Book #5: Pip Comes Home

 


Dog Tails: Pip Comes Home

Gwen Davies

 Released: May 11th, 2022

[Blogger’s Note: I originally read this back in 2022, and just updated for the current blog format.  Enjoy!]

My 5th book for 2022 was Gwen Davies’ “Dog Tails: Pip Comes Home".  

One of my friends is an author, and once I heard that she had written a book, I had to check it out.

When I talked to her, she would tell me all sorts of stories about Pip and the excitement he causes in her life.  It’s precious.

This book is about how her dog came to be with his owners. (Art imitates life). It is brief but a good short book for younger readers.

The book is available on the Kindle, or for a physical copy, you can purchase one here: https://a.co/d/aqMoo65

Here is what I learned:

—————

  • Pip has wanted a home and a family since he was a pup.
  • Pip is from Ohio.
  • Carol was Pip’s foster mom.
  • “Looking for a good family: a young dog named Pip.”
  • Gwen and Shawn live in Buffalo.
  • Pip travels to his new home in a van.
  • Pip now lives in New York.

—————

Overall, it is a cute little short story.  It introduces younger readers to pet adoption and shows how animals can be rescued into loving homes.

Recommended, especially for younger readers and animal lovers.

Book #95: Clue #12: The Haunted Gargoyle by A.E. Parker

  Clue #12: The Haunted Gargoyle A.E. Parker   Released: March 1st, 1996 My 25th book for 2025 was A.E. Parker's “Clue #12: The Haunted Gargoyle”.   General Summary: Here's something I'll bet you didn't know, there were a series of books written back in the mid-1990's about the Parker Brother's game Clue.  I grew up loving the Clue books.  They were set up in a similar manner to Encyclopedia Brown.  You would have an introduction where Mr. Boddy would introduce himself and welcome you to the mansion.  With the exception of the first book, he would typically explain how he survived death in the previous book.  He would then go on to introduce each of the 6 guests (including his maid).  Usually this would segway into the first chapter by a loud crashing noise, or some other startling interruption.  Readers are treated to 10-13 mysteries per book, and each chapter was a different story.  At the end of each chapter, you were given ...

Book #111: Ferris Bueller's Day Off by Todd Strausser

  Ferris Bueller's Day Off Todd Strasser   Released: July 1st, 1986 My 41st book for 2025 was Todd Strasser’s "Ferris Bueller’s Day Off".   I'm really enjoying these Todd Strasser novelizations as he has brought some of my favorite films to literature form.  I've read the Home Alone series, and it continues with Ferris Bueller here. Ferris Bueller is one of my favorite movies ever.  I remember as a kid seeing it for the first time.  I was disappointed at first.  My father often quoted Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High , and I was hoping we could rent it from Blockbuster Video.  Unfortunately, it is Rated R, and at an age a bit too young, they decided against it, and opted for Ferris Bueller instead.  Worthy alternative. Ferris Bueller is on his 9th sick day.  He’s trying to graduate, but doesn’t want to waste a perfectly good day in the halls of the high school.  Dragging along his best friend, and busting his girl...
