Life’s lessons come in unexpected and often surprising ways. In the book Chronicles of a Yella’ Dog, the author, Paul Kreiling, shares with his readers the things he’s learned from his lovable, bumbling, joyful, rascally dog Moose while Kreiling was recovering from brain surgery. Illustrated by Akiva Levi, the bright pictures add a cartoon-like, whimsical feel to this quick read that adds to the overall lightheartedness of the book. If you’ve ever owned a dog, you know the joy and simplicity that these animals can bring to both your home and life, and Paul Kreiling does a nice job of captivating Moose’s sage wisdom that is trapped within Moose’s huge, snuffling, galumphing body.
Each lesson is delivered in a small epithet in which Kreiling speaks in a rural voice, adding to the character of the stories and rounding out the feel we get for the curious, multi-faceted Moose. From stories of “The Beginning” when Moose was just a puppy with paws as big as snow shoes, to “There’s a Good Dog”, Kreiling’s version of Moose’s life as it nears its end, we get a real feel for Moose and his master. You’ll learn sweet lessons about being determined, laugh along as Moose gets chased by a feisty neighborhood rooster, and be touched by the companionship that exists between man and dog.
