Customer Reviews

My children found the story and pictures very interesting.

Although the story of children losing their beloved pets may sound disheartening, Austin From Boston is a joy. Watching the children play with their pets brings back great childhood memories. Not only are you reminded of growing up with pets, but more importantly, growing up with friends. My children and I found ourselves drawn to the characters Sean and Katie. If you are looking for a good "bedtime" book, Austin From Boston comes highly recommended.

Engaging and enlightened; vibrant illustrations

This a neat tale of a kid, his friends and their pets. It has a positive message of affection, and the graphics and colors will hold your kids' interest after many readings. The text has a nice flow to it as well.
