Book Reviews of Moondog
Book Review: Moondog - good story for Halloween or during a full moon!
Summary: 5 Stars
One night a basket was left on the porch of the McKenzie family. The next morning brother and sister Michael and Hazel woke up to find their front yard had been destroyed... the flower bed had been trampled, their trees looked like toothpicks and their front porch steps had been chewed. And on the porch is a basket and inside is the cutest little puppy. Michael and Hazel had always wanted a dog and convince their parents to keep the puppy they named Angel. He was a perfect angel of a dog, easy to train, came when called and never chewed anything... until when the moon was full. That night there came such a racket that woke up Michael and Hazel ran to the kitchen. The kitchen was a mess and Angel was gone! On the floor was Angel's paw prints in some spilled flour. So Michael and Hazel followed the paw prints outside and to Miss Eleanor Mingle's house which was scary looking. No one had ever been brave enough to walk up to Miss Mingle's home. The only thing scarier than Miss Mingle was her dog Bunny. Bunny was big, shaggy and had big teeth! Michael and Hazel peeked in Miss Mingle's window and there was Angel and Bunny.
I don't want to ruin the end of the story for you, so I'll stop here. It does have a happy ending for both Angel and Miss Mingle! Cute story and for me this is one of the 1st books illustrated by Yumi Heo that I actually like. For me he just doesn't draw nice Asian faces.
This would be a good story for Halloween or for during a full moon!
