Genre: Children's Picture Book
Source: I received a copy from the author to help facilitate my review. The opinions expressed here are my own.

Rover lived with a wonderful family. they had taught him so much. He fixed their breakfast, helped them get dressed and out the dor for work and school.  One day they decided to take a vacaton to Bermuda.  Rover had to stay behind.  Mrs. Rhone found the cheapest dog hotel she could find. Finally the family left him to get to the dog hotel on their own.  Rover found life completely different at the dog hotel.  He was having a wonderful time.  He met a lovely female dog.  The Rhone family were not having as much fun on their vacation.  Without Rover around to do things for them, things began to fall apart. The children insisted they return home immediately to see their dog Rover.  The parents realized their vacation was ruined and had no choice but to return.  The children missed Rover so much.  The question is, did rover miss them? Another great book by Uncle Amos.


Dog's Coffee Shop by Uncle Amos and Edith Ordan
Genre: Children's Picture Book

This was a very creative look at role reversal. Instead of people getting together to talk about their pets, dogs gather at a cafe to discuss their humans. Mr. Golden Retriever talks about how trained his humans are. Mrs. Collie sees her job of guarding the family as more important than going to the park. Mr. Akita's owner ties him us and fees him kibble.  He has been working hard to train his human. He sees it as a work in progress. When Miss Dachshund declares she has no owners, because they moved and left her behind, the dog club decides to hel pher find a home. you must read this book to find out if they were successful. Any child reading this book will be able to visualize the dogs as almost human. This is another must read book from Uncle Amos.
