This was a great book that i will definitely be buying. The book is diverse and show Jeet and fudge as the create a community library to give back to those in need. This a great beginner reading book as well!
So freaking cute and such an inspiration! Let’s all vote for free community libraries and let’s build a world of new generation readers. I love the concept and Jeet is such an amazing sweet character. Fudge is just too cute!
Waiting for more from the author.
Thank you, Baker & Taylor, Paw Prints Publishing, for the advance reading copy.
Very competent book that shows the virtues of reading and sharing, and the friendships they can bring – as well as some basic knowledge of Sikhism. There's very little to it – a boy sets up a community book swap shelf in his neighbourhood, having seen a kid share books with hospital patients – but what you can get out of it is only going to be limited by what you put in its way.
This one was not only going about showing the importance of libraries But also away to teach kids about a different religions .
I loved this.
Not only do you get some insight on the Sikh religion and culture, but the story is inspired by this little Sikh boy who actually started a community library.
Love love love that at the end there is a little note from him as well as little summaries on what certain terms mean.
I absolutely adore books like this.
Donation is a good work and one should wear this as a habit to make others' life better. Helping needy always makes your life better and mind relaxed.
Jeet has the habit of reading and he does that with his pet puppy 'Fudge'. He, after reading his books, decided to make others donate too, so that the community can be helped with the source of education.
Message given was good and values must be put like this properly in the mind of children.
This is a lovely book.
I loved how much there was a love for books and sharing that love with others.
I also loved the representation and learning about another culture.
A sweet reader, that everyone should read!
Thanks NetGalley for this ARC!

They're back, bigger and better than before. As a family, they build a free library. I noticed when Jeet was going door-to-door his dad was there. The library came about from a TV spot after Jeet saw a kid carrying, yes, books. The story is delightful. No arguing, no sarcasm, no ugliness. It may be a stretch for some people; without being preachy, working together is a reasonable goal. Having a friend is a reasonable goal whether pet or human.
The illustrations are similarly lovely and beautiful.
I was so charmed by the story, I was shocked by the ending. Is it okay for kids books to have cliffhangers? I'm throwing the thought out there, while I ponder the solution.
Loved this, and would gift it to everyone. There is a note at the conclusion explaining Jeet's head wrap. I appreciated the presentation.
