Cute. Would have been better if the pug was replaced by a cat though :) ( )

This first book in the Diary of a Pug series did not disappoint. The story is told by Pug. It is written in a diary format with cute illustrations. An added bonus is that the pages look like notebook paper. Pug helps Bella create a project for the Inventor challenge. There's just one problem - Nutz a sneaky squirrel steals Pug's bear when they go to test the project. This book encourages problem solving and thinking outside the box along with friendship. This would be a great chapter book for 2nd graders. ( )

A new series by scholastics’ Branches. Books are known to be great for those evolving into readers. Colorful illustrations, short chapters and clear large font are, like many branches books, part of this early chapter book by the Australian author Kyla May. Text is underlined like it is a true diary, and there is additional dialogue in speech bubbles.
The reader follows BUB, Baron Von Bubbles, who introduces himself and tells the reader about a inventing craft project he will help his owner Bella with. The rocket Bella comes up with has to be tested, but because BUB decides to ride the rocket to get his bear back, it breaks. Is there enough time to put it back together for the big Inventors challenge on Friday? Actually it will be better and improved.
Fans of Owl diaries will love this series also.

Cute story and enjoyed the illustrations. The pug is exactly how I picture most pugs to be. ( )
