Honey Moon is home during a horrific rainstorm when she hears howling. She decides that she must help whoever is howling. Honey and her mom find a lost dog in the park by the headless horseman statue. Why is there a headless horseman statue in the park? Even though Honey becomes attached to the lost dog, she and her mom take the dog to the dog shelter. Honey meets a girl who volunteers at the dog shelter. Honey is surprised she doesn't know her. When Honey goes home, she is trying to figure out what to do this summer when she comes up with doing dog walking to earn money. She gets her friend Becky to help with the advertising and the actual job. Will they get any dog-walking jobs?

In this illustrated story, I find myself laughing at the adventures she has with Becky. I felt for Honey when she had to leave the dog at the dog shelter. I discovered that Honey is a great friend to have even if mistakes happen. I finished this story with a large smile on my face.

Thank you Netgalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Honey Moon is one of those girl characters any kid associates from the very start - slightly mischievous, curious as hell and eager to get out there and do BIG things, despite what mom or anyone else says.

It brought many smiles to my face reading her thoughts and following her steps.

I think this series is a fantastic start when your little one starts reading by him/herself.

I had trouble getting into this series, but I am sure much younger readers would enjoy it. It seems very funny.

Great middle grade read, I can think of quite a few kids who would love the adventures of Honey Moon and friends!

Honey is looking for a way to earn money. She decides to try dog walking. She gets her girlfriend who is neighbor of hers to go into business with her. But it's harder than it looks...

Rabbit Publishing and Net Galley allowed me to read this book for review (thank you). It has been published.

I love dogs so I had to read this one. The first dog they get under contract is a St. Bernard. They are young girls and this dog is bigger than both of them. When they go to the door to talk to the owner, they almost run away because the dog is taller than they are! But he's fairly well mannered and after a test walk, they agree to take him on.

Their next challenge is a group of three Corgis. Trying to hang onto all three and not get caught up in leashes or tripped is challenge!

Then Titus' sister decides to copy their business. She's got more customers and she lords it over them. The fun part is that she often ends up on her face or her bottom because the dogs are stronger than she is. It's when they both end up on the same street and the dogs decide to play in a mud puddle, they decide they might be friends.

There's a side story about a foster girl looking for a permanent home and working at the animal shelter that's sweet and ends well.

My favorite part is the name of their business: Sleepy Hollow Howlers. This was a great read.

I have chosen not to review this title at this time.

Cute little story about Honey and her adventures. This is a book that I would read for my children if I had any. :) And the best thing about this book, besides that it is about dogs, is the wiener-dog in a hotdog-costume.

This is a cute story with some really great messages. The kids in this book are all very polite and nice, and take care of animals. I really wish there were more pictures though. This isn't really a graphic novel or comic. It has approximately one picture per chapter, which I don't think is enough to break up the text for a book like this.

I requested this book from Netgalley from the Graphic Novels and Comics list and did not expect it to be a full length written children's book so it took me a while to get through it on my computer. Reading on my computer is difficult sometimes.

The book is about a girl names Honey Moon who lives in Sleepy Hollow, a town where it is always Halloween, so weird things happen. I didn't see many of those weird things in this book though. The story starts with Honey finding a lost dog, meeting a new friend, and starting a summer dog-walking business. The obstacles she comes to though aren't really about the dog- walking or the dog she found, but about her new friend - a foster girl. Honey hopes to find her a new home much like the lost dog she found.

The book was cute, maybe a bit longer than I would have liked, but good. The plot was a bit scattered and I would have liked to learn more about this Sleepy Hollow/ Halloween all the time weirdness but that didn't really come up. Overall it was a fun way to start the Honey Moon series.

3.5 stars.
So much appeal for young girls (and boys too). This was such a fun read. I hadnt heard of any of these books before but they are really quite good. I felt that I could get into the story and it helped my attention quite well.

I found the narration stiff and unnatural. For instance, why continually refer to the family members by their whole names? The plot was cute but the writing style left a lot to be desired.

Time was too short for me to read all of this young read - I did get through to about page 80 and hardly anything had happened, so don't blame me on that one. It reads as a lot better than the partner books regarding our heroine's brother, but it's a franchise I really don't care to revisit.

