My name is Merlin Raj.
I have a teeny tiny weakness for socks which makes life as a service dog
difficult. Usually, I only have to worry about helping my boy, Matthew, walk at
school. But when my family signs up for their first 5k race, this super-smart
golden retriever who wears glasses will also have to become a racing trainer.
Yikes!
Will Boolean math help
me uncover the heart of a champion?
Appealing to readers of
all ages, Merlin Raj and the Love Me Not Race is the continuing installment in
this ILLUSTRATED chapter-book series. From artists to astronauts, the jobs of
the future will deal with computers.
With a Computer Science
degree and a passion for preparing kids for the future, author D. G. Priya
blends technology with animal stories to stimulate a desire to read. Each book
in the series introduces a new programming skill. If you or your child like
delightful dog tales that explores universally positive themes, including empathy,
kindness, dedication, and the importance of being true to one's self, then
you'll love D. G. Priya's tail-wagging adventure.

EXCERPT:
Yes
meant go. Yes meant on.
I turned on, bounding through the park to the tree. Not too
fast because Matthew still wore the loop of the leash around his wrist. I
galloped as Matthew grabbed the length of the leash and ran behind me.
The Zombie-bunny ducked into the hedges in a desperate
attempt to escape, but I wasn’t having it. I thrust my face, nose first, into a
hedge.
“No, Merlin,” Matthew yelled.
No
meant stop. No meant off.

My Review
Merlin Raj and the love Me Not Race continues the adventures of Merlin Raj. This is such a cute story. I love the character of Merlin Raj and love how the pup teaches children some valuable lessons. It is delightful, fun and entertaining book.
I am giving Merlin Raj and the Love Me Not Race five plus stars. I highly recommend for all young readers. My children thought it was great. It is one not to be missed. I look forward to more of Merlin Raj stories.
I received this book from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
Thanks for hosting!
