This was a lot of fun to read. Cute idea and colorful, fun illustrations. I must admit to having to go back and reread after finding myself paying more attention to the expressions on the dog's face -- real name Huey Lewis -- than some of the other details. Not that I minded as it was just as much fun the second time. Children should love the story and the imaginative illustrations, from the not-so-ferocious fluffy monster to the, let's call them ice cream driven super team.
Even better, while being entertained, they'll be learning how collaboration works and ways to to resolve disagreements, big or small...and remain good friends at the end. In a school setting, I foresee teachers encouraging some partnerships to create their own picture books, too. Lots of humor but, hey, be prepared for them to have a sudden yen for ice cream as they read. Also, enjoy the real life pictures at the end, including of the real Huey Lewis, and note that they really do seem to enjoy their ice cream. Thanks #NetGalley and #Capstone for sharing this early and, yes, making me think maybe I need an ice cream cone, too. Fun read!
