Description

Living life as a bumbling breadbox with fur, was hardship enough for Theodore the Corgi, but when the young dog finds himself cold and alone in a frightening animal shelter, it’s clear that his struggles have only just begun. 

Labeled “unadoptable,” by shelter staff, Theodore mires in the gloom until a kind-eyed stranger with a pocket full of handcrafted jerky and a quirky smile, rescues him with the intent of making Theodore the newest addition to his curious Bookstore. Though overwhelmed at first, Theodore soon finds both his new friend and the odd bookstore are welcoming hosts, despite the Corgi’s run of clumsy mishaps. And while Theodore’s formerly dull and lonely life fades to memory, a new, adventurous one blooms before him—for hidden amongst the dusty stacks of books and things at the Enchanted Bookstore, waits a peculiar little man with a set of the most magical, Spectacular Spectacles imaginable.

Advance Praise

"Focusing on the cuteness and lovability of corgis, this is a story for children and dog lovers about acceptance and understanding. When we meet Theodore, we know that he is well-meaning and yearning to be accepted the way he once was, but nobody is aware of his poor eyesight, Theodore included. By observing and understanding his problems, Sam and the children in his reading group are able to solve them. Aside from the core message of the story, it also is an entertaining read, with full-page illustrations, silly humor, and a touch of the magical and fantastic when Theodore's glasses finally arrive. By the looks of things, Theodore and Sam's adventures are only beginning, but this book is a great introduction to some very memorable characters and one that all dog-lovers will enjoy diving into."

Christmas gift for corgi-loving elementary school teacher; she loves it! - 5 star Amazon review


Theodore is a cute little corgi that had a cruel mistress that left him at the pound after he bumped into the baby too many times. He is heartbroken and giving up on life when he meets Sam, an older gentleman that owns a bookstore. Sam finds a way to Theodore and adopts him as a reading dog. Theodore is still clumsy and bumping into things when it is discovered that he needs glasses. After getting a special pair of glasses both Theodore and Sam start having a magical adventure.

This is a cutest story about a bumbling corgi that had a horrible mistress but found himself a magical world. Theodore is so cute and when he put his glasses on, it was a new world for him. I loved how he found a home in a bookstore, I am so jealous of him.

This is a wonderful story and I recommend it to anyone with a kids or that just loves stories about dogs. I really hope that this becomes a series. I would love to follow along with Theodore and Sam’s adventures. - 5 Star Amazon review
