his siblings placed for adoption. While all of his siblings have been adopted, Buddy has not been and doesn’t understand why. The story has a great message for youth reading the story that sometimes you just have to be patient and trust that you will get what you deserve. Buddy continues to be a very sweet corgi and a great way to teach children in a way that is both fun and engaging.

Another adorable take from the author about Buddy! I think the author has done a great job of creating lessons for young children to learn using a puppy and his friends. This story revolves around Buddy being falsely accused of making messes in the house. He does discover who the culprit is, but he doesn’t have want to be a tattletale. Buddy learns that making the right choice is important, as is being honest. I think its another great story that I would recommend to parents of young children.

This book has fantastic illustrations and a wonderful tale about a Corgi who is still waiting to be adopted after his siblings have already been adopted. Really young kids may not understand it all in the first couple readings but if they are read this book often enough then they will learn and understand about patience.

In this story Buddy is different than his siblings because he’s blue and they are tan. He thought nothing of it until the time came for adoption. He became sad and feared he’d never be adopted. Finally a family made a long trip to get him and he had everything he needed. As the title says some things take time!

You Are Special (Buddy the Blue Corgi, #1)You Are Special by Suzanna Lynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

You Are Special is a book in the series Buddy the Blue Corgi. It is a story about a puppy who looks different from his siblings. He is the only blue pup in his litter, and is worried that makes him strange. His mother is so sweet, turning the tables and making him understand that being different is special, not strange. We all have differences, and that is something to embrace, not stress over. The story teaches a good lesson to our younger readers. While it does have a bible passage tie in at the end, if you are not religious, you could skip that page and enjoy the book just the same. The illustrations are adorable, and my son and I liked seeing the photograph of the real Buddy at the end. We look forward to reading the rest of Buddy’s books.

Decisions Matter is the third book in the Buddy the Blue Corgi Series. Buddy returns at his new home, with new siblings, Salem and Donut. There is a mystery afoot as someone is getting into the trash, but no one can figure out who it is! A series of mishaps places Buddy in the line of fire and his new owners think he is the trash culprit. When Buddy finally catches the real offender, he stays quiet. The lessons in this book center around not lying, and to stick up for yourself. As a preschool teacher, I could see myself using all three of the books in this series as social-emotional teaching tools. They can also be used with older children. My 10 year old daughter thought they were cute!

You Are Special is a children’s book by Suzanna Lynn. It is the first book in the Buddy the Blue Corgi Series. The book follows a brand new puppy navigating the big world and wondering why he looks so different from all the animals around him, even his own siblings. Buddy is made fun of for being “strange” but his mom tells him that he’s not strange, only unique, and that it’s not a bad thing. This colorfully illustrated children’s story explores the importance of being kind to others, but also knowing the things that make you special. The added bonus Bible verse at the end was a cute touch.

This is such a beautifully written book about the importance of patience!! Buddy is seeing his brothers and sisters going away from the farm. People come and look at them everyday. Momma explains that it’s time for them to go to their forever homes. One day, Buddy looks around and he’s the only pup left in his litter. His mom very lovingly explains that his time hasn’t come yet.

The illustrations are very colorful and well done! The story does come from a Biblical basis and there is one Bible verse quoted within at the end. This is a great book for any library and I highly recommend it, especially if you know someone struggling with patience.

Buddy and his siblings notice some strangers coming to the farm and looking at them. His mom explains it is time for them to be adopted to a new family. Buddy anxiously waits for his new family after being overlooked.

This was another wonderful story in this series. I like the way the writer has the emotions for Buddy to be relatable for children. You are engaged from the beginning, a really delightful series.

Was a joy to share this story with the grands! They actually sat still and listened and enjoyed the pictures. Love that the author moves the story along quickly, as kids lose interest fast but, not this time! Love how the author teaches something along the way in the telling of the story, right and wrong choices was the lesson in this one. Will be looking for more stories from this author.

