Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers: TCBR AWARENESS TOUR: Mrs. R. Snugglesworth, Attorney-at-Law by Amy Flanagan

HI there!

Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.

For today's second tour, I am pleased as punch to bring you a selection currently making its way through the blogosphere with The Children's Book Review. It's a book that easily fits into both the Children's Fiction arena as well as Chapter Books. The first would be for the length of the story, and some of its complexities, while the latter would also be for the length of the story, style, and wonderful illustrations included throughout. Whatever way you shelf it, it's one that you'll want to be acquainted with so, SIT...STAY...and let's get between the pages of today's book of choice...

Mrs. R. Snugglesworth, Attorney-at-Law

About the book...

Mrs. R Snugglesworth is 70 pounds of low-to-the-ground PRECIOUS. She is the Best at Finding Slightly-Used Sandwiches and the Best at Loving Ham—and now she’s looking for her next big challenge. To her surprise, she finds it at the local Bark Park, when she discovers a passion for the law. Dog law, that is.

In two wags of a tail, she enrolls at Wagsworth Legal Academy, eager to become a lawyer. Turns out, it’s not that easy learning to be the Best at Law School. But when Mrs. R. learns that her friend Pitter-Patter needs help, she can’t wait to take on her first case. Only one small issue: she hasn’t quite finished her law degree. Some dogs might consider this a problem, but not Mrs. R! After all, Pitter-Patter needs a lawyer, and she is ALMOST a lawyer. Which everyone knows is practically as good as being a lawyer, right?

She’ll just juggle her law classes, naps, walks, power naps, chasing tennis balls, snacks, naps, and work on Pitter-Patter’s case at the same time! What could possibly go wrong?

Oh my goodness, this book was adorable!

Okay, so not in the picture book filled with colorful illustrations and rhyming verse sort of way, but in the longer story for readers with a little more attention span yet not afraid of fun illustrations peppered throughout kind of way. Mrs. R. Snugglesworth was a doll...I mean, dog, and she was indeed PRECIOUS as self described. She wanted to do what's right by her friends, family, and those in her doggy-hood, so when the moment to help others came along, she took it and ran like a dog off leash in a dog park...which in fact she was, but it happened to be the home of Wagsworth Legal Academy too, so it makes perfect sense. Following her nose to justice is harder than it seems as she tries to master the art of law in only a few days time not only to gain her "license", but help represent her friend in a case of mistaken intent! She's got a lot of work cut out for her, but if anyone can do it, it's Mrs. R. She is the best at most things, and I'm pretty sure being a BEST FRIEND is one of them.

Readers young and young at heart will enjoy getting to know Mrs. R on a one to one basis, and learning the ways of the dog. Who knew there was a Bark Park court? Never was the importance of pee-mail so clear! Have you ever considered the sheer art of appearing invisible? The exuberance of Mrs. R in her newly chosen career is contagious, as are her messages of never giving up, always fighting for the little guy, and following the right path even when it's harder than giving up a partially used peanut butter sandwich that may not be the best dining choice. Give yourself over to the power of the court and trust in the process to deliver you a story worth barking over!

Snugglesworth, Attorney-at-Law in early 2021 to stay busy during the long pandemic winter. She wanted to create something that would make kids (and adults) laugh out loud.

About the illustrator...

Jon Davis is an award-winning freelance illustrator living and working in Cumbria, UK. He always loved drawing as a child, thinking up characters and stories – paints, pencils, felt tips, crayons, anything would do. So he decided to study Illustration at Glyndwr University, Wrexham. He works digitally in Photoshop with a tablet and pen because the ‘undo’ function saves him from the depths of frustration.
