The Fabulous Bouncing Chowder by Peter Brown 2007A sleep-away for pampered pooches is where Chowder is determined to make a connection with other canines. The camp is called Fabu Pooch Boot Camp, and every breed of dog is present to improve on themselves. Chowder just doesn't seem to fit in, despite his attempts at trying to be more fashionable and less grotesque at the dinner table.
When the announcement is made that a pageant is fast approaching, "Chowder knew he was kind of funny-looking. It was difficult enough being surrounded by perfect dogs, but competing against them just seemed like a lost cause." Join Chowder as he discovers his talent, and strives to win a one-year supply of Snarf Snacks.
The illustrations are full of lights and darks, and there is humor in the details, including the slobber constantly pouring from Chowder's jowls. Watching this rambunctious bulldog's determination and spunk will help your child realize that their special skills are important. Even if we don't always win, we can feel good about ourselves when we make a great effort.
Appropriate for ages 4-8
