Fetch Amy And The Missing Puppy (The Critter Club, #1) Written By Callie Barkley Shown In Document

was looking for easy to read chapter books for my girls big fans of Princess in Black, I loved this one! Its an allgirl mystery that involves animals, The girls are big fans of Nancy Drew and it reads like an early reader ND, in my opinion.
They are kind, smart, and brave girls, I cant wait to check out the rest of the series, First book The Critter Club in series, Reading level N. Read aloud to myyear old daughter, She liked it. Quick and easy intro to chapter books from picture books, I like all the illustrations on each spread, Not a terribly exciting story though, Feels almost oversimplified more than need be for a child in my opinion, For kids agesand they're playing MASH and talking about boyfriends huh Read this to myyear old, and the characters were unrelatable for the first few chapters.
The missing puppy, however well that was a great plot in her mind! My mom is

starting to read chapter books to me I'm five.
This book was really cute it was also possibly my first mystery book, Amy's friends all have fun plans for the summer, but she doesn't, She thinks she'll just read Nancy Drew books which my mom thinks sounds like a great way to spend a summer!.
A real mystery comes her way, though, when Ms, Sullivan's puppy goes missing. Amy looks for clues and uses what she has learned from Nancy to find the puppy, Amy and friends decide to help find a missing puppy,

Elianas review: “I liked this book, I liked the part where she was finding the puppy, I guessed that he was where mud puddles were, The puppy was my favorite character, ” Sanaya talks books:

I like The Critter Club books because Amy, Ellie, Marion and Liz care very much about the animals.
I like that all four friends think about others more than themselves, I like Amy more because she also loves reading books like me, I also like the fact that each book is specific to one girl, The four girls are such close friends and that they never fight even when something wrong happens and they support each other for all their competitions.


Mommy likes:
The series is aboutsecond grade girls who open an animal shelter to take care of animals who are either lost or need a new family for some reason.
At times they petsit someone's pets too when they have to go out of town for a while,

The book might seem like there will be lot of details on animals and how to take care of them, since the girls are opening an animal shelter, but the animals and the shelter are more like settings and the books deal more with individual emotions and the friendship between the girls.


The books are designed for kids transitioning to reading chapter books independently, There are currentlybooks in the series and book numberandare soon to be released this year,

The books are a great way to teach kids empathy towards animals as well as towards each other.


they also teach kids the value of friendship despite having differences in interests and personalities, It also teaches kids about responsibility,

Verdict:

Kids will definitely enjoy reading this series and since it has so many books in them it will keep them engaged too for a very long time.
It's easy language will enable them to enjoy the story on their own,

I read this to myyear old who is enteringst grade, It is a cute book with a cute plot, however I do agree with some of the other reviews about the very beginning of the book, in the fact that it brings up boys and the game of MASH over my daughters head.
If you can get past that short part in the beginning the rest of the book is good, A great little mystery for my fiveyearold the plot is easy to follow, the print is big enough for her to follow along, and there are cute illustrations on nearly every page.
Better than all that, though, is a story about a strong and curious little girl and her friends, This is the review of myyear old daughter, Sydney,

Who was in this book: Amy, the main character and her friends Liz, Marion and Ellie, There are also the pets Ruffles the dog and Misty the Cat,

Where does the Story take place: Most of the story takes place outside,

What is the Story about: This is a story aboutfriends who look for Ruffles the dog who has gone missing.
The girls look around and find clues that help them to find the missing dog, Through the search for the missing dog, the girls became great friends and join together to make the Critter Club.


What I liked about the Story: I liked that the book also had some nice picture that helped me understand the book.
I really liked all of the clues that the girls had to follow, I really liked that this book was about a mystery and I am starting to really like mystery stories.


Why should you read it: This will help you get better at reading, If you like books were you have to follow the clues and you like mysteries than I think you will like this book.
It was one of the best books ever! I love it! I just got it at the Library and I will give it back to the Library.
Dumb. Kids will love this series, but this was seriously extremely painful to read,

ALSO be careful who you give this one to, the book starts with firstish graders playing MASH to predict their future husbands and whatever and I can see sooo many parents being upset by this.
AMY AND THE MISSING PUPPY is the first book in the Critter Club Series, It is the story of a group of friends who help solve the mystery of a missing dog, I can't say I'm overwhelmed by the plot or the book in general but there are a few things I loved.
I loved the references to Nancy Drew, I loved the positive girl role model in Amy a problem solving, reader, and good friend and in her mom, a vet.
My six year old twins enjoyed it and immediately requested that I get the second book, This series isn't the absolute best I've ever read, but it is one I would happily encourage my kids to keep reading.
My issue with this book is that it is at the right reading level for my firstgrader who is reading at a secondgrade level but the Amy and the Missing Puppy's first scene includes some girls talking about a crush on a boy, which is not the right maturity level for first or secondgraders.
Or am I behind the times either way, I don't want my firstgrader reading this, and maybe not even my thirdgrader.
I am so glad I listened to my Mom's suggestion 'cause this was a really good book! This is a great book!!!! It's fun to imagine what it would be like if your mother were a veterinarian and you lived nextdoor to her clinic, helping her care for sick and injured animals every day.
What girl who loves animals wouldn't want to be in Amy Purvis's shoes Spring break is starting, so this Friday's sleepover party with her friends Liz, Marion, and Ellie will be their last gettogether until next Friday.
Liz and Marion have vacations planned, but Amy and Ellie will be both staying home in Santa Vista, At least Ellie's grandmother is moving in with Ellie this week, but Amy won't have much to occupy her own time except volunteering at her mother's clinic and the Nancy Drew mystery she's reading.
This could be a disappointing spring break,

Then one evening Ms, Sullivan, a wealthy older woman not known for friendliness, seeks out Amy's mother at home, Ms. Sullivan's St. Bernard puppy, Rufus, has escaped by digging under the back fence of Ms, Sullivan's house. It's a stormy night, and she fears for her dog out there alone, Seeing the woman's distress, Amy wonders if Ms, Sullivan isn't as bad as she assumed, The next morning, while Amy's mother notifies the locals about the missing pet, Amy follows up on a clue she's found.
Rufus leaves muddy paw prints wherever he shows up around town, but he's always gone by the time Amy arrives.
Can she think of a way to predict where the puppy will go next

Enlisting Ellie to assist, Amy emulates Nancy Drew's detective methodology, studying the clues to deduce Rufus's whereabouts.
As days pass she knows the pup must be taking shelter somewhere, but what kind of shelter would appeal to a hungry, frisky puppy The clues are all there for Amy and Ellie to solve their first pet mystery, and learn that not every person who seems grouchy actually is.
Ms. Sullivan could be the key to the next great adventure in Amy, Liz, Marion, and Ellie's lives: the founding of The Critter Club, a muchneeded supplement in Santa Vista to Amy's mother's clinic.
It's the start of something special,

Amy and the Missing Puppy is a pleasantly atmospheric beginning for Callie Barkley's The Critter Club series.
The mystery is easy to follow and logical, Marsha Riti's illustrations are attractive, and we learn something about not judging books, metaphorical or otherwise, by their cover.
I see why The Critter Club is a popular series, and I intend to read more, I'll see you at book two, All About Ellie!,
