Reviews
Praise for Pug Blasts Off: A Branches Book (Diary of a Pug #1): ""May's cutesy, full-color cartoon art sets the tone for this pug-tastic romp for the new-to-chapter-books crowd. Bub's infectious first-person narration pushes the silly factor off the charts."" -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for Pug's Snow Day: A Branches Book (Diary of a Pug #2): ""The full-color cartoon illustrations, especially of Bub, are adorably expressive and certain to please the age group. A strong, accessible diary story for readers seeking an adorable animal tale."" -- Kirkus Reviews ""May's next title in the Diary of a Pug series is a hilarious and heartwarming tale of a dog's first snow... Readers new to chapter books will love the unique diary format and vibrant illustrations."" -- School Library Journal Praise for Pug the Sports Star: A Branches Book (Diary of a Pug #11): ""The lined-paper aesthetic, combined with cartoon illustrations and speech bubbles, gives the book a diary-like feel that is easy for kids to follow. This is a lighthearted, silly story that children will love... A must-have, especially for libraries where the 'Diary of a Pug' series is popular."" -- School Library Journal
