I recently received the latest Cooper and Me book, Cooper and Me and the Military. This is the third book I have read in the series. You can read my original review of Cooper and Me here, or my review of Cooper and Me and the Winter Adventure here.
So far I have enjoyed these books, and so have my children. They have been thrilled to read them and keep asking which one they are getting next! I love that the books are actually written and illustrated by a child, Alexa Peters, who was only 11 years old when the first book was written in 2010. My only concern about this book is that it is about two children whose mother and father both serve in the military. I just found it sad that the children had to live with their grandparents while both parents were deployed. It does allow children to see what a sacrifice must be made to keep our country safe.
The story is all about a dog named Trooper who is friends with Cooper. Trooper is adopted by Gracie and Joe and their parents, who are serving in the military. According to the publisher, each Cooper and Me story teaches an important Life Lesson and features interactive materials at the back of the book to drive the message home. Included are activities that help children name and process their own feelings about what they've read. In this book, the children learn that their parents love them, even though they are far from home.
