{My thoughts} – Bell and Bub have a few things going on in their world. First off Bella gets a couple of snow days and gets to miss school. Bub finds out he doesn’t really like the snow at all. But then once he is properly dressed to be out in the snow things change for him.

Second, while they are outside they learn they have new neighbors moving in. The new neighbors have a dog that sounds like a mean ole nasty monster. There is also a lot of noise and smoke coming from their backyard. This has both Bella and Bub scared.

I really liked this book. It helps to show children that is okay to have an imagination. It also shows them that at some point they do need to face their fears. It helps to also show them that things aren’t always as they seem and that it’s okay to think otherwise until you learn differently.

I look forward to reading the next book in this series when it comes out. It sort of reminds me of the Owl Diaries Series by Rebecca Elliott. Only this one isn’t printed in complete color. Otherwise, they are very similar. ( )
