I would like to share a new children’s book I received called Dog & The Hat and the Lost Polka Dot in exchange for this review.
Thank the Lord Charlie was home to read this new book with me because of all the illustrations and some of the pages being dark it was hard for me to read. But not Charlie who is used to Graphic Novels and Comic Books. Charlie loved the book so much he has shared the story with all of his friends in the neighborhood.
Charlie even looked up the Author and found out there is two books in this series and has asked if I will pick up that book for him when we go to the Book Store this week. I just hope I can find it because when Charlie is willing to read, I want to make sure he has the books he ask for.
I asked Charlie what he thought of Dog & Hat and Charlie said he liked their friendship and how well they work together. Charlie liked finding out they will do anything they need to do to find things that are missing and will not give up no, matter what and nothing scares them.
Charlie and I had fun discussing the book and what might happen in the future as well as drawing more pictures of Dog & Hat. We changed the Polka Dots to other shapes and colors leading us to use our own creations and to create new stories to read to my niece and nephew.
