Poppy Loves Devon

Poppy is a golden retriever. She is off on holiday with her human family to Devon; a place full of new smells, delicious food and days out to the beach. However, this year Poppy finds herself having to confront a host of differing emotions as she navigates the spooky woods, comes face to face with the ocean, tries to make friends with some farmyard favourites and come to terms with having to share her family with an unwanted puppy!

Poppy Loves Devon is a charming story for middle grade readers, especially for those who adore animals. It is a cosy read that explores different emotions through different scenarios. There is the opportunity to empathise with the characters and I'm sure many readers will recognise the conflicts of emotions that the characters go through.

Each chapter has a gorgeous illustration which really captures the characters. I love the detailed pencil sketches and really looked forward to finding the next one. This is the second book in the Crazy Cream Adventures but can be read as a standalone.

I look forward to reading about Poppy's next adventure.
