"Moka was a good dog. He and Michelle loved to be together. Life was perfect, until one day, she read a book about wolves...."And so begins his discontentment. There's a great big world beyond Eden...
"And look at the way I live, Moka sighed. I'm nothing but a house pet. He felt like a failure, especially when Michelle made him dress up for her tea parties. He wanted to be a wolf."
You can pretty much guess what happens. You can almost close your eyes and imagine a discontent spouse. Hmmm. Inspiration perhaps? This is a good children's book however, the illustrations done in watercolour are quite good at portraying the imagination and the reality of a dog's life. It is quaint and lighthearted without pushing the realm of possibility, and older children appreciate that. I had a mother with her suprisingly old daughter ILL every book written by this author. Thanks R. for passing this on!
