• The Adventures of Steven and Diesel on July 17, 2011
  
  This delightful story would make great bedtime reading – a chapter a night – for boys and girls 4 to 8 years old. Young readers who want to tackle a book on their own will have no trouble with The Adventures of Steven and Diesel. An imaginative 8-year-old, Steven, is lucky enough to become the owner of a well-trained but adventurous dog named Diesel. Together they explore, play, and learn, while the reader is presented with a story that flows gently. I would compare this to the calming entertainment of a Mr. Rogers show. There is no real danger, villains, accidents or anything objectionable. The infusion of humor adds to the story and gives a charm that old and young will appreciate. I recommend this book to parents of children learning to read.
