On the surface, these are silly books with a bit much potty humor, but the real genius of Patterson/Butler’s character is that others’ perspective (Georgia and now Junior) make Rafe even more human. I'm a big James Patterson fan. I even like reading his not-so-great books, which there have many of them lately. His co-written children books are written better than most of his adult crime thrillers! Dog Diaries was one of the books that went under my radar when it was released last year, but the good news for me is that I received it as a Christmas present. Actually, it was the only book I'd received for the holidays. As President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s nearly constant companion, Fala the Scottish terrier was in the unique position to witness the workings of the U.S. presidency. And now for the first time, the sassy Scottie shares his story with readers—from his idyllic puppyhood spent chasing squirrels through his adulthood spent chasing dignitaries around the world with FDR! This entertaining tail (that is, tale) gives middle-graders a dog’s-eye view of the events leading up to the United States entering World War II, as well as a look at the private side of FDR’s life in a wheelchair. The “Dog Diaries” series by Kate Klimo began in the year 2013 with the release of “Ginger”, which is the first book in the series. The year 2013 was a big year for the series, as it saw the release of the first three books in the series. The books in this series feature illustrations by Tim Jessell. The series features stories about different breeds of dogs, and the stories are told from the point of view of the dogs. Each book features a famous dog from history. The stories are meant for readers in grades three through five.

Junior este luat dintr-un adăpost de câini și ajunge în "haita PrindOSU" sau "cotețul PrindOSU, lângă: Saint-Bunica, Doamna-Mamă, Fălcuțe-Georgia și MariHAM. I enjoyed several of the books in the Middle School series written by James Patterson & Chris Tebbetts featuring Rafe Khatchadorian (which now includes 11 books). Dog Diaries is a newer "spinoff" series featuring Rafe's dog, Junior. The first book in the series introduces us to Junior from his perspective, beginning with the first time he meets his pet-human (Rafe). Fortunately, Junior meets a boy who smells like junk food and broken rules - none other than the great Rafe Khatchadorian (“Katch-a-doggy-bone”) - who decides to become Junior’s pet human. Hilarity and a comeuppance to a crabby, middle-aged antagonist ensue. Fans of the novel is an interesting and fun read that will teach whoever reads it. There is excitement to this book, all of these things are important to good children’s historical fiction. Some found that they got emotional by reading parts of the book. Some enjoyed reading about Barry’s story, and these are a great way for kids to get into chapter books. Some like the way that Barry tells his story of heroics, but does not boast or brag. He just tells it like it is.

Barry” is the third novel in the “Dog Diaries” series and was released in the year 2013. The most famous Saint Bernard there ever was, named Barry der Menschenretter, finally tells his life’s story. The story starts in the Alps (between Italy and Switzerland at the treacherous pass, eight thousand feet above sea level). The monks of the hospice of St. Bernard have kept dogs so that they can rescue travelers that have gone missing in the snow. This started in the eleventh century. The dogs are named for the hospice, after becoming a breed of their very own. It is their job to help the two thousand travelers that might otherwise freeze to death. Barry is a modest dog and tells, not just of his own exploits, but about his daily life in the hospice. About how he is close with the brothers that train him, the other hounds that he works with. Barry has saved many lives (more than forty), including a twelve year old boy that was freezing in a cave. Here's MIDDLE SCHOOL for young readers--through the eyes of Rafe Khatchadorian's misbehaving mutt, Junior! When rule-breaking Rafe has to train his new dog in obedience school, you know things are about to get really ruff! With some extra time to kill last Saturday afternoon, I read Dog Diaries: A Middle School Story, which is probably the worst entry in the Middle School franchise! There's absolutely no plot! Yes, I know the story is told from a dog's point-of-view and the book is aimed for children, but, "Come on!" At least include a small plot in the story!!! The book is mostly a bunch of unfunny jokes and gags that makes the dog Junior look very unintelligent. The only saving grace is the fun illustrations!
