What readers are saying

Gumbo is a little guy with big plans. He's ​the hopeful hero in this series, who goes ​through many trials and tribulations but ​learns to trust his mommy no matter what ​happens along the way.


This story teaches children a lesson on ​trust and how it is built over small ​experiences not just one event. My kids are ​getting older but I read this to my cousin’s ​children 2,7,and 8 yo) and they want to ​know what happens next. Off to book 2.

Am​azon Reader

It’s most certainly special to ​rescue a puppy from a shelter. This ​book series takes us on rescued ​Gumbo’s journey with him as the ​narrator. He’s a lucky dog to have ​such a good mommy there for him.
