Spunky Tells All

Spunky Tells All
by Ann Cameron

Spunky has life made!  His humans take him on walks, they feed feed him
his favorite Nibbles and he gets to sleep with his boy, Huey, in the Blanket Cave.
Everything changes when Spunky's family decides to adopt a foolish cat named
Fiona, to keep Spunky company. 

Suddenly Spunky is learning what it means to share his space with an animal who
doesn't live in the same way.  Do they have what it takes to become friends?

As an animal lover, I enjoyed Spunky's narrator voice.  You learn on the first page, "The most important thing is this: they love me and I love them.  That's the best thing.  Then there's the sad part, the sometimes tragic misunderstandings.  My language is Dog. They don't understand my language..." But soon you learn what they do and don't understand through Huey and if you have your own dog, you may begin to wonder what their 'voice' may be thinking or sound like.  I know I did! 

Written for young to middle readers, this would also work for reluctant readers or animal lovers of any age.
