Homestead Friends: Trapper Loves His Daddy! by Shelli Levi

   





    Homestead Friends: Trapper Loves His Daddy! by Shelli Levi is an adorable book for kids about a young pup named Trapper, who adores his dad, Big Bo. There are several pages that discuss his traits and which ones are similar to each of his parents. Trapper is fast like his mom Leaping Leah, and lazy in the sun like his dad.
   It's a really cute book with beautiful illustrations. In fact, when receiving this book in the mail, both of my kids made sure to let me know that they really loved the artwork. My youngest son, he is seven, and just starting to read, enjoyed the book the most, and read several sentences all by himself. This of course made me so happy, and proud, and it really pushed him over that edge to him realizing he can read stuff, all on his own. My oldest son, who is 10, enjoyed the book but less than my youngest. He said it was a good story, but that he thinks it needs more action. I thought that was pretty funny. I have to admit that the story did lack in the action department, but that just wasn't needed for this book. I have read this story a few times now, well, had it read to me (courtesy of a 7 year old), and it really is just a nice, beautifully illustrated book, that doesn't lose it's charm, no matter how many times you read it.

 Thank you book crash for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
