My Review

How can Charlie Wags travel all over the world? Is it his magic tail? When he wags his tail, he’s able to go to Paris. With all the beautiful places to tour in Paris, Charlie Wags is able to visit the most iconic spots there. With a little map, the reader can follow the paw prints around Paris to see where Charlie walked.

This is one of the prettiest books I’ve seen! The beautiful illustrations are soft and include many pastel colors and flowers. As make-believe books do, this book allows children to use their imagination. Charlie is an adorable dog who lives an amazing life, and I think children will wish that they could travel with Charlie. The rhyming in the book will be a favorite with young children, who will want a parent to read this one over and over.

I would love to share this book with my grandchildren, and I think you’ll love it!

Publisher’s Book Summary: Charlie Wags is a seemingly ordinary pup. He asks for belly rubs, plays fetch, and uses his “I’m innocent” look when he is in fact guilty.

But Charlie has an extraordinary secret. He loves to travel the world and has a special trick to do so: his wagging tail can whisk him away to far-off places.

This time, he’s off to Paris, France!

Embark on a panoramic tour of Paris led by ever-curious pup, Charlie Wags! From the elegant art in the Louvre to the sparkling Eiffel Tower, Charlie explores the City of Lights before returning home for bedtime.

Wherever you may be, The World Is Just a Wag Away ™

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Sister-author duo Ali Barclay and Sofie Wells form the writing team behind The Tales of Charlie Wags picture book series. The series offers young explorers a conversational understanding of the world’s most famous cities.

As daughters of immigrants, their family heritage exposed the sisters to the importance of cultural diversity early on. Their parents prioritized showing them the world, even on a tight budget. This instilled in them the idea that travel is one of the best forms of education.

Recognizing that not all children had the chance to explore the world firsthand, Sofie and Ali saw an opportunity to share their travel experiences with other families and children through charming stories that make far-off places accessible.
