I had a wonderful opportunity to review 2 books written by Jennifer Swanson from her Penny & Rio series. My boys and I realy enjoyed reading these books together. These were the first books that I've read to them that had chapters. They loved that it had chapters because we would read a couple every night before bed, and they couldn't wait for the next night to see what happend next!

Jennifer based Penny & Rio off of 2 dogs that she owned. Guess what their names were. Ha, yup, Penny & Rio! Penny & Rio are always in search of adventure! Well, mostly Penny, but Rio steps in from time to time to help. My boys really loved that they were detectives! They usually run around the house saying that they are super agents, so they were totally into the mysteries in the books. Both books have won the Mom's Choice Awards, and I see why! I can't wait to see what happens next with those 2 loveable pups!
