This was a really interesting book。 Out of all of the W。 Bruce Cameron books, this one felt the most real and like I was really there with all of the characters。 It was possibly one of my favorite books。 (I did read it in one of the Dog's Purpose novels, but I'm not sure which one so some parts are different my sister says。) This was a really interesting book。 Out of all of the W。 Bruce Cameron books, this one felt the most real and like I was really there with all of the characters。 It was possibly one of my favorite books。 (I did read it in one of the Dog's Purpose novels, but I'm not sure which one so some parts are different my sister says。) 。。。more

Thanks to Starscape for a finished copy in exchange for my review。I’m a dog person so what first attracted me to this book was the cover。 Is that puppy adorable or what!Author W。 Bruce Cameron’s latest addition to his young readers series is a heart-warming story about a boy and his dog。 Burke uses a wheelchair and wants to train Cooper to be his service dog to assist him when he goes to sixth grade。 Told from Cooper’s perspective the story made me smile and feel empathy for young Burke。 I know Thanks to Starscape for a finished copy in exchange for my review。I’m a dog person so what first attracted me to this book was the cover。 Is that puppy adorable or what!Author W。 Bruce Cameron’s latest addition to his young readers series is a heart-warming story about a boy and his dog。 Burke uses a wheelchair and wants to train Cooper to be his service dog to assist him when he goes to sixth grade。 Told from Cooper’s perspective the story made me smile and feel empathy for young Burke。 I know young readers will love this book。 And if you think you’re too old to enjoy it, I can tell you that’s not so!

It was a very good book。 I really like all of W Bruce Cameron’s books but this one was one of my favorites。

Classic reverie

I enjoy comparing the novel with the children's story, having recently just finished Cameron's "A Dog's Promise" the story was fresh in my mind。 I liked the children's version but loved the novel which is more involved and subject matter too much for young children。 I will compare in my spoiler section but an overall difference is "Cooper's Story" felt like a pure training story without the drama。 One thing I am not a fan of "bathroom talk" which this had a small exchange, even writing this make I enjoy comparing the novel with the children's story, having recently just finished Cameron's "A Dog's Promise" the story was fresh in my mind。 I liked the children's version but loved the novel which is more involved and subject matter too much for young children。 I will compare in my spoiler section but an overall difference is "Cooper's Story" felt like a pure training story without the drama。 One thing I am not a fan of "bathroom talk" which this had a small exchange, even writing this makes me cringe, but in general I thought the story pleasing。Story in short- Burke being disabled since birth looks to train a puppy to help him with many different things。 ❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌spoiler alert❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌ "A Dog's Promise"。 The beginning has Ethan telling Bailey he is needed for another important purpose。The farm is having a hard time from the drone farming making it harder to farm competitively and the troublethat drone farmers do to drainage。Wenling's father working with the Trevinoon the farm。The tension between Grant and Burke, Grant has to do a lot of work with the farm whereas Burke's handicap prevents doing certain things。Wenling is Burke's girlfriend and later becomes Grant's girlfriend and wife。 Ava doesn't interact with the brothers until she is out of college and dates Grant before marrying Burke。 A lot of drama。 The boys' parents divorce and mother does not want。 the kids, she remarried and has girls。 Grandmother dies as well as Lacey。 Cooper dies and Is several other dogs that interact with the brothers。Lacey is another dog too and Cooper changed knows it。Burke wants to get an operation to get out of the chair and is able to walk after。 There is a story line about the older boys and surviving a flood。The school scene with the principal about the same。Right away Cooper knows he needs Burke。 "Cooper's Story" No prior lives of Bailey noted。 No mention of this tension Grant and Burke get along。All the kids stay young and Ava likes Burke right away。 Burke is only friendly with Wenling but Grant likes her。The mother died after Burke's birth。Grandmother and Lacey live。There is no mention of an operation, he has a motorized chair and plays sports。Cooper does not see right away he needs Burke but thinks of Lacey and Ava。There are many more I cannot think of right now。 。。。more

Don’t let the “young reader” designation throw you off - I love this book。 I’m not surprised because I love Everything this author writes。 I love dogs in general and Cooper in particular。 He is so loving and it gave me insight into the service dog world。

“Cooper’s Story” is the children’s version of Bruce Cameron’s moving book, “A Dog’s Promise,” and it is a delight。 Cooper is a husky trained to assist a boy in a wheelchair, and his story will help kids with disabilities feel seen and understood, and help other kids understand what disabled kids go through and how they feel。 As a disabled grown “kid,” I highly recommend this book to all kids disabled or not。 I think like me they’ll fall in love with “Cooper’s Story”!

I was given an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review。 What a gem!As someone who has owned a malamute mix, this cover melted my heart。 But this story, told from the point of view of a working assistance dog to a boy in a wheelchair is not about the dog's breed, it's about the dog's soul。 W。 Bruce Cameron is known for writing books from the point of view of a dog, but what's interesting to me is how this narrative point of view actually illuminates the humans so perfectly。 The I was given an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review。 What a gem!As someone who has owned a malamute mix, this cover melted my heart。 But this story, told from the point of view of a working assistance dog to a boy in a wheelchair is not about the dog's breed, it's about the dog's soul。 W。 Bruce Cameron is known for writing books from the point of view of a dog, but what's interesting to me is how this narrative point of view actually illuminates the humans so perfectly。 The dog can sense the emotions of the humans, and Cameron's people are so perfectly flawed, and so unconditionally loved by their devoted pets。 I laughed out loud, many times。 And then, I was moved to tears。 This book was somehow both soothing and suspenseful。 He's a gifted, gifted storyteller and I remain a huge fan。 。。。more

Thank you to the publisher for this advance read! I don't have kids of my own but I am like, the greatest Aunt in the history of Aunts, and all of my nieces and nephews are getting this book for summer reading。 I'm a huge fan of the "grown up" books of W。 Bruce Cameron, and so I am always introducing kids to this author through these books。 I have created some real superfans!

But the truth is, I read every one of these books before I give them, and they make the most gentle, heart-tugging, often hilarious bedtime stories for an adult。 Cooper is a dog with a very special purpose, he's being trained to be an assistant dog to his boy Burke, who is in a wheelchair。 His journey towards understanding that he is a dog who is not like other dogs, that he is a dog who WORKS is suspenseful, emotional and so satisfying。 Also his devotion to his true dog love, Lacey, is so sweet and adorable。 I found myself rooting for a boy and his dog and a dog and his dog! I also love how this book explores the world of a differently abled child without preaching, because, well, it's told from the point of view of a dog。 Dogs don't see disability, just like they don't see race or a lot of the other things that people get so messed up about。 This feels like a beautiful, classic children's book that will last for the ages。 TREAT YOURSELF TO THIS BOOK! 。。。more
