Discovering that sometimes you have to be a little bad to be very good, Tako the puppy makes a brave choice in this adventure tale and proves that heroes come in all shapes and sizes. When 8-year-old Ricky Lee finds a puppy on the side of the road, he takes him home and names him Tako. Ricky’s mom and dad agree to let Tako stay under one condition: he must be a good dog who always follows the rules—or it’s off to the pound he goes. Tako wants more than anything to be a good dog and stay with Ricky, but when the Lees open Happy Family Bakery and a competing store owner sets out to sabotage the shop, Tako has to break the rules to protect Ricky and his family.
I received a copy of this book in return for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
My rating: five of five stars
This book is so cute! I loved the idea behind the story and it is beautifully written out and illustrated. My nine year old picked to read this book one day for her reading time. They are supposed to read at least 10-20 minutes per night, this was one of the first times she's read longer, just to get to the end. Not sure I love the way they emphasize to Tako that if he isn't good he will go to the pound though. I feel like that gives kids the idea that if they are bad they might be sent away as well, but that was such a minor thing overall that I still give this one five stars.
