Christmas at Rosie Hopkins' Sweetshop (Rosie Hopkins' Sweet Shop, Bk 2)
Review Date: 1/22/2021


Utterly charming, a perfect read around holiday time. This book is well-written, has engaging characters and a good story line with a few twists. It's a lovely escape without being sugar-coated or implausible.
The bonus for me, despite having lived and worked with Brits for years, was learning lots of new to me British phrases, terms and foods.

This is an entertaining, oversized book loaded with very big color photos of each breed of puppy.
The text is quite realistic about both good traits & what "you need to know" about the breeds. Between the great photos & information, this would make an excellent book to use with children as you begin considering the right breed of dog for your family & lifestyle.

If you have a purebred rescue it's also fun to see what they must've looked like as a puppy!

One of the best books I ever read about horses, a classic text on the true nature of horses. The Mustangs should be required reading for all horse people. This book is one of my all-time favorites & I obtain every copy I come across to give as gifts to horsey friends!
