Praise for Fizz and the Police Dog Tryouts: Volume 1
"Fizz's adventures are essentially straightforward whodunits but with imaginative and whimsical glimpses into the canine lifestyle and various riffs on the value of family, friendship, teamwork, and even seeing the strengths in one's rivals-in Fizz's case, a literally massive adversary named Amadeus. The vocabulary and lighthearted themes are accessible to elementary grade readers while providing an engaging story. The experience is enhanced by King's vibrant, well-integrated illustrations, reminiscent of Quentin Blake's work in Roald Dahl's books. VERDICT A bit fluffy, like a sweet-natured lapdog. With all the excited energy of a happy puppy, these books are a fun and furry bunch." -- School Library Journal
"Young readers will love this spunky underdog as he chases his dream ... This ball of fur is a ball of fun." -- NC Teacher Stuff
"After reading FIZZ AND THE POLICE DOG TRYOUTS, newly independent readers will be eager to read the three other simultaneously-published Fizz Police Dog adventures." -- Literacy Daily
