Title: Mrs. R. Snugglesworth, Attorney-at-Law | Author: Amy Flanagan | Illustrator: Jon Davis | Genre: Chapter Book | Publisher: Whitefox | ISBN-13: 9781915036094
Book Description: Mrs. R Snugglesworth is 70 pounds of low-to-the-ground PRECIOUS. She is the Best at Finding Slightly-Used Sandwiches and the Best at Loving Ham—and now she’s looking for her next big challenge. To her surprise, she finds it at the local Bark Park, when she discovers a passion for the law. Dog law, that is.
In two wags of a tail, she enrolls at Wagsworth Legal Academy, eager to become a lawyer. Turns out, it’s not that easy learning to be the Best at Law School. But when Mrs. R. learns that her friend Pitter-Patter needs help, she can’t wait to take on her first case. Only one small issue: she hasn’t quite finished her law degree. Some dogs might consider this a problem, but not Mrs. R! After all, Pitter-Patter needs a lawyer, and she is ALMOST a lawyer. Which everyone knows is practically as good as being a lawyer, right?
She’ll just juggle her law classes, naps, walks, power naps, chasing tennis balls, snacks, naps, and work on Pitter-Patter’s case at the same time! What could possibly go wrong?
My Thoughts: Mrs. R. Snugglesworth, Attorney-at-Law is a wholly-unique story about a dog training to be a lawyer. But this dog isn’t just an dog, this the BEST American Labrador retriever for many wonderfully doggy things, like being precious, finding slightly-used sandwiches and top secret sock collecting. When her best friend, a Great Dane named Pitter-Patter, is wrongly-accused of destroying a toy, Mrs. R. Snugglesworth jumps at the chance to take on her first case and prove his innocence. With tons of wordplay — peemails, for example — the story is fun to read and introduces children to the genre of legal thrillers in a gentle, funny way.

About the Illustrator: Jon Davis is an award-winning freelance illustrator living and working in Cumbria, UK. He always loved drawing as a child, thinking up characters and stories – paints, pencils, felt tips, crayons, anything would do. So he decided to study Illustration at Glyndwr University, Wrexham. He works digitally in Photoshop with a tablet and pen because the ‘undo’ function saves him from the depths of frustration.
