Goodreads Synopsis:
A buddy adventure through the forest, starring two best-pal pooches! Two best friend dogs, Schnozzer (the smart one) and Tatertoes (the cheerful one), set off into the forest on a journey to visit Tatertoes’s mom. Along their adventure, they encounter bees, bears, quicksand, characters from fairy tales, something called “nose spiders,” and lots of yo-yo action. Their adventures are told as a series of vignettes, propelled by easygoing but giggle-inducing humor. That plus Rick Stromoski’s lush, illustrative style and charming character designs make for page-turning, chuckle-filled reading.
Review:
Schnozzer and Tatertoes are two dog friends who live together. After a game of “Mother May I,” Schnozzer realizes he doesn’t have any memories of his mom. They decide to go to the farm where Schnozzer was born to find his mom. Along the way, they meet fairytale characters, like Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks, and creatures like “nose spiders” and “a log with a face” in the water. They have a entertaining journey to find Schnozzer’s mom.
This was an adorable children’s graphic novel! Schnozzer is a cheerful and naive dog, while Tatertoes is more logical. There were jokes that will make kids and adults laugh. The illustrations were beautiful and expressive too. I liked the inclusion of familiar fairy tale characters. It made the story relatable, since they were characters I already know.
Schnozzer and Tatertoes Take a Hike is a great children’s graphic novel!
Thank you Union Square and Co. for sending me a copy of this book!
