AdoraPet BOOKS REVIEW + GIVEAWAY (4 WINNERS)




The creator of Adora Pet, YiShaun created Pima Puppy and Pico Puppy as the embodiment of children's natural curiosity, imagination, and sense of adventure. Pima and Pico are a little girl puppy and boy puppy who love going on adventures and sharing them with your child through their themed books and dress-up toy outfits.

Throughout the AdoraPet books, Pima Puppy and Pico Puppy have many different experiences that range from the imaginative, like the Mermaid Adventure, to the intrepid, like the Astronaut Adventure, to the practical, like Visiting The Dentist, learning valuable lessons along the way about friendship, helping others, and being true to their own uniqueness. These same lessons, books and toys are what YiShaun hopes to share with her own children one day.

My Review: The minute I opened up the package for these adorable little books my 2 and 4 year old wouldn't put them down. I must have immediately read them to them at least 1/2 dozen times! They couldn't get enough! my daughter loves The Pima Puppy Adventure, it not has brightly colored pictures but it teaches about all the ballerina terminology. My 4 year old loves anything pirate related so Pima Puppy and Pico Puppy's Pirate Adventure was perfect for him - it was simple, easy to follow and fun to read. My personal favorite as a homeschool mom was Pima Puppy and Pico Puppy's Astronaut Adventure. Especially the awesome photo's of the solar system, were each planet is in conjunction to earth. All of these books are very educational and fun to read!
