Inspector Dewey by Kristen Heimerl, Illustrated by Irene Bofill {Children’s Book Review}

November 26, 2016 by Leila | 1 Comment

Disclosure: Leels Loves Books, on behalf of Life as Leels, received a free ebook copy of this book in exchange for my review.

[show-book title=”Inspector Dewey”]

my-review

Inspector Dewey is a cute children’s book. It has super cute drawings – mainly of Inspector Dewey and his three best friends; Thumper, Lily, and Anna.

The book and story make a great read aloud for the younger kids, but I would recommend that a child probably 4th grade and above could read it without many struggles. Some of the vocabulary is quite large and some of the words are words not commonly used. Even reading aloud with the kids, some words had to be explained.

I think our favorite parts were when Dewey would get excited and use a fish as his saying – “miserable mullet”, “great grouper”.

In general, the book is very readable. The lettering is bigger than normal which makes it easier to read with the kids. It is longer than what my kids are used to reading aloud too, but it is such a fun book to read with the kids and together as a family!

We are cat lovers in our home so reading about Inspector Dewey, Thumper and Lily was something we all enjoyed!

Came home the other day and saw an envelope that s Came home the other day and saw an envelope that said "happy birthday". I got excited that someone sent me an early birthday card...

...except it wasn't for me. It was for Gibbs, our husky... who's birthday is 3 days before mine.

Guess that's what happens when you share your birthday week with the dog. 🤷‍♀️
I personally haven't seen this guy in about a week I personally haven't seen this guy in about a week, but thankfully, hubby saw him yesterday and snapped a pic for me. I swear; Bear gives the cresties a run for their money when it comes to hide and seek!! 🤣
The newest zoo member... not *exactly* what I was The newest zoo member... not *exactly* what I was looking for color wise (I was looking for a gray/lavender, and they seem more red), but I am def smitten. 🥰

This baby is a little spazzy at first but then loves to just chill and sit with me. They aren't quite as jumpy as Aspen (and def friendlier! Aspen still HATES being touched!)

Also, I'm not sure they were well cared for. Breeder said hatch date was 9-8-2022, but they are tiny! Not even the length of my pointer finger!

Anyway, welcome, Leif (pronounced Leaf; thank you, Kadenn...) to the zoo!
Releasing tomorrow!! 😍 I cannot wait!! Releasing tomorrow!! 😍

I cannot wait!!
Pics do not do this baby justice!! And Schuyler i Pics do not do this baby justice!!

And Schuyler is so much more chill than Aspen. I've been able to at least touch them daily and last night, they let me hold them!! HUGE difference from Aspen the spaz who wants no one in her space, none the less touching her! 🤣🤣
