Poodle in a Puddle!, September 5, 2009
This review is from: Pet Trouble #3: Mud-Puddle Poodle (Paperback)
Ten-year-old Rosie is a girlie girl. She likes pink fingernail polish, and sweet, quiet, pretty things. She doesn't get much of the sweet, quiet and pretty things at home, though, because she has four older brothers.
Four. Four older brothers.
Rosie is overwhelmed with noise and dirt. So when she has a chance to vote for what kind of dog her family should get, she has already researched the answer -- she wants a cute, white, fluffy, princessy dog -- a toy poodle. Finally she will be able to have a sweet, quiet, pretty pet.
Rosie had some surprises in store when she won the vote and brought home her cute little ball of white-and-honey-colored fur. Buttons thought digging in the dirt and then rolling in it was so much fun! After four baths just in the first day, Rosie knew she needed a solution -- fast.
Themes of patience, cooperation and family unity make this a fun book for girlie girls who love princesses and pink. A much younger protagonist than the first two books (
Runaway Retriever (Pet Trouble) and
Loudest Beagle On The Block (Pet Trouble)). This book stands alone -- characters in the first two books are only peripheral to this story. For girls 9-11.

A Clumsy Poodle, May 13, 2011
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Pet Trouble #3: Mud-Puddle Poodle (Paperback)
Rosie battles her brothers in a competition to choose what dog they should get as a pet. She has two friends that adore her dog but her four older brothers hate her dog. They all think they should get a bigger dog than a poodle. After,she wins the competition they get the poodle, Rosie names her Buttons. Since Buttons loves mud and dirt she gets about five baths a day. If Rosie wears Buttons out she won't get all muddy.
I would recommend this book because I love dogs and the Pet Trouble books are all about kids and dogs. This is mainly about a clumsy, muddy poodle. It is an easy read for some kids. I would recommend Mud-Puddle Poodle to a girl instead of a boy. Something about this book makes you want to read it in one setting.
