|
Ages 3-8 Uh oh. The gate is open and Tulip, a small dachshund puppy, spots a butterfly outside and runs after it. Stella, Tulip's mom, sees her pup run out of the yard and goes after her. In a moment they are lost. So begins their adventure. They meet Cooper, a wise pug who puts them on the path to find Shona, the rescue lady. Sammy, an Irish wolfhound who is homeless, joins the group. Later they meet Kate, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who was once held in a puppy mill where she was caged and not allowed to set foot on the ground. A compassionate story that touches on abandoned pets, puppy farms, the value of microchipping, and shows animals' love for one another, Stella and Tulip is as heartwarming as it is entertaining. Reviews “Stella and Tulip: A
Home for Us is a heartwarming story about a mother and daughter pair of
dachshunds who become lost, meet new friends, and finally meet a dog rescue
lady who helps find them a good new home. Along the way, Tulip meets a Cavalier
King Charles Spaniel who does not know how to play because she was kept in a
cage in a puppy mill. A nice lady named Shona runs the Dog Rescue home where
Stella and Tulip are taken by their friend, Cooper, a helpful bulldog. Stella
and Tulip also meet Sammy, an Irish wolfhound who is abandoned by his family
because they had to move to an apartment that would not accept dogs. All ends
well when Stella and Tulip are adopted by a new family, but there is
significant educating about the issues of pet abandonment and homelessness for
dogs in Stella and Tulip: A Home for Us. Charming, colorful
illustrations make Stella and Tulip a great choice for young readers
ages 3-8.” –The Midwest Book Review
