The Critter Club: Amy and the Missing Puppy
Which Readers: Kindergarten and up
A group of four fun friends become critter detectives in this early chapter book series written by Callie Barkley and illustrated by Marsha Riti. In Amy and the Missing Puppy, Amy and friends go on the hunt for cute little Rufus, a St. Bernard puppy with a mind of his own. Along the way, they find that old Mrs. Sullivan might not be as grumpy as she seems, and four little girls might be able to make a big difference.
This is a wonderful early chapter book for those kindergarteners who want to read "chapter books," but still don't have big chapter book stamina. The print is large, the spacing is wide, and there are charming illustrations on every page. The story is sweet, simple, and engaging. It reads like a longer book than it actually is.
Simon and Schuster has a page devoted to this series that includes a fun trailer, downloadable activities, and an excerpt from the book. There are several more titles in this series coming out later this year.