This was a really perfect book for my kids to learn that waiting can be hard. I know my kids are still learning this and this book was great to show them that waiting can be frustrating and that its hard when its not right away. This book shows patience and understanding that things take time. My kids really love the illustrations of book, and it goes very well with the story. These stories of Buddy are amazing, and my kids absolutely love them. Buddy is waiting for his forever home and my kids resonated with this due to our dogs too. This is a great book for kids to learn how things are to take time and we need to have patents sometimes.

This was a really perfect book for my kids to learn that its ok to be a little different then anyone else. That we are all different in everything that we do and that’s ok. I love how it also showed that someone else’s words don’t mean anything and that you can be special in your own way and that’s ok. The book shows how all the farm animals are different in their own way, and that its ok to be different. This book has amazing illustrations that flowed and went well with the story and my children really engaged with this story. its short and easy to read.

Buddy is back again with another story and another lesson. After being adopted by his new family, Buddy is settling in nicely. He enjoys his time with the family and his two cat siblings Salem and Donut. Of course they had their little fights here and there, but Donut normally helped sort it out. One morning the house woke up to trash all over the kitchen. Buddy was sad that his family had to clean up a mess and that they were upset. He made a plan to catch the trash bandit! But staying up past your bedtime can be hard. He fell asleep and when he woke to a crash he ended up getting blamed for the mess. Poor Buddy was in trouble for something he didn’t do. The next day he took an extra long nap so that he could stay up and catch the bandit once and for all. Hiding behind a sack of potatoes he stay quite until he heard noises from the trash. Jumping out he catches the culprit! But they run off and he again is blamed from the mess. He is put to bed and a gate is put up to keep him away from the kitchen. Donut comes to sort out the problem and learns who really is at fault. Not wanting to be a tattletale, Buddy keeps him mouth shut. But the truth always comes out. The next night the real culprit gets caught and Buddy learns that being honest is always the best. Even if you are scared you shouldn’t let someone else get in trouble for something they didn’t do.

These books (Buddy the Blue Corgi Series) are such cute and fun books. They each have a wonderful lesson and they are great for kids! Kids are taught many ways and I believe that books are one way that tend to be missed out on early on. In this book Buddy, a blue corgi is waiting to get adopted. He’s a little scared at first, but he loves the idea of going to a forever home. One by one his brothers and sisters get adopted. He’s left feeling unwanted and without his siblings playing just isn’t the same. One day a man and woman show up and they are so happy to find him. They drove from another state, hours away just for him! Arriving to his new home he meets their three kids and their two cats. He learned that his family just didn’t find him yet. He was worried for nothing. Waiting can be hard. Such a wonderful book! I can’t wait to read the others with my kiddos. I got this for a nine year old, but I really think that younger kids would not only love these books, but they would benefit from the lesson in it. Grab all of these books!! You will not regret it. Wonderful for first libraries, bedtime stories, and kindergarteners!

You Are Special (Buddy the Blue Corgi, #1)You Are Special by Suzanna Lynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is such a cute book that teaches children that it’s okay to be different. In the book you follow a Corgi who is unique. Born in a small farm in Kansas, Buddy didn’t know that he was different. It took a few weeks for his eyes to open, but once they did him and his siblings played and explored the barn a lot. One day a horse told him that he looked strange. He was blue when all the other pups were tan and white. He never realized that he was different. This upset him very much. Was he even a Corgi? Was he even a dog?!! Finding him upset, his mother tried to comfort him. Letting him know that different isn’t bad, it’s unique! Giving him examples, he slowly started to see what she meant. Everyone has something different about them. Different just means special and unique. This is such a great book for kids. Let’s face it, kids can be mean. Going to school and getting made fun of happens to us all. This book teaches at an early age, that different is okay! It’s better than okay even. Kids need this lesson in their lives. I got this for my nine year old, but I think this would be wonderful for younger kids. Start them out young with these books and lessons. This book is great for first libraries, bedtime/night time reads, and kindergarten reads.
