Night Market Rescue by Charlotte Cheng, illustrated by Amber Ren - ADVISABLE

Night Market Rescue by Charlotte Cheng, illustrated by Amber Ren. PICTURE BOOK. Rocky Pond Books (Penguin Random House), 2023. $19. 9780593531723

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) – ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Gogo is a dog wandering through the colorful and fragrant night market in Taipei when he finds a lost and lonely girl. He helps reunite the little girl with her family, and finds a new home along the way!

It’s a cute story. I think it would appeal to lower elementary students with its bright and vibrant illustrations, and the dog protagonist. I especially like the Taiwanese setting, which could be a great addition to a world library.