A fun, cute book. It is fast paced and has a unique writing style. I found the names of the Moon characters to be a little silly, but in a good way. I have to wonder if the author knew about the Harvest Moon game franchise when they named a character that. Also the three dogs named Manny, Moe and Jack made me laugh out loud. Did the author see a Pep Boys commercial and get inspired or was the names a 100% coincidence? Funny, none the less.

I like how Honey is inspired to start a dog walking service after recusing Stormy. Honey seems to be a likeable character and I did enjoy how she got along with her family. I liked the hints that her Turtle backpack might be magical, or is it her imagination? I love the friendship between the three main girls and also how it ended with a possible 4th friend.

One thing that I wish would be different is more description. There seemed to be a lot of telling instead of showing, which could make some of the story a little lackluster. However, I will admit there were several times where I find myself smiling. There is something going for it, and I hope the author continues to write stories for children and adults alike.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this book.

When there's a mystery, Honey Moon needs to solve it and she always goes where she's needed. When Honey hears howling during a stormy night in Sleepy Hollow, the town where it's Halloween all year round, she and her mother find a dog out in the storm. After looking after the dog for the night and christening her Stormy, they take her to the local animal shelter to give her the best chance at finding a forever home.

Through this experience Honey comes up with the idea for a dog walking business to keep busy during the holidays and earn some money. Along with her best friend Becky, the business begins and throughout the book there are adventures with runaway dogs, mud puddles, a competition with Honey's arch nemesis, Clarice, and lots of fun along the way.

Honey and Becky make a new friend, Isabela, who lives in a foster home. Isabela volunteers at the dog shelter and empathises with the dogs because she's also wanting to find her very own forever home.

The first in a new series and a companion to the Harry Moon series, young girls will really connect with Honey Moon. She's quirky, is a loyal and trustworthy friend, and loves to have fun and help others. She wears her heart on her sleeve and is someone that you'd want your child to be friends with.

This book subtly teaches children so many valuable lessons and values including responsibility, honesty, bravery, generosity, empathy, resilience, helping others and being a good friend. Throughout the book you hope, right along with Honey, that Stormy and Isabela both find their own forever homes.

The illustrations by Becky Minor (based on the artwork of Christina Weidman) are perfect for the target audience. The use of an illustrated dog tag at the beginning of each chapter is a really cute but effective way of communicating something about the chapter's contents.

I expect young girls to enjoy this book and want to continue reading about the new adventures Honey and her friends experience in subsequent books. I know I plan to continue reading the series. This book is both a fun read and a rewarding experience.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley (thank you very much to NetGalley, Rabbit Publishers and Diamond Book Distributors for the opportunity) in exchange for honest feedback.

Not my style and I was not able to fully commit to this book at all. I did love the artwork, though.

Dog Daze, the first in the Honey Moon Series, centers around the adventures of middle schooler, Honey Moon. The book clearly demonstrates the importance of friendships, bravery, kindness, respect, and commitments while embracing who you are.

I love the early reference by the dad comparing Honey to a "regular Pippy Longstocking." That's exactly what comes to mind when she picks out her outfits like the bumblebee outfit and brings her backpack shaped like a turtle with her everywhere. Quirky, unique and embracing every bit of it...that's Honey!

Super fun to read and a great book to read to younger children as well.

Honey Moon is the name of the title character who is the sister of Harry (and Harvest) Moon. There are a number of books (at least 15) about Honey and siblings in this middle grade reader series.


The writing is accessible and fun, the message is clean and wholesome without being preachy at all. My own kids are mostly grown up, but I could definitely imagine us having read this one as bedtime read together.


In the fun narrative about Honey and friends setting up a summer business as dog walkers, there are more subtle messages about bullying, belonging, confidence, honesty, generosity, friendship, loyalty and being comfortable with who you are. If that sounds like a tall order for a short book, I can only reiterate that the gentle storyline presents fairly difficult philosophical messages without being preachy or monotonous.


The art is whimsical and supports the story very well. I really enjoyed this book.


Four and a half stars!
