The Adventures of Blue, Blue Gets His Magic Collar is a nicely illustrated sweet story.The book combines the beginning of Peter and the Wolf and a bit of The Wizard of Oz, all in a good way. Blue gets a magic collar that allows him to swim under water and he has a fun adventure. The book is just about the right length to read as a bed time story. I liked the illustrations a lot; they had bright colors and were well drawn.The author is British, and there may be slightly different grammar rules in England. The perfectionist in me found a few errors and turn of phrase that I didn't love. This is a minor distraction. I guess when a children's book has so few words and sentences, it seems a good idea to make them all perfect.This is a sweet enjoyable book. Blue is a fun dog.I was provided a sample for review.
