This book was a super cute journey about a dog finding love! I started this book late the night before writing this review and if I hadn't been extremely tired I would have finished it in one sitting. During the course of this book we follow a terrier named Calypso who goes through a lot of trouble and obstacles to find his friend that he met by chance. I loved the friendship that Calypso and the other animals in the story created and I wish it could actually happen that way in real life. I loved the fact that the author incorporated foreshadowing too with the missing dog poster that we knew about but didn't see again until the end of the book. This definitely ended happily and I would recommend it to anybody!

This was such a cute, fun story!

It follows a dog who got lost because he was chasing a rat, and can’t find Dylan, his owner. And how he finds his way.

This really short story really worked for me, since first of all, I absolutely love dogs, and I love it when in stories, different animals become friends and help each other out.

Overall, it was a really sweet, fun read that I think children will love.

This was such a cute story. I think any child would love to have this read to them or pick it up as an early book. The storyline reminds me of The Secret Life of Pets because Calypso definitely has a wild time exploring on his adventure!

Calypso is a little puppy that chases a rat into a boxcar and ends up in another city. He meets different animals and people, some who like and help him, others who shoo him away or want to hurt him.
His adventures take him to different places in the city and back to Maple Falls, where he lives with his owner, Dylan. His quest to find Audrey, another cutie doggie owned by Cressida, helps him get back to his own home and Dylan.
The story is cute and fast-paced with a lot of action. The book is probably for older kids as it’s full of text and no illustrations. Guess it’s what parents read as a bedtime story and teachers read in school.
It shows the importance of having good friends and forming friendships with those who are different from us. The book also deals with self-belief and not giving up at the slightest discomfort.
Overall, Adventures of Calypso is a nice and sweet book for kids who like animals.
Thank you, NetGalley and BooksGoSocial, for the ARC.

What a cute story! I love books about animals and this one was a solid 5 star read. It is full of adventure and will keep a child's attention from the first page until the last. I highly recommend this book. I received a complimentary copy from BooksGoSocial via NetGalley and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

A nice story to read to your children or for young readers. As you can imagine Calyso is a dog. Has to be with a name like that, right? I always say that it seems to me every children's book should have a tiny bit of education. This one has some good points about real life. Wonderful discussion starters with your kids or just fun for kids to read.

Cute, entertaining book about a pup and his adventures. My 8 year old grandkids really enjoyed it and the occasional illustration added greatly to the story.

I received an ebook ARC from Netgalley and this is my voluntary, honest review.
