My Review

I chose to read this book after receiving a free e-copy from the author. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.

The story begins with Brutus chasing his friend, Scrump the rabbit. When a squirrel, Charlie, sees this, he tries to stop Brutus, but they assure him that they’re just playing. Then Charlie joins in the fun until they find a collar which switches their focus to a mission to find the owner.

Brutus Finds a Collar is an adorable book that is fun to read. It teaches children about being friends with others who are not like them, to be helpful, and to not jump to conclusions. It has cute, colorful illustrations by Syranity Barker and even a map of the yard at the beginning. There is a discussion guide at the back for book clubs, schools, or parents. The only thing that keeps me from giving Brutus Finds a Collar 5 stars is that it needs proofreading.
