Book Review: Buddy's Magic Window (a little dog's BIG adventure)

Buddy's Magic Window, by Dennis Glennon (Dennis Glennon Photography, 2020, 48 pages, $19.95)

The face that launched a thousand ships, the pup that launched a thousand books (or book reviews!). . . .

Buddy's Magic Window is a big big, book for little, little kids to hold while they 'read' to their moms and dads, and a book that you will love more and more each time you read it. 

Kids love puppies and will love the young moose pair and the loon baby with its mom and dad, and, of course, the adventures of Puppy Buddy. Parents will love the colors and the striking photography. 

Dennis Glennon, the author, is a professional wildlife photographer who happened upon a litter of golden pups quite by chance* and then . . .  a golden portrait morphed into a cherished book of our family's (and yours).

What is cuter than a golden retriever puppy on the cover of a children's book! Buddy, the pup, is so adorable that all the wee ones will want to hug him (a teaching moment about what dogs like and don't - most do not like hugs). The story is so lifelike with real nature photography and simply perfect colors. . . .

The Wizard of Oz Revisited (Almost)

The cutest little pup in the world is afraid of thunderstorms and so he runs, trying to escape the scary noise, right into the 'foggy forest.'

Read about Buddy's adventures, his return home, the tales he will tell of his adventures and the animals who meet him along the way: the butterfly, the turtle and frog, loons and a duck, the fox, a chipmunk and a herd of cows, a bluebird and an owl whose words lead Buddy to a barn with a magic window. . . .

And little kids will see themselves in little Buddy who doesn't know his left from his right. 

A Tale of Trust, and Belief, and Faith - and Dreams

A tale of wishes and dreams and never giving up. There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home. . . .

And I love the dedication: "For those who rescue animals."

Caveat: This book was sent to DogEvals for review.
