Ever since Finn was born, and even before then, we would read to him. We wanted to show him reading from an early age. Now he loves us to read the same books, over, and over, and over. But it is the sweetest thing, when he likes to pick out a book and climb into our laps.
Swim Bark Run by Brian Boyle
Daisy the Bulldog has gone to every one of her owner's triathlons. She's proud of his athletic accomplishments, and is always there to greet him at the finish line.
Daisy wonders if she could train and compete for an event like that. So she gets her doggy friends, Rascal the Dachshund, Atticus the Corgi, and Hobie the Dalmatian to make their own dog-athalon.
They plot a course through the park and train daily: swimming across the pond, skateboarding down the sidewalks, running up and down the hill.
Finally, it's the big day, and the poochy pals couldn't be more excited. The course is tough, but they help one another along the way, cheering to keep going, challenging to do their very best.
On the final hill, Daisy's tired and not sure she can make it to the finish line--until she spots a familiar (human) face, rooting for her along the way. "Go, Daisy, go! Swim, bark, run. Go, Daisy, go! Just have fun!"
A charming celebration of setting goals and staying active, SWIM BARK RUN demonstrates that with determination and teamwork, everyone's a winner.
Do you like this book?
Mhmm! I liked the medal because it's shiny and I like when the doggies go super fast!
What's your favorite part of the book?
Hobie is my favorite! He's a fireman's dog. And I loved when they were swimming, and skateboarding. And then Daisy passed Hobie! This books makes me feel so fast!
What do you think of the cover?
I love the doggies on the cover! And the red words.
Do you want me to read it again?
Yeah, I hope soon!
We received an ARC for this book, so we read it on my Kindle. The pictures and the words didn't come cross very well on the kindle, but enough to read it, and Finn really liked the pictures.
With that being said, this book is really cute, the artwork is adorable, there's even a corgi! And the story is a great story about not giving up.
