Mrs. R. Snugglesworth, Attorney-at-Law
Written by Amy Flanagan
Illustrated by Jon Davis
Ages 5+ | 90 Pages
Publisher: Whitefox | IBN-13: 9781915036094
Mrs. R Snugglesworth is 70 pounds of low-to-the-ground PRECIOUS. She is the Best at Finding Slightly-Used Sandwiches and the Best at Loving Ham—and now she’s looking for her next big challenge. To her surprise, she finds it at the local Bark Park, when she discovers a passion for the law. Dog law, that is.
In two wags of a tail, she enrolls at Wagsworth Legal Academy, eager to become a lawyer. Turns out, it’s not that easy learning to be the Best at Law School. But when Mrs. R. learns that her friend Pitter-Patter needs help, she can’t wait to take on her first case. Only one small issue: she hasn’t quite finished her law degree. Some dogs might consider this a problem, but not Mrs. R! After all, Pitter-Patter needs a lawyer, and she is ALMOST a lawyer. Which everyone knows is practically as good as being a lawyer, right?
She’ll just juggle her law classes, naps, walks, power naps, chasing tennis balls, snacks, naps, and work on Pitter-Patter’s case at the same time! What could possibly go wrong?

ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR
Jon Davis is an award-winning freelance illustrator living and working in Cumbria, UK. He always loved drawing as a child, thinking up characters and stories – paints, pencils, felt tips, crayons, anything would do. So he decided to study Illustration at Glyndwr University, Wrexham. He works digitally in Photoshop with a tablet and pen because the ‘undo’ function saves him from the depths of frustration.

REVIEW
Mrs. R. Snugglesworth: Attorney at Law reimagines the world of law and detective work and applies it to the canine world. The canine's idea of law and judicial practices may not completely match the human version as the reader is shown through a dog's perspective and experiences. Children will enjoy the humorous storytelling in this book from the way dogs leave messages to the charges that other dogs will bring to court against their canine friends. This book will be loved by early chapter book readers who enjoy books on animals. This fun book also introduces children to the idea of lawyers and judges practicing law. The characters in this book are fun, interesting, and entertaining for young audiences. Young audiences will love the humor in the story and how the plot moves forward. The story is light-hearted and age-appropriate for young elementary age students. The illustrated pictures in the book are eye-catching and illustrated in a fun and engaging manner. Children will be drawn into this story and love how it moves from one scene to the next. The scenes are told in such a way that kids will not find the story dry or boring. Overall, it's a cute and entertaining chapter book for kids.
