Book Description:

Bentley’s Best Birthday Ever!

Bentley is back, and it’s his birthday! Bentley is excited to share his special day with his new friends, but they are nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Bentley meets Bella, a lost dog whose family has recently moved to Bentley’s neighborhood. Tia, Bentley’s Fairy Dogmother, and the Dog Pack have a BIG secret! They are planning a surprise birthday party for Bentley, and when Tia is around there is always some magic. Wait till you see Bentley’s reaction to his surprise party, and especially to the special guest that Tia brings!

This book once again highlights Bentley's kind nature, and also shows that moving to a new neighborhood can be fun! Beautifully illustrated by Anne York, Bentley fans will not be disappointed as they follow Bentley's latest adventure. 

My Thoughts:

Bentley is back and it his birthday. He is very excited to share his special day with his friends, but they are nowhere to be found. This makes him very sad, and as he wanders around, he meets Bella a new dog to the neighborhood who is also very sad. She is lost and really missing her old home and friends. But under Bentley's care Bella is helped and her family and home are found which happens to be right next door to Bentley's home.

Meanwhile, Bentley's friends have not forgotten him at all. They are just busy planning an amazing surprise birthday party for him. They are decorating and finding the very best gifts they can find for their special friend. And surprise, Bentley realizes he was never forgotten. This really is the best birthday for Bentley as he has his friends, and a new one, and Tia the dog fairy has an especially special gift for Bentley.

This was a cute puppy story book for kids that has really good lessons on what we think are our disappointments but can really turn out to be blessings in disguise.
