I have had the pleasure of reading books by Mother Melania Salem in the past. I have found them to be a delight to read and the characters are good role models. It was an honor to have the opportunity to read their newest release, Best Buddies: What's in a Name?. I was not disappointed. While telling a beautiful tale, it teaches readers - young and old - some important life lessons. Several pages, warmed my heart, while others made me smile. I thought it was a sweet tale to read with my own children. I believe they enjoyed it as much as I did.

Best Buddies: What's in a Name? is beautifully illustrated. The pictures perfectly match the words on each page. They are a great way to keep the smallest of readers to follow along with the story and keep them engaged. They are a fantastic addition to the book.

I am giving Best Buddies: What's in a Name? a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers between the ages of four and eight years old. It would a wonderful placement on children's public library and classroom shelves. I would be interested in reading more upcoming books by Mother Melania Salem to read along with my little ones in the future.

I received a copy of Best Buddies: What's in a Name? from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion. ( )

Are you looking for a cute picture book for your child or children? I may have found one on a homeless person and a little dog. It is called Best Buddies: What's in a Name? It is a short introduction about a homeless person and finding a stray dog. What will they become as they start to bond? Bob decides on a name to call the dog he encounters.

This dog has found a Bob. What is the name for naming a dog? Will he be called Rover or Scruffy or something completely different? You will need to read the book to find out what the name of the dog will be called. Bob seems to struggle one naming his new cute homeless dog.

Children will learn about homelessness and caring for a dog in this sweet, adorable introduction to this book. The pictures are done quite well and are colorful. It is more of an introduction to the series of the main two characters than anything. We are introduced to Bob briefly and to Luke, but this book deals with figuring out what to name the cute little homeless dog Bob found.

What adventures will it hold for them as the stories go on? Children will find this book easy to read and understand as well. Parents will enjoy seeing their children learn about homelessness and other teachable moments. Children may even learn about kindness as well. ( )
