Book Links
This is a sweet story of a dog named Gracie who is exploring the city of Naples, Italy. She takes us around the city and introduces us to the places and cultural experiences that make Naples such a wonderful place to visit. You get to learn some vocabulary and some history as well.
The drawings are very sweet and cute. But I found it kind of hard to read the text. It's all handwritten and kind of mushed into the illustrations. It makes the pages seem cluttered. I think this would be much better if each of these pages was split into two. Then you could read it and appreciate it much more. I would have ranked it higher if I could have read it more easily, because it definitely has some great potential here.
Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for fulfilling my review request. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
