I’m excited to be reviewing this children’s book today! Zinger in the Woods is a very sweet story. You can find more information about the tour and the authors (including an interview) over on The Muffin. Plus, there’s a giveaway!
Synopsis
Olive is searching for her missing dog Ginger, but the dog has fallen into a hole and is trapped. Along comes Zen, a homeless dog who helps free Ginger. Together, they make their way back to Olive.
Review
I love the illustrations in this book. They just look really pretty and fun, and I think they’d be compelling for the age group this book is meant for. I’d say the target age is around 7-8, but even my 2-year-old liked listening to this story. And of course, it has dogs in it, so she was smitten right away!
I like that the book is split into chapters so early readers can take breaks. I also like the message of the story, about friendship and exploring and being kind. I thought finding the word “amazeballs” in there was funny. Do kids still say that? Hahaha.
Overall this is a very sweet story that I’d recommend reading!
