Review of Bark Park by Brandi Dougherty


Scout's a little dog with a big appetite for solving mysteries with her friends! From Epic! Originals, Bark Park is an adventure-filled series about the strange things that happen at Scout’s local dog park.

With a little sleuthing and a lot of blueberries, Scout follows her nose to help her friends Maggie, Rocky, and Gus solve the mysteries of the popped ball, the cone of shame, and the missing bone!

**My thoughts**
This cute set of three stories revolves around a dog named Scout and her friends at the local dog park. There's nothing they love more than a good mystery. And in these three stories, they have little ones to solve. I think my favorite one is the second one, "Cone of Shame," where Rocky is wearing a cone to keep him from licking the sore on his paw. Of course, he doesn't know why he has it on and isn't sure how it got on him in the first place. It's amusing to read about them trying to get it off of him, and exactly the kinds of conversations and antics I think dogs may actually be saying, thinking, doing whenever one of them is wearing one of these!

Each story has a reason for why it is being told. At the end of the book, each of the "mysteries" is explained with the facts about it. For example, in the "Cone of Shame" story I mentioned earlier, the author explains why dogs sometimes need to wear cones. I really like this part.

The illustrations are really cute and very colorful. This is a fun read for chapter book readers!

Thank you the the publisher for fulfilling my review request via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
