Book of the Month: Korgi: Book 1



So you probably figured out by now that I'm a sucker for a good dog book and wanted to give a youth graphic novel a try so I came across the perfect fit with Korgi: Book 1 by Christian Slade. As a dog lover, it did not disappoint and I can't wait to get my hands on book two. 

Summary: Korgi is a gorgeously illustrated woodland fantasy about a young girl. Ivy, her Korgi cub, Sprout, and their amazing adventures in Korgi Hollow.

In this first volume in the series, Ivy and Sprout discover some interesting things about themselves as they stray from their village and face danger for the first time. 

 Age Range: 7-10 years
"To be near them, is to feel more alive and happy than one has ever known. This is the great gift of the Korgi. They make the world around them more beautiful."
Illustrator and author Christian Slade has a soft spot for corgis and you can tell in this loving and adventurous graphic novel about them. Discover the place of Korgi Hollow and allow it to take you on a fun, fantasy journey. 

In book one, we meet Ivy and her Korgi cub Sprout. Find out what makes both of these characters unique and special and what creatures they must defend themselves from.  Every page is filled with impressive illustrations that certainly tells a great story and makes you want to read more. 

Ivy and Sprout are learning more about their powers and their enemies are learning about them as well. What will happen in book 2? 

I agree with Goodreads when they suggest young readers who enjoy The Hobbit and Jeff Smith's Bone will appreciate this graphic novel series.
