Rooster, a handsome Golden Retriever who loves belly rubs and bacon, and Squid, a mangy grey cat who loves big naps and butt scratches, are an unlikely duo. Even though their early days were spent scrounging for food and seeking shelter, they knew they were meant for more. As luck would have it, they were rescued by the town veterinarian and welcomed into the best family ever.

Life with their new family is never boring. In Bowling Burglar, a family picnic in the backyard is interrupted by breaking glass and a scream from next door. As the mystery unfolds, Rooster and Squid are smack dab in the middle of the chaos.

My Review...

Really cute for young kids to read. What I saw suggested ages 6 to 12. However, this is such a cute book I think any child would enjoy having it read to them.

Rooster and Squid, the somewhat pampered and very loved pets, tell the story of their human family. They have 2 doctors in the family, one happens to be their kind of doctor, and the other a doctor for a small family of little, teeny, pesky kid type humans.

I know saying it’s just so cute is not an eloquent description, but it is the truth. It has humor. It’s well written and flows very smoothly which is why I think reading aloud would be good too. It is also very clear. You have family pets, children, adults, and pets that don’t feel so good visiting the vet office. Never once was I confused about “who was whom” so to speak. Pretty difficult task to do, but the author accomplished it. I hate to harp on the “read-aloud” suggestions but because it was so clear is just another reason to read with your younger children, grandchildren, and so forth. Most of all, enjoy.
