I read this book with my son Theo. He enjoyed this book but not as much as the others. This book could be enjoyed by boys or girls.
This book is a story about a lost dog who is found by a little girl; she takes him home and he becomes her best friend. The book tells the story of the little dog who is befriended by Rosa and she names him Fetch because he fetches her bag, mum's umbrella and dad's slippers. Fetch then becomes helpful around town, fetching and delivering newspapers, magazines and parcels, helping in the shop fetching bags for customers and delivering balloons for birthday parties...
Theo liked the story and thought it was nice the girl had found a friend; he said if he had a dog he would like to call it Fetch. Theo liked the ending because Rosa thought she had lost Fetch but he comes back with a surprise - he has found Lou Lou and they have had five puppies! The illustrations were beautiful, and Theo spent a long time looking at the pictures and asking me questions about them. I would recommend this book to parents with similar age children.
