#BookReview-@LoveReadingUK #BuzzBook #Ambassador-‘Jasper the Space Dog’ by Hilary Robinson ill. by Lewis James

Welcome to my third @LoveReadingUK #BookBuzz #Ambassador post!
This time is a little different as I have my erstwhile sidekick, Miss F on board.

Together we read ‘Jasper-Space Dog’ and this is what we thought of this series opener…

About the book…

Jasper – Space Dog is the first in a series of hilarious stories about the ambitions of Charlie Tanner and his dog, Jasper.

Released to mark the 50th anniversary of the moon landings, the story cleverly weaves facts about the space mission with hilarious ideas about space. In their quest, Jasper and Charlie consult space experts to see if Jasper might make history too.

‘Charlie Tanner and his Dog Jasper are keen to find out as much as they can about space and the first moon landing.

Is the moon made of cheese? Can space aliens deliver pizzas?

Did the astronauts see any flying saucers or flying dog bowls?

Mixing facts about the moon landings with hilarious ideas about space, ‘Jasper: Space Dog’ is the first in a series of funny stories about a loveable hound with BIG ideas!’

HUGEST apologies that this is so late in the day, I have been working a 12 hour shift in hospital whilst Miss F, my erstwhile blogger in crime, read the book and wrote her review.

So I hurried home, we chatted and she presented me with her review-pics will follow on instagram, her illustrations are adorable plus it is proof I have not edited a single word.

Take it away Miss F!

‘I like this book because of the tense humour.Not just that, but I also enjoyed the part when the dog thought that a cow actually jumped over the moon.

I rate this book *****’

She was also…beaming with smiles, telling me the pages she liked best and asking me to ask the internet if there will be more(I am hoping there will be more!)

Thanks to LoveReading UK for letting us be #BookBuzz #Ambassadors !!
