My Review:
I loved the illustrations in this story because they really brought the words to life. I think most children love dogs, at least mine do, and the imagination is definitely sparked with this one. I love the message that this story shares--it's okay to be different and to try new things, things that are different from what those around you might be doing. Sometimes our courage might be tested, but persistence and trust can help one overcome fears.
Author Adam Glendon Sidwell:In between books, Adam Glendon Sidwell uses the power of computers to make monsters, robots and zombies come to life for blockbuster movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean, King Kong, Pacific Rim, Transformers and Tron. After spending countless hours in front of a keyboard meticulously adjusting tentacles, calibrating hydraulics, and brushing monkey fur, he is delighted at the prospect of modifying his creations with the flick of a few deftly placed adjectives. He really enjoyed writing 81,854 less words in his new picture book FETCH than he wrote in his first EVERTASTER novel, and hopes that you will like the ones he picked. Besides, FETCH has pictures.
Adam has also been rightfully accused of writing the upcoming novel CHUM.
