BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Perla is a rescue dog that has two superpowers: 1) she can make everyone love her and 2) she can bark the loudest! Through her example, she teaches her human, Nico, how to stand up for himself against a school bully.
I think this would be cute for any animal-loving child, but as an adult, I was a little confused by the dog narrator and the magical elements - like it was magical, but it also wasn't? I know Isabel Allende incorporates magical realism in her full-length novels, but I don't think it translated well to the picture book realm.
