Roxie Loves Adventure
Kirkus Reviews
Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
Adventures are stressful. Someone bring Roxie a treat. Roxie, a pampered pug enthroned in a house replete with all things ruffled, frilly, and pink, is a bit spoiled. Her happy (and slightly gassy) life is filled with the finest things, from doggie treats served on silver dishes to the most indulgent grooming routines. When a necessary trip to the bushes outside in the middle of the night accidentally leaves her locked out, Roxie finds herself on an adventure to return to her rosy paradise. Sure, the stakes are relatively low, and Roxie's dilemma falls squarely into the category of "First World (Dog) Problems," but the rhyming text and the amusing illustrations diligently work in tandem to carry the middling plot. Pug owners and pug enthusiasts will laugh hardest at the adorable poses and faces Roxie makes as she struggles to get back inside, but even cat lovers will chuckle at this pup's antics. The fluffy pink mixed-media illustrations will STRONGLY appeal to fans of all things pink and princess-y but may make the story a slightly harder sell to others. Librarians and storytellers will be able to make the most of the tale, however, and Roxie is bound to win over just about everyone once the tale starts. (This book was reviewed digitally.) A frilly pink delight. (Picture book. 6-8) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
