Kids enjoyed this tremendously. "We liked it. We liked seeing the dogs work together with horses too." This is similar to reading a story to a child with dogs acting out the story. "It was really funny how Abby thought her toys were real and then they came to life." "I really liked the story. The woman (narrator) told me what the dogs were doing." "They were nice and helped each other." "My friends would like it because I liked it." They loved Abbygail. "Because she is so little, can run fast, jump high and swim." One five-year-old retold pieces of the story for 20 minutes after it was over. He was very excited and upbeat in the end and wanted to talk about everything he saw.
Cute dog tale, no pun intended. The story is well structured and has a lot of positive messages. Each character is introduced so you get to know something about their personalities. The dog's adventures are fun. The content is very age appropriate - showing how you can dream of adventures and your dreams may come true. It also shows how we are all unique and everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. The only drawback is that the narration is very monotonous. This bothered adult jurors but not kids. This story addresses believing in your dreams, helping your friends and not doing dangerous things without proper safety equipment. If you love dogs, you'll love this. Presents "stranger danger" in a new, non-scary way.
One day while home alone, a cute and very curious little Jack Russell Terrier named Abbygail uncovers a fortune cookie that magically brings all her stuffed animals and toys to life. They embark on an adventure of fun, safety and new friendships.
