Koen: The entire Puppy Tale series is wonderful for kids!
My dog-crazy 8/9-year-old son has been voraciously reading the whole series and has trouble putting the book away at bedtime.

He says that they are heartwarming but can be sad at times (not tooo sad though, just temporarily sad! lol Enough to add suspense and get him connected to the characters).

If you've seen the Dog's Purpose/Journey movies these books connect to the films. My son has loved realizing the connections between the books and the movies.

I can't recommend these books enough for young readers! They're especially nice because although written in clear, easy-to-understand language they are also intelligent and sophisticated -- they don't feel like "kids books" which is great for young readers who don't want "baby books".

Start with any in the series and you'll be hooked! :)

balaclava: Bailey's Story should be read by everyone who loves animals. And those who don't. Cameron's book is nothing short of genius They are loving companions to the elderly by giving them a distraction and not thinking about what they could have done differently in their lives, which is so common. Such a beautiful diversion. Another life to make richer. Dogs give children the gifts of compassion, responsibility and loyalty. Given the perfect circumstances, a child must help his family take part in giving the dog a loving, consistent home. Cameron, who shared Bailey's lives, illustrated how the differences of the masters reflect the character of the dog. I have always said people should model the love and beautiful unconditional love of a dog. They want, and give, the most insight into what is pure and good. I seriously believe their qualities could change the world in this frightening and uneasy times. Watch your pet. Watch how his eyes sparkle and their tails wag simply by hearing your step. Such love exists so rarely.

charlie: Baileys incredible story
By W. Bruce Cameron

I think that Bailey's story is an amazing book and would recommend it to dog lovers everywhere. This book deserves 5/5 stars because it has everything that you need in a book, action, realistic fiction, humor, and a little emotion. It is easy to love this sweet and funny main character, Bailey the yellow Labrador dog. Its great to see dogs perspectives towards humans.

In this book, Bailey's story by W. Bruce Cameron, there is a dog with a crazy imagination and lovable character, Bailey. Bailey was rescued by Ethan's mom and becomes Ethan's loyal, and loving companion. In this book they have crazy adventures, at one time they even get lost in the woods. There is also a character named Todd, who was Ethan’s friend at first then he does a unforgettable thing that changes Ethan’s life. No matter what challenge Ethan goes through Bailey is there to help and protect him.

In this part of the text Bailey is helping “His boy” by jumping in the water after him when he falls in, “I lunged, jaws open, and seized the hood of his sweatshirt in my mouth. Lifting my head, dragging him with me, I swam hard for the...

Ann Raw: W. Bruce Cameron has done it again with his latest release of Bailey's Story. He has an uncanny ability to write from the dog's point of view resulting in capturing my attention from the very first line all the way to the end. While reading this book, I felt I could really relate to all the joy and, at times, confusion that a dog certainly must experience while growing up. Bailey's realization that Ethan was his boy and his purpose was to love and protect him seems to perfectly describe the wonderful relationships that do result between a boy and his dog. While written for middle-school aged readers, I felt that Mr. Cameron made it a delightful read for both the young and young-at-heart!
