Haha, I like your enthusiasm and appreciate the shared puppy love! This was a cute story indeed and so full of canine adventures. I hope many get the chance to enjoy it! 🐕

I am with you on that! Adventurous animal journeys are always so heartwarming and inspirational. I hope this one can undergo another quick revision because it definitely deserves to be read by many! Thank you. 💙

It must have been hard for that dog! I get emotional when something like this happens to animals. I think I might like this book. Thanks for your wonderful review!

When I read the book's title, I didn't expect that it is a children's book. I love dogs and Kihei is just too adorable. I would love to read his adventures. Thanks for a lovely review!

For a pampered house pet, a sudden outdoor journey definitely presented a wide range of challenging obstacles, but the author still managed to keep the story fun throughout! Thank you for the super sweet comment! 🐶

Kihei is an adorable canine character indeed! And yes, the book title and cover don’t immediately suggest that this is a children’s tale, so perhaps that makes it even more appealing to a wider range of reader ages. Thank you for stopping by! 🐩

Kihei’s Odyssey by Gary Stephens sounds like an interesting and a well-crafted adventurous story. Thank you for your review. It really gave a glimpse of what the book entails.

Although the story is interesting, the cover art seems too bland and lacking lustre to attract the target audience i.e.8-12 year-olds and the title can also benefit from another creative thinking round. Thanks for an amazing review :)

Thank you for sharing your initial impressions and suggestions for this author! I know what you mean about the cover art and title seeming targeted to an older reader age range, but perhaps that’s why I found the antics so entertaining because I didn’t expect them! Haha, regardless, I appreciate you stopping by. 🐾

These two :dog: took quite the scenic route to Laguna Beach, but what an exciting journey! A 79-page read is a respectable length for the target audience, and it sounds entertaining and educational. I may add this one to my list for students I tutor after another round of editing. Thank you for your recommendation!

An incredibly scenic travel route (I think they’ve been to more places in America than I personally have)! 😄 I could definitely picture each pup getting into all sorts of mischief along the way, so I think this story would definitely entertain young readers. Thank you for the kind words, sweet friend! 🐕

This really seems like a interesting book with fascinating plot. I really like Kihei, she is so cute. I am really curious to know how she avoids all the dangers like avoiding animal hunters. Thank you for your wonderful review.🌻🌼
