Book Reviews of Selby's Shemozzle

Book Review: A Good Entertaining Light Read
Summary: 5 Stars

This is Duncan Ball's thirteenth collection of short stories revolving around Selby the talking dog. These stories are very light and easy to read but still entertaining at the same time. In Selby's Shemozzle Selby's adventures take him down a variety of paths, he goes to a dog food company to complain about the dwindling quality of their product, he falls into a chocolate filled vent at a chocolate factory and is mistaken for a deformed Easter bunny, he is scared by a werewolf movie and assumes a hairy woman is a werewolf, he wins the lottery, decides he wants to meet Sylvia the world's only talking cat, digs up a heap of cash resulting in his masters being arrested and is turned invisible by a very average magician.

A fun collection of stories, I was attracted tp pick this up by the invisible dog factor but now that I've read this I'll check out others in this series as well.

If invisible man type junior fiction is also what you're interested in also check out The Invisible Man's Socks, My Best Friend Is Invisible (Goosebumps) by R. L. Stine, You Are Invisible: CYOA #48 by Susan Saunders, The Invisible Day by Marthe Jocelyn, Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich by Adam Rex, The Invisible Fran (Franny K. Stein, Mad Scientist) by Jim Benton and you can even get an illustrated version of H.G. Wells 1897 classic The Invisible Man (Great Illustrated Classics) as well.
