Seuling, B. (2001). Robert and the great pepperoni. New York: Scholastic Inc.
Plot Summary
Robert is a little boy who has started a pet-sitting business of his own, but dreams of owning a dog of his own. One day, on his way to a neighbours house to feed her cat, he sees a golden lab sitting in a yard all chained up. The following day, the dog escapes from its chain and finds Robert. Robert's parents allow him to keep the dog until he is trained and able to be adopted. The book follows Robert as he trains "Pepperoni", the dog, and has to give him up for adoption.
Review
This chapter book, like Robert and the Attack of the Giant Tarantula, consists primarily of text with very few drawings. The story writing in the story flows well and it deals appropriately with human emotions and finding solutions to problems. I think that many kids would enjoy these books, as they are easy to relate to and have great boy appeal. Robert is a cute character, with a very creative and charming imagination.
Age Range - 5-8
