The Mutts Summer Diaries

Absolutely adorable book. These Summer antics will leave you warmer weather and summer fun. The laughs and love that always feel when reading Mutts Sunday Comics you will find in this book plus some.

This was our first introduction to the Mutts Series. Our kids (6 & 8) are very into comic books like Calvin and Hobbes and graphic novels like Dog Man. They got a kick out of The Mutts Summer Diaries preview and seeing all of their shenanigans. We will have to check out more of these in the future! Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McNeel Publishing for sharing a copy of this with us.

I've always been a fan of Mutts so I was excited to review this collection. Sadly, it's only a sampler so I only got a small taste of the content of the book, but what I saw, it fits with what I love about the comic strip. I do wish it had been clear that it was a sampler and not the whole book as I don't normally request samplers.

Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this sampler in exchange for my honest review.

Good fun, as usual. I’ve loved this series for many years. Love the art, humor, and gentle lessons.

This is a 22 page sampler and as adorable and fun as the daily comics. This sample is as the title suggests related to summer and a couple had me laugh out loud. Definitely a fun read fit anyone who needs a break from real life. Thank you # netgalley the sample and Patrick McDonnell and Mutts for the laughs.

Thanks for the sampler.
This is such an adorable comic book.
Highly recommended for all dog lovers.

This is absolutely adorable. I have always loved Mutts! This was a super cute little read and I will be purchasing it for my mother, who also loves the Mutts comic strips. Thanks for the sneak peek, I loved it!

Lovely and sweet. I love the Mutts and this was very enjoyable.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC

I was interested in this book as I'm looking for some more graphic novel-type books for my son and this one looked cute. It's just a sampler, but it was fun and kid-friendly. I can see both boys and girls enjoying this, especially when it's presented to them during the summer or right when school ends. I will definitely be looking into this author's other works to purchase for my kids.

Cute sampler! The strips were funny and a great way to remember the summer days during this winter. Ideal for pet lovers.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Andrews McMeel Publishing through Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
I have never read The Mutts comics before, but I really enjoyed reading this book. Reading this book makes me want Summer to go ahead and get here already. I can’t wait to read more of The Mutts comic series!

A collection of comics featuring a cat and a dog and their summer adventures (or misadventures).

I just got a sampler of this book from NetGalley and the publisher (only 22 pages out of the 176 pages). I’ll read the rest once the book comes in for our library (we have many Mutts fans who will be eager to eat this up). For this book they’ve selected a variety of Mutts comics that feature summer adventures, woes about heat, ice cream deliciousness, etc. Some of the comics make you smile, some make you shake your head, and some will make you laugh out loud. It’s a great all ages comic safe for any age reader looking for a little fun reading that’s especially good for animal lovers.

No content issues.

I received an ARC of this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Such a cute book! I have many reluctant writers in my classroom. This book will be a great help in inspiring them to write their own comics. I’ve always enjoyed this cartoon, I’m excited to share this book with my students!

I didn't know this comics until finding the book around, but it was a very nice and fun read. With the comics following the cat and dog around, a nice line of art and humor all around, it was a fast and enjoyable read!

I would like to thank Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the chance of reading this ARC in exchange of a honest review!

I really enjoy reading this comic strip! Anyone who owns a cat or dog can relate to these comics. They are really cute and funny. The drawings are done very well with detail, too!

I was sad to see this was just a sampler. I really loved what i read what I read. It was so cute cute to see teh animals respond to the heat. They exemplify what i feel like living in Alabama.

Every morning I look forward to reading Patrick McDonnell's comic strip featuring Mooch and Earl. Generally the mood to be found is sweet, funny and clever.

The Mutts Summer Diaries is the latest compilation to feature these human-like pets. Give this latest volume a try if you enjoy a good natured take on the world around us.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this read in return for an unbiased review.

All I received was a brief sampler of this book, yet it made me smile.
I especially enjoyed it at this time of year when temperatures are struggling to reach double digits above zero, not even to a freezing position.

Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this sample.
I really enjoyed it, I laugh out loud more than reading any other book. I really don't know how to review this comic/graphic novel, because is the first one I'll be reviewing, but I really like it, the writing style is easy to read, is a book anyone, no matter the age range can read. Is something light and funny for when you want to read but don't want to rea anything long or hard or that makes you think. I would LOVE to read the whole book, but I'll have to wait for when it comes out! Can't wait to read more about Mooch and Foo, loved them!

I received a brief sneak peek at this through Netgalley, and all it did was tickle my appetite for more. From the first songbird of summer to Earl trying to convince Mooch to join him in the pool. Earl might consider it, but his tail is not having it.

I'm ready for the rest of the book now.

Note: My review is based on a 22 pages sampler provided by the publisher, not the whole book.

I have read a few of The Mutts compilations as full books in the past and was excited to see this one and have a review copy. I was sad to find out that they were only offering it as a sampler, but that is better than nothing.

From the 22 pages that were offered, I found them fun and in the spirit of The Mutts. Mooch and Earl are themselves and planning for a hot summer with other animals and a pool.

These books are make up of comic strips that can be read as on-offs but also as the book is set up, as their summer months all together. It is a creative way to encompass all the summer issues in one place and I found them fun.

They have me longing for warmer weather.

The Mutts Summer Diaries from Patrick McDonnell is just what you would expect if you are already familiar with the strip.

I enjoy these collections of comic strips but always have a hard time putting into words why I give the rating I do. Basically, if you are familiar with the strip, like the strip, and like to read through a bunch of them in one sitting then the book will meet your expectations. Some are funnier than others, some might be more reflective than others. Such is the nature of a collection of anything, poems, short stories, essays, etc. All in all, these will satisfy any fan with the possible exception of those who just thrive on finding something negative. If you enjoy life, then you'll enjoy this.

If you are a fan of the Mutts series this is for you! The artwork is fantastic and the book is just fun. I definitely recommend!

A 5 star summer comic children AND adults can enjoy. The illustrations are super cute and the characters are so funny. I would read The Mutts any day!

Even though I only recieved a sampler from Netgalley, the comics are nontheless really cute and funny, especially if one has pets.

This was just a quick 22 page sampler, but the Mutts comics are always adorable. Plus, this one is centered around summer.

I got the 22 page sample from NetGalley but even that was enough to know that this is going to delight regular readers and those new to the series alike. Mooch and Earl are not very excited about summer starting so they're figuring out ways to exist whether being in the pool, enjoying a can of cool whip cream, or (somewhat accidentally) sleeping on a popsicle.

Four stars
This book will come out April 9

This was fun and very enjoyable. I think this will be popular with fans and bring in new ones. Having been a fan for some time now I found this enjoyable and not at all repetitive. I felt like I was getting good material.

The Mutt Summer Diaries by Patrick McDonnell is a very cute and funny selection of comics. This was a sampler.

Summer with The Mutts! These adorable pups will steal your heart. Cutely drawn and very entertaining. Fun, clean entertainment.

I love Mutts so very much! I read the strip religiously in my Sunday paper, I own all of the previous Mutts books, and even have Mutts apparel so I am definitely a Mutts fan.

This book continues the wonderfully sweet stories of Earl and Mooch and their friends and family. If you have ever loved a dog or cat, these delightfully darling cartoons will strike a chord with you. Just like pets, they are sweet, funny, and sometimes sad, but always entertaining.

Mutts is one of those comics that is just clean fun. It's safe for all ages to read and is easily relatable, even if the main characters are animals. I do wish there had been some longer comics in the collection, but all-in-all, it was an enjoyable read.

I received a copy of this arc from NetGalley for an honest review. This book is basically a graphic novel with the Mutt's comic stories. Kids will love the humor and as will adults.

Fun book. It was a pleasure to read. .

So Cute! I love all the shenanigans that Earl and Mooch get into and the summer season is so perfect for their mischief. I've been a Mutts fan for awhile and would love to share this book with my niece. Mutts is the escape and joy we need in a world where the news is so sad.
