This review is from: Puppies in the Pantry (Animal Ark, No. 3) (Paperback)

If you have a sensitive child, BEWARE of this book. One early chapter describes in agonizing detail the suffering, euthanasia and burial of a beloved poodle. Any child who cares about animals will be distressed reading this chapter, as I and my 8yo daughter were. We could read no further. Her classmate then told me "that's not all, look at this!". She pointed to an illustration from another chapter, where movie actors are shown running from something - note the man on the right with a (fake) bloody dagger protruding from his chest. This book does not belong on your child's reading list.

Puppies in the Pantry
By Ben M. Baglio

Have you ever been able to take care of an animal movie star? Well, Mandy does in Puppies in the Pantry, by Ben M. Baglio. This book is about Mandy getting to take care of a dog movie star. Mandy comes to the theater and finds out Charley, the movie star, ran away. She also thinks something is wrong with Jess, her aunt's dog. Mandy has to solve the problem of finding out what is wrong with Jess.

I like this book because there is a lot of action. I also like all the main characters because they do stuff that is really exciting, like taking care of wild animals.

I see the pictures in this story in my head. They are funny and sad. I learned you should never let your dog out in a thunderstorm. I also learned that even if you're small you can save someone bigger than you. Are James and Mandy ever going to find Charley? Find out in Puppies in the Pantry!

I loved this book so much. It is one of my favorites in the Animal Ark book series. In the book Mandy and her best friend James have to find a missing animal star named Charley. You'll have to find out what happens in the book by reading it.
