Review
Lily and JJ, her talking dog, are back! This is the fourth story in this wonderful series, but each adventure can also stand alone.
Dad’s birthday is coming up, and JJ is planning the best birthday cake for him! They also decide to buy him a new drill, after Dad’s drill broke trying to fix JJ’s kennel. The only problem is drills are expensive! $100 expensive to be precise. And with only $8 to spend, they are going to need to come up with a plan!
When the talent show at school is announced, and the winning prize is $100, Lily and JJ get excited. But when it is decided that JJ is too smart for two of the three categories, ‘Public Speaking’ and ‘Dancing’, they are left with only one option – ‘Singing’! But is this one talent that super-smart JJ might not be good at?
After deciding that they are going to give it their all anyway, will a trip to the dentist to fix JJ’s chipped tooth cause them to come unstuck?
In typical Anh Do fashion, this book is full of humorous puns, but it is has strong messages of the importance of thinking of others, friendship and using the talents that you have to the best of your ability. It will be thoroughly enjoyed by readers aged 7 – 10.
