Reviews
"". . .harkens back to those heady days of Calvin and Hobbes"" -- School Library Journal ""Doggy delights continue. Bak! In a dozen loosely linked chapters with titles like ""The Bark Knight"" and ""Cat-ificial Intelligence,"" sudden imaginary costume changes mark further high and low moments in Sophie's ongoing relationships with an expanding cast of arrivals--from eloquent, if monosyllabic, toddler Doug (""Bak!"") to several shelter dogs fostered by the household's humans. Along with borrowing characters and running themes from the original webcomic, these fresh episodes preserve both its sly brand of humor and solid-gold values on the way to a cozy closing snoozefest. . . "" --Kirkus Reviews ""Sophie is the perfect mix of heart, humor, and hilarity!"" --Lincoln Peirce, creator of Big Nate ""These are great! Very Calvin and Hobbes in tone. Episodic chapters full of fantastical adventures starring a baby, dogs, cats, and squirrels. Readers will absolutely love these--get multiple copies!"" --Teen Librarian Toolbox (Hosted by School Library Journal) ""Here's something fun...For doggie GN kids, this will be right up their alley."" --A Fuse #8 Production, Betsy Bird (School Library Journal)
