Quick Review:

This is another great animal themed middle grade novel to add to your child's shelf! I remember reading this series way back in my youngling days, but it's been a while and I found a copy - so review time! Piper is a four month old Bernese Mountain Dog (one of my faves!) and the girls Kat, Maya and Grace have to help train her for her first puppy show! But along the way, it won't be easy and there will be distractions!

This is a great, fun, fast read for animals lovers. It's super adorable and everything I expected from a middle grade read.

I really like this book. It s super cool. You should read it.
