Guinea Dog by Patrick Jennings

3.0

This book is exactly what you think it is going to be when you read the title. However, that didn't make it anything less than what it should've been. This is a very quick read for us adults and I did find myself smiling and actually laughing out loud when I was reading the story. It moves quickly and it's adorable, you fall in love with the characters and Fido and just want to be in their world. The main character is a fifth grade boy and as a fifth grade teacher, I think Jennings NAILED the persona of fifth grade boys. The characters in this book were the kids in my class, I knew who each one was. I know my students are going to love reading this book and a few of them I believe will really connect with the characters!
