I thought that this was a lovely story

The characters in the book are great and Beau is lovely. We follow his story and emotions in the book after he mistakenly gets on a bus when he is playing hide and seek with his owner and best friend Jasper. The story has a nice ending.

The story is well written and it is easy to follow and the illustrations are wonderful and they worked really well with the story.

It is 5 stars from me for this one - very highly recommended!

I read this with my younger brother. I felt that the book was too short and would have liked it to be a longer so the story could feel complete. The art style was very cute and my brother enjoyed the art.

Pretzels and Adventure is a cute book with wonderful illustrations. My grandchildren loved Beau's adventure and we have read this book several times.

Very forgettable look at a puppy's adventures, when it's playing around the new farm it now lives at, mistakenly gets on a train, and from then on is lost. It sounds harmless enough, and it is, but there's no indication of the threat of the train before it's been taken, there's little logic in the girl getting an overnight bus to the seaside when it's pouring with rain, and so on. There's little rhyme or reason to the coloured fonts used, either. The artwork seems to have obeyed one remit – "must show the mutt by concentrating on vividly green googly eyes, at all expense" – for that's what's been done here. And I'm saying 'remit' as if it was all an instruction to an AI, both the text and the art – I'm not stating this as a firm accusation, but I am saying there were things here that left that impression. And whatever the circumstances, that can't be an indicator of a great choice of reading.

Beau, a cute puppy, finds himself on quite the adventure trying to make his way back to his family. While playing hide and seek with his human family he accidentally gets on a bus all by himself. He sniffs his way around looking for his family. Happy ending! And he likes pretzels :)

I wasn't a huge fan on the art style and the story was kind of jumbled. There were some things that just didn't make a lot of sense, like getting on the bus so far away from their farm and ending up on the bus with a girl headed to the beach. The setting just doesn't add up and wasn't realistic, in my opinion.

A fun adventure story about a lost puppy making his way back home to his family. It was written clearly and could easily serve as a springboard for a number of important discussions. Illustrations were bright and colourful.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

Indigo River Publishing and NetGalley provided with a copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review, so I would like to say thanks to them!

This was such a cute story. Beau is at the park playing hide and seek with his owner, but gets lost. He goes on a few adventures trying to find his family and we get to hear all about them.

I enjoyed this book so much that I read it to my 5 year old daughter as well. She doesn't normally have the attention span to sit down and listen to a book, so I was shocked by her reaction to this one. She was very invested in the story and kept inching closer and closer to my iPad. She loved the illustrations as much as she loved the story. At the end of the story, she told he that it was her favorite story in a long time.

A game of hide and seek sends Beau on an adventure to find his way back to his owner Jasper when a thunderstorm splits them up. Follow along with Beau to find his way back to the farm. This book was perfect for us at the moment as my granddaughter really wants a dog and the illustrations of Beau were absolutely adorable she really loved his big puppy eyes.

Pretzels and Adventure, the next story that Hasti and I read together is about Beau, a very lovely puppy who loves pretzels, plays and adventure, actually his adventure was more like lost in the city but was cute and happy anyway.

Thank you to Indigo River Publishing via NetGalley for ARC, Hasti and I give our honest thoughts, Pub Date 30 Apr 2024

This book in physical format would be a delight for any child.
It’s brightly coloured, vibrant and lots of detail in the pictures, so, I think this would be great even before a child can read it for themselves. It will give endless of pleasure.

So the family move….
The colour RED is involved
The game HIDE AND SEEK
And smell
And getting lost.

I can see lots to talk about within this little book.

This was a cute story about a dog and his owner .There are also lessons to be learned .Beau loved pretzels and his owner Jasper .Beau smelling pretzels got him on a train away from Jasper .He was sad .He did get pretzels from girl on train then set out to find Jasper .The illustration was on point .A good book for kindergarten age group children .

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC! This is a very cute book that shows the bond between a dog and his owner. The illustrations are wonderfully drawn. Amy Howard did a great job outlining Beau's adventure. The paragraphs are short enough that it's easy for kids to follow.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with this arc in exchange for my honest review.

This was an okay story that might be liked by kids who love dogs. It just didn’t make much sense at all. I kept questioning things more than enjoying this story. I did enjoy it but it could have been better.

Beau is a clever and adorable dog who gets lost while trying to find his owner when they’re playing hide and and seek. They stopped at a park on their way to their new home so nothing in the environment is familiar to Beau. We follow the adventurous but short story of how he finds his way back to his owner. I liked his encounter with the sweet girl on the bus.

The images were the best part of the story. I thought the actual story itself was cute, but not great. My kindergarten son was not impressed. It didn't hold his attention. He said it was too long.

This was a cute little story. We have a basset hound as a part of our family so my kids enjoyed this even more since the dog looked like our Ollie.

Beau goes on an adventure after finding himself lost.
Beau goes on this big - colourful and dramatic journey to find his family after losing them during a game of hide and seek.

Story was very cutesy, art was nice but not to my taste - my two year old will love the dog but I don't imagine she will be able to read of throughly enjoy this book until she is quite a few years older.

Thanks for this x

Such a precious story with cute illustrations that so wonderfully reflect the emotions of the dog and his human. A quick but engaging read as the wandering dog romps through several adventures.

Thanks to NetGalley and Indigo River Publishing for the opportunity to read this sweet ARC.

This book was greatly loved by my 5 and 6 year old! The illustrations were captivating, and the story was a lot of fun! We will read this many more times!

The illustrations were absolutely everything in this book!! However, I do think there was too much text on each page so it took away from it. With children's books, there's the beauty of storytelling through pictures, and I think this story could have used a little more subtlety. But I did love seeing this little dog using his sniffer to find his way back home. I think my biggest critique has to be the beginning - I couldn't figure out who was Jasper and who was Beau. It would have made more sense for the dog to be named pretzels, I think. Considering this reads like a K-2 book, those specific details and background building might get lost during a read aloud.

Overall it was adorable. I would definitely recommend, and can see myself buying this for my classroom library.
