Junior Review: Valerie: Australia's Bravest Sausage Dog

Valerie: Australia's Bravest Sausage Dog is based on the true story of a little sausage dog who runs away to go on an adventure. 

I wonder where she will go? How far will she go? And most importantly, will she get home? 

Read Valrie's story to find out!
What I love about this book is that it sends a strong message that no matter how small you are, you can still go on adventures. 

Kids aged 3-10 will love this book.
