Astrid and Apollo and the Puppy Surprise by V.T. Bidania, Dara Lashia Lee

4.0

Thank you to NetGalley and Publishers for letting me read this book.

Astrid and Apollo are twins. Their parents came from Laos as children. Both Astrid and Apollo love to get each other birthday presents and make them surprises. Throughout the book we hear about Astrid making her surprise for Apollo but, we never hear about Apollo’s surprise. I enjoyed this children’s book, it was a quick read and seemed like a very easy book for children who are beginning to read chapter books. Lastly I enjoyed that the author explained what some of the vocabulary, foods, and the history behind Laos for the reader to understand.
