Book Overview:

Written by Susan Marie, the book is the second in the Miss Olive trilogy in The Doggy Diva Diaries, which is recommended for ages four through nine.

Miss Olive Finds Her Furever Friends continues the story of a little Italian Greyhound with three legs who is adopted by a loving family in the award-winning first book in the series, Miss Olive Finds Her Furever Home.

My Review:

In September 2019, I reviewed a book called Miss Olive Finds Her Furever Home. I loved the cutesy illustrations and the overall theme of the book.  Now I've had the privilege to read the second book in the series, Miss Olive Finds Her Furever Friends.

This book follows Miss Olive as she becomes acquainted with her loving family.  Then it's Miss Olive's birthday and, on her way for special treats, she comes across a dog park.  All of the dogs, with the exception of two, are happy to see Miss Olive.  One brave dog comes across and stands up to the bully dogs.  It's there that Miss Olive realizes how happy she is to be around others of her kind who celebrate in her special day.  It's a short, sweet story that's sure to make any young animal lover happy.  Beings that it's based around Miss Olive's birthday, this book would make a great birthday gift for a young child.  Not only do they get to read the story, they will also learn about the real Miss Olive who the book is based from.
