Dot is back for another adventure, this time in an early chapter book. Dot has a pet sitting business, and she initially has a couple pets to look after. When more and more pets get added to the bunch, it seems she has bitten off more than she can chew. This is a great early chapter book, and I hope it becomes a series. Kids will recognize Dot and her family, and the familiarity of the characters will encourage them to pick it up. The story is easy to follow and fun. The illustrations are characteristic of other Dot books — high color, cartoonish, and engaging for young readers. Recommended for readers 4 and up. This is a great read aloud for younger readers as well.
