Book Nook: New Books from Mango Publishing

Mango Publishing has a huge selection of books that make great gifts. Books don't take up a lot of space and are both educational and entertaining (and often practical). I had a chance to review several of their newest offerings.

Tricks in the City by Sassafras Lowrey

We recently got a dog, so this was a fun one to be able to review. It has a variety of tricks that are great for any dog, but specifically for urban dogs - tricks appropriate for smaller homes, city streets, and parks. Learning new tricks is great for dogs - it helps them bond with owners, promote mental health, get exercise, and learn control. The author is a Certified Trick Dog Instructor (CTDI). She has trained and competed in sports from dog agility and rally obedience to canine parkour and tricks. Tricks in the City includes an interview with America's Got Talent star Sara Carson and a foreword by Kyra Sundance, founder of Do More with Your Dog! View this book on Amazon!

The Book of Extraordinary Amateur Sleuths and Private Eye Stories by Maxim Jakubowski

My daughter is interested in spies and detective stories, so I was intrigued in this book for her. It contains great stories about crime and adventure, puzzles and detectives. The stories are engaging and intriguing, and I really enjoyed reading them. View this book on Amazon!
