Poojo's Got Wheels

Praise

Poojo the dog was born without back legs, but this doesn’t slow him down…With sparse text, cartoonish critters, and just the right amount of peril, this readaloud is a shoo-in for storytime. A good amount of the story is told through Charrow’s rambunctious, flowing digital and gouache art… Listeners are bound to want a romp with Poojo again and again.

A dog born without hind legs must think fast when his wheelchair gets a flat tire…With straightforward brevity (most spreads have at most one sentence), the text treats Poojo’s condition with matter-of-fact good humor, simultaneously acknowledging the occasional inconvenience of his disability and demonstrating coping skills. Adding to the cheerful tone, the typeface’s large, well-spaced letters curl slightly at the ends, recalling Poojo’s wagging corkscrew tail. This upbeat tale of an irrepressible pooch is sure to leave readers smiling.
