Review: Wedgie & Gizmo

Wedgie & Gizmo by Suzanne Selfors
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was such a cute book. I found myself giggling throughout the story.
Wedgie is a corgi, who may or may not be a little intellectually challenged. Gizmo is a genius guinea pig, an evil genius, bent on world domination... Hilarity ensues.
The story is told from the point of view of the animals in alternating chapters. The humans are met, through conversations that they have and how the animals see them. In addition to just being a silly book, it also deals with very real issues like a blended family and moving to a new place. The feelings the humans have in this story are very real and realistically portrayed.

I found myself wanting to read this book aloud, which is great, I will work hard to get multiple teachers to read it aloud to their classes next year. It will be a great read aloud for third grade and the older grades will enjoy reading it independently.

All in all this is a great addition to the Bluebonnets and I look forward to hearing the author speak more about the book.
