A fun read 😀

A cute little story about a cuter little poodle. One day Miss Mollie wanders off but despite being lost, and having scary adventures finds her way eventually back home. With words and pictures we travel with her. A good lesson for those of us who may have gotten lost along our own path. Finding our way home is so worth it.

I love this book and so does my granddaughter. We loved the storyline. It was easy for Isla (6) to follow and the illustrations are fabulous. My granddaughter liked the black cat picture because her sister has a black cat. She also loved the fact that the story rhymed. Very enjoyable book to read. Hope there will be more Miss Mollie adventures for us to follow.
