The Boar Family Series is a very heartwarming, imaginative, and tender series that is a great addition to your children's bookshelf and it earns a recommendation from me. ★★★★ - Elijah B. (Explore Authors Magazine) - from review on entire 5 book series. Reviewed by Miche Arendse for Readers' Favorite (4/5 Stars) An adorable story inspired by true events, Boar by Cindy and Gus Gee follows the tale of Neigh T Boar and her journey from a pet store to her forever home. Boar was sitting on a shelf among the dog chew toys when two people entered the store and she instantly knew that she wanted these people to be her parents. Luckily they decide to take Boar home but they didn't know Boar was alive and could speak. After giving a big yelp when the family dog used her to play tug, they finally realized Boar was alive and that is how she became part of the family. Follow along with Boar and her new family. Boar by Cindy and Gus Gee is a sweet and unique story targeted at kids that looks at how you can find a family anywhere. I found the story itself to be quite unique especially when looking at the inspiration for the story. I thought it was really interesting that the authors decided to turn their experience into a children's book. I also think young children would relate in the sense that toys are very important to youngsters and oftentimes are seen as their friends or even family. Seeing how Boar who was mistaken for a chew toy became a member of the family could encourage children to develop their imaginations in this sense. Overall, I think young readers would really enjoy this story for its fun and imaginative plot and lovely illustrations. Review on Book 1- Boar Reviews left on Amazon by readers: Boar (Boar's Family) (Book 1) Tonya Crum 5 Stars -Cute book December 10, 2023 Book for my daughter, age 8, and she really enjoyed it. Easy read for kids. Julie A Quinn 5.0 out of 5 stars Simple but packed with appeal Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2024 On the surface this is a simple story, but on a deeper level it's about so many things kids struggle with: pretending to be who they think their parents want them to be, sibling rivalry and wanting your parents to protect you from the mean older sister, the relief and joy when their parents see and accept them as who they really are. The charming illustrations add to the illusion that boar is really telling and illustrating the story. On the adult level, it will charm anyone whose love is big enough to animate the normally inanimate world around them.
