The Puppy Adventures of Porter and Midge is a picture book that introduces the principles of puppy training and conditioning to young readers. This is great for families who are first-time dog owners and children who are learning the finer points of pet care. Having not owned a dog myself, I found this to be a very interesting and educational read. Readers will definitely need to note the regulations regarding animals in businesses in their hometowns, but I do love the way that important information is relayed in a very understandable manner.
There was a moment where the reading flow felt a little off on a page due to the word placement. This is something I just tend to be hyper-aware of since I do a lot of work with comics. I'm used to following certain directional cues and those did lack on one page. However, this doesn't detract from the broader story and isn't an end-of-the-world issue. It's just something that I noticed that threw me off for a quick moment.
Overall, I liked this book, I liked the art, and I love how informative it is. It is educational while still giving kids lots of cute puppies to look at. I think this is a great book that would be awesome to have available in shelters or veterinary offices for families adopting and caring for their first puppy. I give The Puppy Adventures of Porter and Midge a Lone Star rating of ✯✯✯✯ stars.
