My Review:
As the first in the travel-themed picture book series, The Tales of Charlie Wags: New York City offers a delightful and dynamic introduction to a good number of iconic landmarks in the City of New York.
Charlie is an adventurous pup, who loves to travel around the world using his secret magic trick. A simple wag of his tail teleports him to Central Park, where he kicks off his day trip in NYC. As he moves from one stop to the next, Charlie experiences different aspects of the city, from skyscrapers to street vendors, from ferry rides to Broadway shows, and from breathtaking scenery to colorful nightlife. The fun never ends.
With cute characters and vibrant as well as realistic illustrations, the book draws young readers in instantly. Following the paw prints of their furry tour guide, they get a close-up view of world-famous tourist attractions, along with art, food and various cultural activities the city is known for. But that's not all the book has to offer. A plethora of fun facts await them in the "Paws and Learn: Landmarks Unleashed!" section. The vivid, humorous descriptions make the facts easy to digest and memorize. While they quench the inquisitive minds' thirst for knowledge, the questions that follow help spark conversations that little ones would be eager to participate in.
Informative and engaging, The Tales of Charlie Wags is a fun-filled, fantastical read for aspiring world travelers and adventure-lovers. It not only highlights the wonders of travel but also inspires us to explore and experience different cultures around the globe.

About the Author:
Sister-author duo Sofie Wells and Ali Barclay form the writing team behind The Tales of Charlie Wags picture book series.
As daughters of immigrants, their family heritage exposed the sisters to the importance of cultural diversity early on. Their parents prioritized showing them the world, even on a tight budget, instilling in them the idea that travel is one of the best forms of education.
Knowing that not all children had the chance to explore the world firsthand, they put pen to paper to create a tale about a globetrotting dog. They hoped their story would allow young readers to experience the wonders of the world without ever having to leave their homes.
Their series mission is simple: provide a conversational understanding of the world’s most famous cities through charming stories that make far-off places accessible to every child and family.
