Why read it?

1 author picked Bloop as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I instantly fell in love with Bloop, the tiny, power-hungry pug.

Tara Lazar is always clever and hilarious. Her observation (through Bloop’s eyes) of who’s actually in charge of Earth, the people or the dogs, created an interesting premise for a unique story when paired with the intergalactic setting. Mike Boldt’s illustrations are expressive and energetic.

This book was a ton of fun to read out loud. Finding funny voices for all the over-the-top characters was easy and made the kids laugh.

From Taylor's list on picture books starring space pups.
