A review by panda_incognito
Doggo and Pupper by Katherine Applegate

2.0

This fully illustrated book is designed for kids who are moving beyond easy readers and preparing for chapter books. I anticipate that this will meet its target audience's needs, but I personally did not like it. The story goes nowhere, many of the pages feel like filler, and the dogs' behavior varies between reality and fantasy in inconsistent ways. At times, the dogs act like normal household pets, but they also behave in fantastical ways, walking on two legs or driving a car. The inconsistency and apparent randomness behind this bothered me, because it didn't seem like a coherent, thought-out story world.
