Jackpot’s Tail: Lost in Las Vegas — A Review
Not only are Dogster’s great people and pawples, they’re talented too! Jackpot’s Tail: Lost in Las Vegas was written by one of our Dogsters (okay, she let her furmom get the credit). Not only that, but it’s really GOOD, too!
Are you looking for a well-written, fun book that helps kids understand what happens to dogs who go through the rescue systems? Have you recently adopted a furry family member and want to let your not-so-furry young ones know more about how their new furbrother or sister came to join your family? Then Jackpot’s Tail may be just the book for you!
Let me back up and tell you a little bit about Jackpot’s Tail: Lost in Las Vegas. Author KB Sisco, furmom to the real Jackpot and her brother Zeke, has written a touching children’s book about a lost dog, Jackpot. Jackpot is picked up by the dog catcher and, well it does have a happy ending. Melissa R. Sanchez has incorporated some entertaining illustrations that help move along this snappily-written tale (or is that tail?).
Jackpot’s Tail would make an excellent book to give to younger children (maybe ages 5 to 7) to help them understand dog adoption. It would also make a great book for dog rescues and shelters to sell as a fundraiser. It definitely should be carried in humane society stores as a gift item.
I wish that I could get it…but we can’t afford to buy much at all right now…
Being friends of the author and their wonderful dogs, Zeke and Jackpot, we have had the pleasure of visiting them on numerous occasions and have read the book. This book was truly written from the heart and know the family, know that this book only begins to tell the tale of Jackpot and her escapades but really does so in a touching, fun and educational way so that it is truly a keeper for kids and pups of all ages. We highly recommend this book as the perfect gift for the family who has critters and wants to complete the set. Jake, Bob and PITA of Hollywood/Long Beach, California
Jackpot and Zeke have been two of our dearest dogster pals for years. I am thankful for their friendship, and for the compassion that their pack extends to all animals (and humans) in need.
I need a copy of this book for myself, and copies for my niece and each of my nephews so that they can grow in the knowledge of kindness to animals in need.
Thank you, Jackpot, Zeke, and KB for your friendship, compassion, and drive to educate the youth of our country about one of it’s biggest tragedies, the plight of shelter dogs. From shelter dog to sniffing butts with Lassie, you are a true example of a rags to riches pup and it’s wonderful that you are sharing your story.
We love you! Congratulations!
