Trooper at the Beverly Hills Hotel

by Susan McCauley

How can you resist this cover? This title will be adored by both children and adults who know what it means to love a dog and be a recipient of that dog’s love. This book is based on a true story. It is beautifully illustrated and nicely written.

Trooper lives in Montana but needs to travel to California when his owner needs open heart surgery. Trooper faces his fears in getting on the plane and goes on to charm everyone at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Readers will be charmed as well.

Luckily Trooper’s owner gets better and they are able to return to Montana. There is a nice message through Trooper about how friends can be made in more than one place.

The end of the book includes photos of the real Trooper and other information. Adults may be a bit teary as they read this.

Many thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this title. All opinions are my own.
