Advantages: Great read, good plots, good characters, realistic adventures Disadvantages: None
...were delighted to discover that Puppy Patrol is a series of books. They are written by the brilliant author Jenny Dale. She writes for children but does not talk down to them. Children appreciate this. She doesn't use silly names or talking animals either. Her books have good plots, excellent characters and there is generally a moral or two as well.

Advantages: Big or small. Pedigree or mutt, Neil and Emily Parker love them all. Disadvantages: You'll want them all.
I've never read a better series. You just want to be there with them. They're the parents you never had. The brother and sisters you always wanted. The adventures you'd love to take part in.

You fall in love. You read the next. And you've never been happier. Series ...
