This book was such a great read. I read this with my 10 year old. She really enjoyed it. The pictures was colorful. The detailing was great. The world building and character was well thought of.

This is absolutely a must read for current and future dog owners alike! We have enjoyed other books about Porter and Midge and this is no exception. Both of my kiddos and I enjoyed this wonderful book about the importance of training and socializing puppies. It is especially helpful for my youngest who has a harder time understanding animal needs, and I feel like it assisted him in seeing the bigger picture. The illustrations are not only gorgeous and incredibly detailed, but they do add so much more to the story for readers both young and old. I feel like this would be a marvelous addition to a library, your home, and adoption shelters!

This is a new to me author. I would definitely recommend this book to parents who’s children are wanting a pet. There is a lot of information in this book, I like how it moved right along . It can show children all the little things involved with pet ownership. The illustrations were amazing and the story was insightful.

This is a cute little story. I really like this series because it is full of interesting tidbits that help children learn about how to take care of their pets. Porter and Midge have a great deal of fun learning how to behave around noise and crowds of people in this latest book. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in getting a pet for their children as it will help prepare them for the responsibility involved in having a pet and how to take care of them properly.

This is an adorably illustrated book that provides information on dog owner responsibilities at the level of understanding perfect for small children. Older readers can also gain information from this book too. It follows CJ and Lora along with their puppies, Porter and Midge, as they train for the Independence Day Parade. The children need to teach their pups to reamin calm when around new places, new people, and all sorts of new noises. As they go about getting their puppies ready it provides educational information for owning a puppy. It also comes with a check list and real-life adventure ideas to try out.

This is a wonderful series. Teaching kids all about dogs and the different types, sizes, shapes, temperaments, and all the things. It is wonderful to a book teaching the kids all about the hard work, dedication and patience it takes to keep your pets happy and healthy. Wonderfully illustrated and educational as well as fun.

This book is part of a series, but can be read as a standalone. This is a great book for young children who have pets or are a part of a family that is thinking about getting a pet. In this book, CJ and Lora are set to participate in a parade for the 4th of July. They want to bring their dogs, Porter and Midge, respectively, with them for the parade. They are then told all of the things that a dog needs to be able to do, such as not being distracted by new things, not barking excessively, and sitting and behaving well, as well as about the vaccinations that need to be done in order for their dogs to be able to participate. CJ and Lora train their dogs and work to be able to include them in the parade. The illustrations are great, and the book includes a check list of things to help children with training their dogs as well.

Porter and Midge are excited! They’ve heard all about an upcoming parade with fireworks but they also know that they aren’t quite ready to go out and enjoy them all just yet. Their owners have a few responsibilities to meet with them before the big day. Porter and Midge learn all about treats and how to earn them. They also learn that going to the vet isn’t so bad either. Finally, the topic of pet vaccinations is covered too! Now they are ready for the big, fun Fourth of July event!
Such a cute book that can guide a new pet owner through some steps they should take. This is a fictional story that has great tips and tools but as always, consult with a professional on matters that are concerning.

The Porter and Midge books are always a great book to pick up to read with kids. They touch on important information about owning pets. This one is about learning that it is important to train puppies. Socializing dogs before you take them out and about is key to having a great adventure with your dog. This book talks about that in a way that is both fun and informative. I love that it includes extras at the end that can be very helpful to kids when they have their own dog to train.

This cute short kid’s story is all about puppies and how much they need training and guidance and sometimes it’s not always as easy as it seems. This book was a very well-done book on teaching children on how to care and trin for a puppy. And that puppies need tons of attention and a lot of socialization, training, and patience. This story was very informative in all thing’s puppies, and my kids really enjoyed this book, but of course they also love dogs. Highly recommend this book especially if you have small children and are thinking about getting a puppy.

My son has had issues with dogs but recently has asked us if he can get his own dog. We’ve loved all of these books to help him learn about being a dog owner. This one teaches you how to introduce your dog to new smells, people and sounds so they are not afraid and barking all the time. This is must read if you have kids and are interested in getting your first family dog!

The Puppy Adventures of Porter and Midge: Out and About is a fun and very educational children’s book full of colorful illustrations. Teaching along the way, Lora and CJ would like to include their puppies Porter and Midge in their local parade. Having a new puppy is a lot of responsibility and knowing everything from playtime to manners…keeping the puppies calm if they are afraid…so much learning when trying to teach a new puppy including patience. Lora and CJ learn so much along the way and Porter and Midge are wonderful.
This story is a great book to learn everything about training a new furry family member…not only can children learn but even adults as well…..I love all the fun and educational value of this story.

A cute story I read to my granddaughter, She seemed to really enjoy it.
It teaches children that their dogs need guidance just like they do. If you want the dog to react a certain way in situations you need to train them to do that. By training them they know what you expect of them and will react accordingly.

The Puppy Adventures of Porter and Midge: Out and About is a children’s book by Jennie Chen and Giselle Nevada. It is part of their Porter and Midge Children’s Book Series. Lorna and CJ are learning how to keep Porter and Midge safe in this book. They learn what to do for the dogs until their final vaccinations. They also learn what to do to keep the dogs as well as others safe when they are out and about. This is a very helpful guide for old and new pet owners. The book is easy to read. The instructions are given in a fun story but are easy to follow. The illustrations are clear and fun. This is another must-have pet care book.

This is another delightful book following the adventures of Porter and Midge. This time, they need to learn basic training to take part in a parade. As usual, this book takes an important, educational matter relating to dogs and teaches it to children in a fun and entertaining way. Both of my kids loved learning about what is involved in training dogs, and everything they need to learn. The illustrations fit perfectly with the story being told and really help to bring it to life. Each book in this series is just as good as the last and we definitely enjoyed this on in our household.

