I'm a mom to three wonderful kids who begged for a dog for years. When I and my husband, Mohit, finally relented, Simba, a Golden-doodle, joined our family and our lives were changed forever.

I was born and raised in the Philippines. In 2004, I moved to the US with my husband, lived in Boston, MA and had Sanjay. Then, we moved to Charlotte, NC where Sachin was born. Then we moved to Randolph, NJ where Shyla was born. Simba happily joined our family when we moved to Glen Mills, PA.

I love reading, traveling, gardening and running marathons.

The great love of a smart dog!
I love the whole story. I can’t count how many times I smiled and uttered “Awwws” every time I turned a page. I just fell in love with Simba and Shyla’s appreciation of Simba. Simba was so smart to prove that he didn’t eat the book! I’m so touched with the ending of the story.I highly recommend this book to all dog lovers! Young and old! Most specially to dogs parents with kids.

I bought this book for my nephew already knowing it is a great book from reading all the positive reviews. To my suprise, it was better than I expected. The illustrations was adorable and the story was engaging. It was fun for him to listen and for me to read to him. It was exciting to learn how Simba worked so hard to find Shyla's project. We could not wait to turn the page to find out what happen next. Can't wait for the next book. After the story my nephew told me he want a Golden Doodle for Christmas. Oh boy.

What a wonderful book. Simba is a worthy lead “dog” character. There should be lessons learned in each book for kids, and this book clearly has one. It is an easy read for both parents and toddlers alike. I can’t wait for the next one (hoping the author decides to make it in to a series).

Illustrations were excellent too. Simba is so cute and adorable. Looking forward to Simba t-shirts in the near future.

This book is so much fun and heartwarming to read! Kids can easily relate to the story of Simba and his quest to find Shyla’s missing school project. Also, kids will appreciate the importance of having a “Simba” 🐶 in their lives is better than any gold star ⭐️ for a school project!!! I cannot wait for next Simba series from this author!!

As my own children have grown, I'm always looking for a good find to give as a gift to others' children. This book has an entertaining story and wonderful illustrations. I will be buying more of the same book and more of this author's books to come.
