I thought that this was a great story and I was cheering on Roscoe – he just had to have a good and happy ending – the poor boy.
I was so pleased that he got the strength and confidence to make a break for it and run away and it was lovely that he found Timmy – definitely soul mates there!
I wasn’t a fan of the illustrations in this book but the rest was lovely and I loved the ending
It is 4 stars from me for this one – highly recommended!
A heartwarming children's book that tells the tale of Roscoe, a lovable dog who longs for a loving home. The story beautifully captures the emotions of loneliness and hope as Roscoe escapes from his mean human and finds refuge with a kind boy named Timmy. The narrative teaches young readers about the importance of love, kindness, and second chances. The book's message is clear: everyone deserves a second chance at happiness, just like Roscoe. Roscoe's 2nd Chance is not only a delightful story but also a valuable lesson in compassion and empathy for young readers.
Hey, kiddos and fellow animal lovers, let me tell you about the coolest dog ever! Roscoe's 2nd Chance is like a warm puppy hug in book form. Roscoe, this awesome doggo, had a not-so-great human, but he was determined to find his happily ever after. When he meets Timmy, a super kind boy, at the park, it's like fate had a plan.
Why should you read this book? Because it's all about love, kindness, and giving second chances. Kathryn Bryan spins a tale that'll make you smile, and you'll root for Roscoe to find his forever home with Timmy's family. This book is like a big, fluffy reminder that love and friendship can change lives, even for our furry friends. So, if you're a kid (or a kid at heart) who believes in the magic of second chances, grab Roscoe's 2nd Chance and get ready for a heartwarming adventure!
The charming cover of "Roscoe's 2nd Chance," which showed a cute Boston Terrier, made me want to read the book. I have a Boston Terrier myself, so I knew I had to. It was even more special because I was looking forward to telling this sweet story to my own animal friend.
Kathryn Bryan wrote the book, which is the second in the Roscoe series. It tells the story of Roscoe, a sweet Boston Terrier who moves in with a person who doesn't care about him. When Roscoe's owner turns mean, the story takes a sad turn, and the little dog has to run away bravely. This sets the stage for a moving meeting in the park with Timmy, a nice boy.
What happens is a beautifully written story about love, strength, and how a second chance can change your life. For Roscoe, Timmy and his family are the answer to his prayers because they give him the love, care, and warmth he so badly needed. The book does a great job of showing how lonely it is and how happy it is to find a forever home.
The writing is simple but vivid, which makes it a great book for kids four years and up to read. The story is supported by colourful pictures that really show Roscoe's trip. This makes the experience more real for both young readers and adults who read aloud to them.
"Roscoe's 2nd Chance" does a good job of getting across important ideas like kindness, understanding, and how important it is to look out for animals in a way that its target audience can understand. Children will find Roscoe's character appealing, and they will likely relate to his problems and be happy for him in the end.
As I read, I liked both the cute story and the deeper lessons that are relevant to both kids and adults. It's easy to remember how much love and kindness can change the lives of our four-legged friends when we look at their relationship.
Overall, "Roscoe's 2nd Chance" is a great book for kids to read, and for dog owners like me, it adds a special level of connection through the shared experience of having a dog as a friend. That love can last forever and that everyone, no matter how small or furry, deserves a second chance at happiness are shown in this touching story.
