5.0 out of 5 starsPrepare Your Heart to Melt!

From the Author:

Beasley goes on an unexpected journey. He meets many friends along the way. Will he make it to his destination? Come along to find out!! (One dollar of each book sold, goes to animals in need.)

From Mrs. D:

If dogs could read, they would love this book! This is a story about a courageous dog and his determination to find his family. Beasley happily lives with his family in the city, but one day everything changes. The family moves to the countryside, and in all the commotion, their dog is left behind. The shrewd, daring, and determined dog starts looking for his family. On his way to the countryside, Beasley meets adventures aplenty. He makes new friends with all kinds of animals, who are willing to help, but sadly cannot. However, it doesn’t stop brave Beasley.

Through the dog’s adventures, young readers learn about nature and its inhabitants and where they live. Beasley is an extraordinary dog that never gives up, and this is a lesson that young readers must learn early in life. Never, never, never give up! No matter how hard and scary it is—always move ahead!

The striking illustrations give an appealing look to this beautiful book. Rosie Russell invites children to look for some shrewd accompaniments and clues. She makes sure that the story gives parents and children plenty of room for discussion about what to do if they are ever in a similar situation. It is a very educational book that teaches important lessons and manners, and most importantly it shows children how to survive when things look really dark, when to ask for help, and how to be kind to others around you. The story also highlights the importance of loyalty and the meaning of family, and the bold illustrations capture that well. It is a sweet and gentle story, sad in some places, but it conveys the feeling that the uncertainty of Beasley’s voyage will come to a happy ending. There will be a lot of cheers and joyful sighs at the end of this story!

I like that Rosie Russell donates a portion of the sales of this book to animals in need. So BUY this book to save another Beasley!
