Daniel, The Golden Retriever, by Tammy Tomlinson (Feiwel and Friends, 2022, ages 4-8, 32pp, $18.99) Review by Skye Anderson)
Golden Retrievers are the friendliest of dogs and Daniel is no exception!
Daniel is based on a true story, the true story of a very good boy who loves making new friends (especially the little ones) plus all the spoiling he gets ("fluffed, brushed, and watered") at dog shows. This is the story of taking one such trip to a dog show in New York City (in 2020) because he is a champion and is vying to become the all-around champion.
Daniel glides, stands, stays, trots, and poses along with six other breed representatives but will he win?
With lovely colorful illustrations by Kiersten Egan, Daniel will capture your heart with his joy, whether he wins or not. "Dog shows are fun, but being home is even better."
Bonus: the final two pages depict the characteristics of goldens and their favorite jobs.
