So, all you'll ever see from me is a five-star or a one-star (since no stars isn't a rating, unfortunately).
I rated this novel WORTHY!
I applaud Debbie Dunlap for this refreshing and useful children's book - and that's not because she's a fellow Texas resident! No, honest, it isn't! Not only was it multicultural, and the story both a very positive and a truly functional one, but she was quite obviously inspired to have chosen such innovative artists to illustrate it, too.
If I had a complaint it was with the technical difficulty in reading it on Adobe Reader - the book was too big for it to handle! Maybe that's a positive thing?! The text was out of alignment with the page illustrations, and seemed to be sliding off to the right like it was trying to get away from the dog - but the dog was perfectly sweet, so I don't know what the text's problem was.... What's that lyric to Common People? "...watch your life slide out of view"?!
Seriously, I could not read the last word or two in some sentences. I'm guessing this was simply an issue with the format and the final version will be much-improved. Maybe it would be better on an iPad or some other tablet, but to be truly safe - go with ye olde tyme printe booke and really enjoy the excellent texture. Sometimes technology has a lot further to go than we think it has, huh? I blame Microsoft whether they deserve it or not!
That minor quibble aside, the story was remarkable. A dog, missing his friend when she goes off to school for the day, decides to try to find her, and ends up in a hospital where the resident kids find him a fun companion for the day, and he's reunited with his pet human after all, so that's perfect.
I loved that this felt natural - like it might happen (hey maybe!) and that everyone was included. It felt warm and normal, and right, and you can't ask for better than that. No, really, you can't!
So the story alone would have been inspirational and thought-provoking for any child, but the artwork took it to another level. It has a curious 3D quality to it, but not in the way we've come to think of 3D today. It looked like Lara Agulto and Monica Delgado (they put the O! in artwork) modeled the characters from clay and then photographed them against construction-paper cut-outs for backgrounds. This is something children (with appropriate supervision!) could do themselves. They could copy the illustrations from the book in the same way and emulate this very story. How cool is that? (For the calorific-ally-challenged, that's very cool!).
But I ramble interminably. It was that good. Fresh and inventive. I would have loved this as a kid to the point where it rapidly became more dog-eared than the actual dog (whose photograph is included in the book!) and so worn-out that we would have needed a new one in short-order! So yes, of course I recommend it!.

Jake Journey edition by Debbie Dunlap Monica Delgado Lara Agulto Children eBooks Reviews
Jake is a bulldog who decides he will follow his owner, Carly, to school. Jake follows the school bus but can't keep pace with it. He decides to continue onward. Jake comes to a road that goes in different directions. He decides on which way to go and the road takes him to a hospital (human) where he is given a bowl of water. Jake visits with the patients in the hospital. Carly is asked what was the last good thing that she did and to write it down. It is her homework assignment. Carly realizes that jake is missing and goes out to find him. Does she find Jake?
This story tells us how we can do something good without realizing it as Jake did. It is an excellent story. However it was not easy to read as an ebook because the book was larger than my iPad and kindle. Get the book in print, if possible.

Carly has a school assignment she is finding hard to do. Write a paper about something you have done or still might do that would help someone or something like the world around you. Planning to work on it later she hurries off to school so she won't be late. Unfortunately she doesn't quite latch the gate. Jack pushes it open with his nose. Then off he goes. Off to school with Carly, his adventure begins.
This rhyming story tells the adventure of Carly's friend and pet, Jake as he escapes from the safety of his home and all that he sees on his way to find the answer to Carly's homework assignment. Come along with Jake, the bulldog and see how a few simple acts of kindness and being yourself can brighten the day of many even as it brightens your own.
A wonderfully well done story with simple to understand words make it perfect for young readers. They will enjoy the story even as they may get a few ideas of their own of how they too can do something for others no matter what their age.
CBZ book review---
Jake's Journey
By Debbie Dunlap
Jake is an adorable bulldog who doesn't want Carly,his master to go to school. He misses her when she is gone and wants to go with her so badly. He watches Carly get onto the yellow school bus and decides he has to go too. Jake fusses until the gate opens and he is able to escape.
Jake runs up the road until he comes to a fork in the road. He looks one way then the other. He isn't sure which way to go. The yellow school bus is gone. Jake keeps running but doesn't see it. He is tired and finds his way to a hospital where a nurse befriends him and offers him a drink of water. Soon Jake is prancing through the corridors of the hospital stopping to see children along the way. Jake happily greets each child as he spreads cheer and lavish licks of love along the way.
When Carly arrives home she can't find Jake. She notices the open gate and realizes Jake is gone. She begins searching for Jake. When Carly finds him at the hospital the nurses tell Carly what a great job Jake did with the children. Jake helped the children to forget about their pain and suffering. He made everyone happy and laugh. It's been said that laughter is the best medicine and Jake proves that statement to be true. Bringing joy into others lives helps them to heal and Jake did a great job! I think he deserves a great big bone!
Illustrations are fantastic!
