The Life of Corgnelius and Stumphrey: The Cutest Corgis in the World

by Susie Brooks

Corgnelius was living the good life with his owners in sunny Los Angeles—he was happy, healthy, likely the cutest corgi known to man and was the star of his own blog.

Then along came Stumphrey, a corgi puppy and Corgnelius's new brother. After a short-lived rough beginning, the two learned to share the spotlight and the blog became a sensation. Known for their fashion-forward style sense and love of adventure, Corgnelius and Stumphrey share their trials and tribulations as they navigate the great wide world, being extremely adorable wherever they go.

I was lucky enough to win an advanced copy of this book from GoodReads, which absolutely made my day! I'm a fan of Corgnelius and Stumphrey on social media, so I was looking forward to this book and it did not disappoint. I kind of expected it to be just photos, but this book had them form a story. The story is comical throughout, but it also throws in a good message. The photos and captions had me smiling and 'awwing' the entire time.

My only criticism is that the statement "the cutest Corgis in the world" is false. My Corgi, Ribbon, is number one in that field! Corgnelius and Stumphrey definitely come in second, though. ;)

I definitely recommend this book and will be reading it to my nephews ASAP!

Too cute! I have a Corgi named Samson and I don't think he would have been quite so nice to the new boy puppy. He's very protective of his mom. He even barks when the one cat hisses. He does get along fairly well with his sister (a lab/basset) mix fairly well.

Very cute book! I love the pictures! When I got this, I started reading it to my 10 year old and it didn't take long for my 14 and 19 year old kids to sit down and listen, too (not to mention my husband)! Even though it's not listed as a children's book, I think that kids will really enjoy it as much as adults. It's for anyone who loves dogs!

I received this book through goodreads first reads. :)
I really enjoyed this book! The photos in it were so adorable and I love how much personality the pups have! It not only tells the story of 2 cute dogs, but in a doggy sense, helps in accepting the addition of a new family member. It may not be that bad after all having a new sibling. I think it's a great story for kids and adults too!

I absolutely love this book. I had been eyeing it at target for quite some time and finally decided to buy it this past weekend. I read the whole thing after a very stressful day at work. The book definitely put a big smile on my face. I love this type of dog and seeing these two together just made my day.

Best book ever! Featuring pictures of corgis from cover to cover, the two most famous in the world: Corgnelius and Stumphrey. Would give it six stars if I could, best book of 2014.

TLDR: A+, 11/10, would read again!

Adorably captures visual quirks specific to corgis (head tilts, frozen stares, stumps, and so on), as well as the humor of dog-to-dog relations ("food actually tastes better when someone else wants it").

Cute book. Cute dogs. Cute pictures. But a five-minute read. For $13, I wanted a bit more.

Get it from the library. Or read it quick while browsing at your favorite book store. Or buy it used, maybe.

Super cute story! Would be fun for the toddler (or older) who has a new younger sibling.

I received this book through a Goodreads First Reads giveaway.

I LOVE corgis! The pictures in this books were so cute, and the little story of Corgnelius getting to know his little brother Stumphrey was heartwarming.