Out and About is another Porter and Midge story, that I read with my 8 year old. He loves dogs and enjoys reading these stories about him. The dogs owners, Lora and CJ want to take their dogs to a 4th of July parade. But, before they can do that, they need to give the dogs some more training, so they are prepared. The dogs need to learn to remain calm around new people, places, noises and smells. The kids do a great job training their dogs, and giving them toooons of treats. But, their hard work paid off, and they all got to enjoy the parade. The timing of us reading this book was perfect, as we are 4 days off from the 4th of July and attending our own parade. Luckily, we aren’t taking our dog, but with the help of this book, my son knows what to do to prepare for next year.

The Puppy Adventures of Porter and Midge: Out and About (Porter and Midge Children’s Book Series) by Jennie Chen and Giselle Nevada. This series is such a good series about dogs and how responsible owners need to learn how to train their pups. Its all done a level that kids can understand. The pictures are really illustrated well and my 6 year old nephew loved it. CJ and Lora want their dog to be in the local 4th of July parade but because they are puppies and not trained they will have to learn some stuff before they can ride in the parade. Learning ways to train their pups actually works out to be fun for the kids and they have a good time while learning something. These books are so good because not only do kids love them they also learn something from them.

Out and About was a very informative, entertaining, and engaging children’s book. The author introduced the pups, explained that they needed proper training, and proper care, then had their kids/owners put them in many situations to show what a benefit all of it was. The information was presented in a friendly, easy to understand way, and would be a great starting point for any kiddos thinking about getting a dog.

CJ and Lora are doing such a great job at taking care of and training Porter and Midge. They are both so well behaved during their outings. I love that this book shows the importance of getting dogs their vaccinations, and how to try and keep them from being stressed at the vet. In this book they get to meet many new animals and people while preparing to be in the Independence Day parade. The end is so cute with both Porter and Midge just passed out due to having such a long and eventful day, sleepy dogs are the sweetest.

In the book it shows how CJ and Lora are trying to be responsible pet owners and it does a great job at that. Helping children understand that there is more to owning a dog than just playing with them is wonderful! The fact that the story shows CJ and Lora taking Porter and Midge to the vet and socializing them and getting both dogs comfortable in any environment or situation is amazing. Involving children at a young age in caring, teaching and sharing responsibility for a pet is a great thing. The checklist at the end of the book is a great resource for children to use and can see how much they have achieved in the training journey from when they first started with the puppy training.

The Puppy Adventures of Porter and Midge: Out and About is the first book in the Porter and Midge Series by Jennie Chen & Giselle Nevada. I have come into the series a little backwards, starting on Book #4 and working my way back. Luckily each book in the series can be read as a standalone, as each one contains its own ‘adventure’/lessons. I could tell right away that this is the first book in the series as it is a lot ‘busier’, ‘wordier’, and a bit of an ‘information’ and image overload. There was so much going on in each illustration, with so many smaller more ‘intricate’ details- as well as the ‘wordier’ story printed over the illustrations- making for a bit of a ‘cluttered’, chaotic look and feel. While the information contained in the story was interesting, and helpful for people wanting to train/socialize the new fur-members of their family (vet checks, vaccinations, socialization, training, instilling confidence, building resilience etc)- unfortunately most of that was lost amongst all the ‘clutter’. And while the illustrations were neat- they don’t have the same cute and engaging quality of the later books (Books #2 – #5- and although Book #5 isn’t out yet I had a look at the cover, and it has the same ‘cute’ illustrations that we love). The illustrations that do accompany this instalment, I feel, don’t help to reinforce the ‘lessons’ in the book, or really ‘engage’ the reader. They are well-drawn and somewhat colourful, but because there is so much going on in them, with so much ‘detailing’ it felt more like a ‘Where’s Waldo/Where’s Wally’ puzzle book than a children’s puppy adventure story. I hope I am making sense here…. This instalment also lacks the great ‘rhyming rhythm’ of the storytelling in the other books, which makes them so much more engaging and enjoyable than this one. I Thought that it might just be my opinion, but when I tried reading the story to my grandchildren (aged between 3years and 8 years), which I have done with all the other books in the series (and they have loved)- they didn’t even make it to the second page before they lost interest with this one, and started talking over the story, wondering why Porter, Midge, CJ, and Lora didn’t ‘look’ the same as the other books. That’s all they seemed to focus on… Looking forward to getting back to the ‘Porter and Midge’ style we love- with ‘Paws and Pastries’ (Porter and Midge: Paws and Pastries: A Kid’s Guide to Homemade Dog Treats – Book #5). Happy Reading…

The Puppy Adventures of Porter and Midge: Out and About is a great way for kids to learn about animal care and their welfare when out and about in the public or just learning basic needs in everyday life. This fun and engaging story has beautiful illustrations that help kids see what is being narrated and gives them a better appreciation of the story. Giselle and Jennie also provide a checklist to use if you so choose on things to do and where you can take you puppies to help them on the right track to being their best selves.

Nevada and Chen have gone above and beyond AGAIN in this book to show what it takes to raise and train puppies. I cannot say enough about these two authors and how much research and time they put into their books to show not only kids but adults as well what is needed when deciding whether or not to get a pet. This installment focuses on the socialization aspect of pet ownership and the ups and downs of it and what you can do as a responsible pet owner. I love how thorough they are and the illustrations are phenomenal. They also do a fantastic job of weaving a story in as well. Reviewed by @meggs1717

This was quite the adventure. My grandson and I read this. He had a lot of questions about why they were training, etc. We love these stories. They are fun and they teach so much information. The pictures will gain your child’s attention. I really enjoyed how the story incorporated real challenges into the story and made them seem like normal events and how they were handled. A wonder addition for dog families.
