The book that I am reviewing today is a children's book written by J.R.R. Tolkien of the "Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings" fame. "Roverandom" was written after Tolkien's little boy lost his favorite toy dog on the beach. The family searched diligently for the toy dog, but they were never able to find it. Tolkien wrote a story of all the adventures the little toy dog experienced.
Rover is a small pup when the story begins. He runs afoul of a wizard who turns Rover into a small, toy dog. Rover is purchased for a little boy who misplaces Rover at the beach. From this point, Rover goes on a series of adventures as he hopes one day to be returned to the form of a real dog.
On his journeys, Rover meets the Man-in-the-Moon and his Moon-dog. Rover also travels to the Isle of Dogs, and he has adventures with the Mer-dog under the sea. I won't give away the ending, so read "Roverandom to find out if Rover makes it home.
I really liked this book. It was a fun adventure story that I think children and adults alike would enjoy.
P.S. -- I would like to ask for you prayers once again involving bad weather in my area. The National Weather Service is predicting flooding rains again. Please pray that this does not materialize. Thank You.
