My Review

Crash! by Mayra Calvani


Illustrations by Anna Pylypchuk


ISBN 978-1-933090-54-2 Softcover, 21 pages.
Guardian Angel Publishing


Crash! is the story of Marcelo, who receives a puppy on his 5th birthday. He has to figure out a good name for his new puppy.
The book is really a good learning book as it talks about the responsibilities of owning a puppy.


The illustrations are great. They are on one side of the page and words on the page next to it. Ten pictures in all.

I waited to write this review until after I read the book to 3 of my grandchildren last night as their bedtime reading. They thought it was really good and will want to read it again. They really enjoyed the pictures as I read.


At the back of the book it tells about the author and lists places to find her online.
It also gives the artist bio. I was surprised the illustrator is only 16 years old.

    I haven't heard about the author but the story sounds interesting. I'm curious about little Marcelo. Lovely lens! Hey - if you've got the time, try this great exercise from Margaret Lynch that could open the door to more Abundance - in minutes. Change is a choice: Tap along with a free demo and video and see if this works for you. Thanks! Sundae ;-)

    No, I've not read anything by this author -- yet! I have my eye on "The Slippery Art of Book Reviewing". I'm so glad you shared Mayra's Gather link, too, thank you.

    I been thinking about doing some children book reviews, I read enough of them to my granddaughter. - At http://www.squidoo.com/susielehto there is a Christmas present under the tree for you at the bottom of the lens. I will make something different for WWJD for Kidz if you would like something else. Just let me know, that's not a problem.
