Michael, age 5, and Mia, age 13, review “Nate The Great and The Big Sniff” in this video. “Nate the Great and the Big Sniff” is a great book about Nate and his very important detective-dog. But Nate’s canine assistant disappears. What should Detective Nate do? As Michael says, Nate “imagin-ates” being a dog to solve the case.

In this review, the interviewer talks too much and gets corrected a few times by Michael, the expert. For example, this isn’t a mystery; it’s a case, he tells her.

With these reviews, we hope to inspire other young readers with Michael and Mia’s enthusiasm for books. In fact, we visited our first school yesterday and shared our story with second and third graders. The kids were so enthusiastic! More to come in an upcoming blog!

Watch Michael and Mia’s review of “Nate The Great And The Big Sniff” here:

In the review, Michael refers to a dog that died. He’s talking about the fact that the author dedicated the book to a dog that passed away.
