Pugtato, Let's Be Best Spuddies is an adorable sequel by Sophie Corrigan. Due out 30th March 2021 from Zonderkidz, it's 24 pages and will be available in boardbook format.
The text is positive and upbeat, with sweetly silly rhyming text, and
adorable illustrations. The characters are clever vegetable/animal
hybrids (Pugtato, Tweetroot, Tomatoad, and others). The story follows Pugtato as he and his friends have fun, make music, and play.
With so many varied characters, the potential for silly read-along
voices is stellar. There are lots of small details in the drawings providing lots of potential for hunt-and-find during storytime. It might be
important to some readers to know that although Zondervan is a Christian
publishing house, there is no overt Christian branding or proselytizing
included in this book. The messages are of kindness and compassion, playing nicely with others, and being good to one another.
Four stars
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher.
