Readers' Favorite Review for Scampy's Merry Christmas
Reviewed by Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers' Favorite
"So many pets are abused, abandoned, poorly cared for. It’s a tragedy and we need more stories like Robert E. Kearns’ Scampy’s Merry Christmas to help us be more compassionate and caring for our animal friends. The story is basically a narrative, told with care and sensitivity, drawing the reader into the life of a young puppy, first on the farm where he was born, then in the grim living conditions in the city. The plot starts with a happy little puppy, develops into a sad, almost tragic situation, and then reaches its climax with an exciting escape that gives readers, and Scampy, of course, renewed hope, leading to a satisfying resolution. There is some dialogue, mainly amongst the animals, but the story is mostly told in narrative form. Scampy’s story will certainly touch the hearts of animal lovers."
