It addresses bullying and settling in at a new school. ===== Reviews: "This is one of those books that you just don't want to put down. From the first page it was great. My kids enjoyed listening to this and it prompted a very nice lengthy discussion after we were finished with it. I would highly recommend this book to parents. Although this is a longer book, I found it a nice way to spend an afternoon with my kids." "This is a perfect family book." "Who wouldn't want to have a speaking dog and learn to know what his/her furry friend really thinks? The book also gives a lot of opportunities for (grand)parents that read this book with their (grand)children to start conversations about so important topics like bullying in an easy way. Highly recommended!" =====

They can let you know when they're happy, sad, or excited. I've always wondered what they would be like if they could talk. I think they'd be quite difficult to live with, they'd rarely shut up!I loved the book that the Disney film 101 Dalmatians was based on. The animals talk in that. It's really good. I grew up wanting to write a book like that. Mo is my attempt!Does Mo have the usual Disney sad bit?Not really. It's sad that he is abandoned by his first family, but that's for his benefit - it's a poor home and the children of the family save him by taking him from there. But I don't like sadness in books, there's enough of it in the world. This is a happy book, with a bit of adventure and danger, and a little about bullying. I don't like sad books and I promise Mo will never die - but he will have lots of adventures!Are you writing more books featuring Mo?Yes, a follow-up - Mo Goes Wild - will be available soon. It is set in Wyoming.__________FOR PARENTSAs a Mum and former teacher, I always look for stories that engage children's imagination, keep them turning the pages and asking questions. I feel books should be entertaining first, but also stretch their thinking and help them deal with some of the issues they may face. In this book, that is bullying.Mo is in the 8-12 reading bracket but children's reading ability (and inclination!) varies. My book-mad daughter would have wanted to read this book when she started reading on her own at age 5-6 - and that would be fine as there are no upsetting scenes in it, although it is rather long for younger readers.It's a story I would have been happy to read to my 'Can't-be-bothered-you-read-it' son too!There are no nightmare-inducing scenes. For children, at least. It might be different for parents, as the thought of the dog joining in the chorus of "Mum. Mum. MUM!" is enough to give me nightmaresMy daughter loathed sad stories when she was this age and we spent hours hunting down books that were both happy and appropriate for her age. The trouble is, once children are beyond toddlerhood, they are expected to deal with adult issues in their reading - and often they just don't want to! The bullying in Mo is mild and not upsetting for most readers. I hope you and your little one enjoy reading about Mo's adventures.
