Review
"A top pick for chapter book collections."-School Library Journal, starred review
"Will appeal to fans of the Henry and Mudge series as well as to the younger picture-book audience."-Kirkus Reviews
"Will delight, in particular, child readers who are fond of animals."--Julie Danielson, Kirkus Reviews
"My new obsession: BARKUS! A perfect beginning chapter book to help independent readers to build confidence--with fun short, interconnected stories detailing the ebullient adventures of a girl and her dog. Boutavant imbues Barkus with a distinct (and precisely canine) personality--a raised ear here, a blissful leap there--and matches the cheerful stories with bright, sunny colors. Guaranteed to leave readers with a smile and longing for Book 2! And possibly, probably wanting a Barkus of their own."--Hannah DeCamp, Avid Bookshop
"An upbeat collection of five stories that bridges picture book and chapter book terrain."- Publishers Weekly
"Fans will be begging for more."-The Horn Book Magazine
"Stories that will make everyone want a dog like Barkus."--Imagination Soup
"The charm is infectious."--The New York Times
