Lost Dog! (Choose Your Own Adventure Dragonlarks)

This book is from the original author of the Choose your Own Adventure books I read as a teenager, however, he has specially written this for younger children aged 6-8 with large print, animations and shorter stories (75 pages in total) to keep younger children entertained as the original books are rather long and can be scary. Thankfully this book isn't scary and doesn't have sad endings, each of the possible 10 endings are happy. The story is obviously about a lost dog. The animations are bright and colourful. Yes this is an American book and as such you can expect American names and lots of references to 'mom' but this doesn't detract from the fun and exciting storylines, my son has great fun making the decisions on what happens next and finding out the outcome, he also learns a little about consequences of decisions.

I bought this book for my sons as I remember reading a choose your own story book when I was kid and thoroughly enjoying it. I was sure what age this was aimed at though and I would say its a bit basic for my 9 year old. (He did enjoy the novelty value of picking what to do next and it inspired him to write his own similar style story for literacy in school) It was perfect for my 6 year old. I'd recommend this then for 5-6year olds.

Very American , lots of words spelt the American way. Also very young , my 4 year old grandson declared it to be " a silly story" I won't buy any more.

My granddaughter will love this

Good book
