Mister Bud Wears the Cone

Mister Bud Wears the Cone
By Carter Goodrich
Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2014. Unpaged picture book.

Mister Bud has a boo boo, so...it's time for the cone. Mister Bud doesn't like the cone. He and Zorro try to get it off, to no avail. Zorro, hyperactive as ever, quickly loses interest and moves on to breaking into the biscuits. He also gets into poor Mister Bud's toys! Mister Bud chases Zorro to get a toy back and creates a mess when his cone knocks over a lamp. When Mom comes home, Zorro jumps up and exclaims, "Look what Mister Bud did! Look what Mister Bud did!" Mom understands that the cone makes it hard to see and move, so Mister Bud doesn't get scolded. But when she sees the trail of biscuits on the other hand, she looks right to Zorro!

This is another delightful book featuring the adventures of puppy pals Mister Bud and Zorro! These two are a hysterical and expressive pair. This book is a clever look at what might happen when the people are away.

Review: The Hidden Dragon

The Hidden Dragon By Melissa Marr New York: Nancy Paulsen Books, 2023. Fiction. 161 pages. Three children, Otter, London, and Sophia, live in a fantasy world with dragons. Otter (short for Ottilie) is the daughter of a ship captain, and she loves the sea and its dragons. London is a stowaway boy, searching for a new life full of adventure. Sophia lives in a thief house with other children, all dedicated to helping each other and trying to make the kingdom better. As trouble begins to brew both on land and at sea, these three heroes realize that maybe it's up to the kids to make things right. Readers experience the book from multiple perspectives, and with a bit of mystery and adventure, this is an amazing fantasy read. With the inspiring message that children truly can make a difference, readers will enjoy how each character fights for what's right, even when it's inconvenient. The ending is resolved a little quickly, but this is a great read for all "hatchlings."
