Middle readers will love it

I work at an independent children's bookstore and read book after book looking for great ones to recommend to our customers. I found this book to be hilarious, uniquely written with comical asides and story related facts, and I'm quite positive 3rd to 5th graders (boys especially) will love this. The voices of the two fleas residing on Barry's head during the course of his "canine problem" added a fun element to the story also. I definitely recommend it.

Barry, Boyhound

Barry, Boyhound was a very interesting and funny book to read. It is one of those stories where you would hate to be in that situation, which makes everyone enjoy reading it. For some reason people enjoy reading about things that other people do that they would hate to happen to them, so this book would be very popular. It is very funny and I had a laugh while reading it. The little parts with the fleas are very cute! It is a perfect gift for kids. India Ainsworth
