Thunder Pug by Kim Norman

Only show reviews with written explanations

This book is about all guys who struggle with their wives, girlfriends, younger siblings, etc. being successful. When Petunia wins a ribbon, Thunder Pug can't deal with his feelings of inadequacy or being left out, so he works to improve himself by becoming a superhero. He is successful, Petunia shows up to be his sidekick, and all is right with the world again.

I love that he finds a way to be successful without blaming or taking it out on Petunia, but I really wish she could be described as being a superhero in her own right rather than just a sidekick.

The illustrations are cheerful and upbeat, showing the joy of imaginative play with friends.

I saw this book and had to read it. My parents had a little pug dog and she was just adorable. So whenever I come across a pug book I need to read it. It was cute but not much to it. Some of the time it was written in rhyme. I think if you do that it needs to be that way all the time. A good little story about friendship and helping others. I don't know if it will keep kids interested though. I liked the illustrations. Thunder Pug and Pink Lightning were very cute.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!! So cute and adorable! This story is about a pig and a pug that are best friends. It has a beautiful lesson about friendship and helping others. The pictures are ADORABLE but really small, and should be read one-on-one to see all the tiny details.
