My Review:

Inspired by the author's furry friend in real life, Webster the Beagle and His Adventures at the River is a charming sequel to Webster the Beagle, which explains how Webster, after getting lost as a hunting dog, found his forever home and turned into a happy therapy dog. Webster's journey continues in the new book with all kinds of exciting activities he engages in with his new owner along the Rappahannock River across the four seasons. He gets to mingle with tons of special animal friends and to bring joy and comfort to his human friends.

The perfect combination of adorable characters, delightful drawings and fascinating adventures makes the book a captivating read for animal and nature lovers. Young readers get acquainted with ospreys, blue crabs, oysters, and rockfish through fun facts accompanied by playful pictures, such as a crab showing off its shiny new shell, an oyster in reading glasses celebrating its 20th birthday, and a rockfish weighing itself on a scale. These creative, lively illustrations not only make the kids giggle but also help them understand and remember the information provided in the text. Besides expanding youngsters' knowledge of wildlife, the story also demonstrates the joy of sharing, caring and finding one's true calling.
