5.0 out of 5 starsHugs and Humor: An Unbeatable Pairing
By B. Everett on October 10, 2014
Format: Paperback
I loved this book. The Mutts Diaries is a collection of numerous Mutts comics, formatted with a notebook paper background, and grouped by character, so you’ll see Mooch's Diary, Earl's Diary, Shtinky's Diary, etc. I really liked this because your child can go straight to the “diary” of his or her favorite character first. The adventures of Mooch, Earl, and friends, are loaded with some laugh-out-loud moments (yes, even for this adult), some cute and sweet moments, as well as some groaners - the kind my kids always enjoyed. Best of all, this collection advocates hugs and pet adoption. Hard to beat such a fun book with such a big heart.

I received my copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

4.0 out of 5 starsFun characters and a fun book of comic strips for kids
By Wayne A McCoy on October 20, 2014
Format: Paperback
'The Mutts Diaries' by Patrick McDonnell is a great collection of comic strips for kids. I found myself liking it quite a bit as well.

Every character gets a chapter, but the characters are featured throughout. Cat Mooch and his best friend Earl. Bip and Bop are two squirrels that like pelting people on the head with nuts (among other things). Guard Dog, Crabby, Shtinky Puddin' and Chickpea and Chickpea's brother are also featured. Comic strip themes include vacations, life in the pound, having an owner, what each character would teach in school. The strips are silly and sometimes poignant.

It's a quick read, but the kind of thing I loved as a kid. I remember reading Nancy and Sluggo, Peanuts, Garfield and Bloom County. The drawings are simple but pretty adorable. The only character that seems a bit out of place in a kids collection is Crabby, who can't seem to make a sentence without a cuss word in it. Words are substituted by characters (#$%!*), but I still found it less funny for a kid's book. Other than that, I enjoyed this collection a lot.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this fun ebook.

5.0 out of 5 starsRecommended!
By Rebecca Mugridge on November 1, 2014
Format: Paperback
I've always been a big fan of newspaper comic strips, and Mutts is absolutely one of my favorites. Patrick McDonnell has been a frequent visitor to the BEA convention, and I was lucky enough to get an uncorrected proof of The Mutts Diaries. This book is geared towards middle-grade readers, and I found it charming and funny. It focuses on all of the recurring characters in the comic strip, with separate sections dedicated to Mooch (the cat), Earl (the dog), Sour Puss (a cat, obviously), Chickpea and Chickpea's brother (kitten twins), Crabby (the crab), Guard Dog, Bip and Bop (two squirrels), and Shtinky (a cat). Most of the drawings are in black and white, but every few pages there's a panel in color. McDonnell returns many times to the theme of animal cruelty and neglect (for example, through the sad treatment of Guard Dog who's tied outside all the time and very lonely), and the plight of unwanted animals, such as Chickpea and Chickpea's brother, who are hoping to be adopted.

This is an excellent book for anyone who enjoys comic strips, and has the added benefit of encouraging a thoughtful approach to the humane treatment of animals.

The whole family loves Mooch, Earl and the gang, especially my five year old. He takes the book everywhere with him, even in the super market. Needless to say I have just ordered the entire collection so we can all enjoy it.

My 8 year old LOVES graphic novels or any books about dogs. This was a quick read for her. She loved it! If you have a reluctant reader but enjoy the quick reads with pictures but are suitable for the 8-10 year old, this is a good book. :) It was received quickly and in good condition!

5.0 out of 5 starsInside the Lives of the "Mutts"
By tvtv3 TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on August 9, 2015
Format: Paperback
THE MUTTS DIARIES is a collection of "Mutts" comic strips collected together in a "diary" form. The pages are each formatted with a notebook paper background and the chapters in the books are from different characters in the strip that feature that character. So, there's Mooch's Diary, Earl's Diary, Crabby's Diary, Sour Puss's Diary, Chickpea & Chickpea's brother's Diary, Guard Dog's Diary, Bip & Bop's Diary, and Shtinky's Diary. My personal favorites are the squirrels Bip and Bop and Crabby the Crab. "Mutts" is a very simple comic, but one filled with some light-hearted humor and a big heart for animals.
