Homestead Friends | Book Review

This is a cute little children’s book. The art style is not my particular favorite—less detailed, more whimsical, bold colors. But just because it’s not my style doesn’t mean it’s not something I can’t recommend. I think children would really like the vivid colors.

It is a good sized book. Not quite coloring book size. It’s a good size to hold and let children point to the pictures and discuss it, but probably a little too big for toddlers to easily handle on their own.

The storyline is simple; a tale about a dog and what he does on the homestead following his dad around. I know I’m not a children’s book writer, but sometimes the text seemed to get a little wordy for younger children.

It isn’t explicitly Christian—I think the closest you get to any reference is the mention of “blessings.” It’s more of a neutral book.

The formatting wasn’t particularly my favorite with a plain white page for the text and a full-colored picture on the right. Again, I realize that this is totally my pickiness and the average reader probably won’t even think about it. It definitely doesn’t affect the quality of the storyline or the art—just the aesthetics.

Overall, it’s a cute little book that I think children will love. Especially if you have a little boy who adores dogs.
