The Adventures of Calypso tells the adventurous tale of the eponymous puppy as he is swept away from his home. This story reminded me a lot of the animal stories I read and watched when I was little, Oliver and Company or Aristocats and the synopsis itself states that this is a “Lassie type” book. Perfect for young animal lovers to enjoy.
At 18 pages I think that this book is a perfect bedtime story that can be enjoyed in one sitting and I’m sure will be requested again and again. Focusing on themes such as the value of friendship I think that this touching story would be great to read to younger children or for older readers to enjoy independently. I would have loved to see some illustrations throughout the book to really make the story pop but this is a lovely story of friendship and accepting and celebrating differences.
Being an energetic puppy, Calypso chases a nasty rat into a boxcar where he is locked inside and swept away from his owner. Now alone in a bustling city, Calypso encounters a cute terrier named Audrey. However, she must return to Maple Falls forcing Calypso to decide: stay or follow Audrey?
