Cosmo's family is falling apart. And it's up to Cosmo to keep them together. He knows exactly what to do. There's only one problem. Cosmo is a Golden Retriever. Incredibly funny, and filled with warmth and heart, this is Charlotte's Web meets Little Miss Sunshine - the story of one dog's attempt to save his family, become a star, and eat a lot of bacon.

I, Cosmo

A golden retriever narrates a hilarious, heart-tugging tale of a dog and his humans as he tries to keep his family together while everything around them falls apart. Ever since Cosmo became a big brother to Max ten years ago, he's known what his job was: to protect his boy and make him happy. Through many good years marked by tennis balls and pilfered turkey, torn-up toilet paper and fragrant goose poop, Cosmo has doggedly kept his vow. Until recently, his biggest problems were the evil tutu-wearing sheepdog he met on Halloween and the arthritis in his own joints. But now, with Dad-scented blankets appearing on the couch and arguing voices getting louder, Cosmo senses a tougher challenge ahead. When Max gets a crazy idea to teach them both a dance routine for a contest, how can Cosmo refuse, stiff hips or no? Max wants to remind his folks of all the great times they've had together dancing -- and make them forget about the "d" word that's making them all cry. Told in the open, optimistic, unintentionally humorous voice of a golden retriever, I, Cosmo will grab readers from the first page -- and remind them that love and loyalty transcend whatever life throws your way.

This was honestly such a cute book. I'm gonna try to get better at doing more book reviews next year. But this book was adorable and I loved it because my dog is a Golden doodle so he is a Golden retriever mixed with a Poodle and his name is Cosmo too (he's also getting old) so it was cute to be like aw sounds like my Cosmo haha. 

Love you Cosmo George Astroid Haase (my adorable little puppy)

I've always been a sucker for dogs on book covers and this was no exception. Going into this read, I was a bit nervous but could you blame me after "Marley and Me". No. You can't. Nevertheless, this family-filled fluff of a tale was a refreshing break from all the overhyped basic reads I have picked up the last few days. This heartwarming story is about Cosmo, a 13 year old 'older brother' who is dealing with the everyday challenges and struggles of his family day to day lives, arguments, fights, and let's not forget to throw in dance competitions. It was such a sweet and endearing to read from Cosmos POV and to see his perspective on things. Despite the fact that this is ideal for children to middle grade, even adults such as myself can still be immersed in this cute and short read.
