"Paul Hock’s picture book Snowflake the Christmas Beagle is a charming story. Told in simple language so young readers can easily follow, the plot follows Snowflake during his first year of life. The author introduces young readers to beagles, sharing some interesting facts about this breed. There is a fun-fact page at the end with even more tidbits. The colorful illustrations help move the story along. By sharing stories of some of the fascinating things Snowflake’s siblings do, the author introduces young readers to therapy dogs, search and rescue dogs, and champion show dogs. The author also shares some intriguing facts about the origin of dogs. This is a most engaging and educational read."
