The Mutts Diaries {Review}
I can remember reading Mutts to my children since they were little. It was one of their favorite Sunday cartoons. Now or soon to be available in a book format is the comic strip that has cheered kids and adults for decades.
The antics and silliness of the characters just makes you laugh out loud. I enjoy that the little stories reach each of us on a different level. What may make my little ones giggle may have me rolling my eyes while something they think is just cute has me rolling on the floor in laughter.
The author, Patrick McDonnell has captured our hearts over the years and this book will certainly be one that we will be buying as soon as it hits the shelves.
Book Description:
The first Mutts collection in the AMP! Comics for Kids series!
The beloved characters in Mutts have a special appeal to kids. The warm humor and friendship between unlikely characters create a special blend. Earl is a small mutt with a big heart who cheerfully tugs at the leash on the walk of life. Earl is Mooch the cat’s innocent friend, as well as a witness to Mooch’s antics, and is sometimes a reluctant participant. Mooch has a fuzzy way of thinking and exclaiming “Yesh!” when really excited. Lively, animated, confident, and silly, Mooch is a smorgasbord of emotions who dances with enthusiasm and sings a lot. Mooch is the curious instigator of action, while the ever-loyal Earl often gets pulled into the fray.
Created in 1994, Mutts appears in more than 700 newspapers and in 20 countries. McDonnell has received numerous awards for this strip, including the National Cartoonists Society’s highest honor, The Reuben, for Cartoonist of the Year, six Harvey Awards for Best Comic Strip, Germany’s Max and Moritz Award for Best International Comic Strip, and the Swedish Academy of Comic Art’s Adamson Statuette. Mutts has also won awards for its environmental and animal advocacy, including two Genesis Awards from The Ark Trust, The HSUS Hollywood Genesis Award for Ongoing Commitment, the PETA Humanitarian Award, and a Sierra Club award.
This book is scheduled for release in October of 2014. Make sure you grab a copy for your home! Presales are open now on Amazon.
