Thank You Charlotte Walker and https://www.lovereading4kids.co.uk/ for  offering me opportunity to review this book as LoveReading Book Buzz Ambassador and providing me with copy of the book to read and review.

 
Jasper - Space Dog is the first in a series of hilarious stories about the ambitions of Charlie Tanner and his dog, Jasper.
Released to mark the 50th anniversary of the moon landings, the story cleverly weaves facts about the space mission with hilarious ideas about space. In their quest, Jasper and Charlie consult space experts to see if Jasper might make history too.
 

Blurb

Charlie Tanner and his Dog Jasper are keen to find out as much as they can about space and the first moon landing. Is the moon made of cheese? Can space aliens deliver pizzas? Did the astronauts see any flying saucers or flying dog bowls? Mixing facts about the moon landings with hilarious ideas about space, 'Jasper: Space Dog' is the first in a series of funny stories about a loveable hound with BIG ideas!


My Review

 
Jasper- Space dog is a great book with beautiful illustrations as the Charlie and his dog Jasper wants to learn about space mission of first moon landing with interesting questions like if moon was made of cheese?, if Pizza delivery was possible in space, etc.
 
I really liked how the author had used letters to show the communication between the characters. My favourite character  is Jasper- the space dog as he is very interested in learning about space like me. My favourite part of the book was to read about the exciting facts about the Apollo 11 space mission of moon landings.
 
This is a brilliant book because it is full of real interesting facts about first moon landing mission with help of letters which Charlie and his dog Jasper sent to Dr Isabella the rocket scientist asking funny questions. I really enjoyed reading this first book in series of Jasper the dog and can't wait to read other books in the series. I would like to recommend this book to everyone as it is both funny and informative book.

Thanks to Rachel from Rachel random resource and Author Elizabeth Jade to provide me with a copy of "Akea His Mother’s Son" which I really loved reading. Blurb Akea is no ordinary husky and taking her place as Wolf Queen was just the first step in the journey set out for her by the Great Wolf. Akea's world turns upside down when humans raid their home, scattering the pack and capturing her hybrid son. Salvador struggles to adjust to a life in captivity quickly realising not everyone approves of his mother's rise to Wolf Queen. When the Great Wolf sends him warning dreams, Salvador discovers his true purpose for being there. “Ms Jade perfectly captures the atmosphere of life as part of the wolfpack and its many challenges. Her stories remind me of Jack London’s Call of the Wild, and with ‘His Mother’s Son’ she proves she not only has a knack for creating realistic and powerful characters, but a talent for describing the wild settings they inhabit with a natural con...
