ABOUT THE BOOK

Mrs. R. Snugglesworth, Attorney-at-Law

Written by Amy Flanagan

Illustrated by Jon Davis

Ages 5+ | 90 Pages

Publisher: Whitefox | IBN-13: 9781915036094

About the Book: Mrs. R Snugglesworth is 70 pounds of low-to-the-ground PRECIOUS. She is the Best at Finding Slightly-Used Sandwiches and the Best at Loving Ham—and now she’s looking for her next big challenge. To her surprise, she finds it at the local Bark Park, when she discovers a passion for the law. Dog law, that is.

In two wags of a tail, she enrolls at Wagsworth Legal Academy, eager to become a lawyer. Turns out, it’s not that easy learning to be the Best at Law School. But when Mrs. R. learns that her friend Pitter-Patter needs help, she can’t wait to take on her first case. Only one small issue: she hasn’t quite finished her law degree. Some dogs might consider this a problem, but not Mrs. R! After all, Pitter-Patter needs a lawyer, and she is ALMOST a lawyer. Which everyone knows is practically as good as being a lawyer, right?

She’ll just juggle her law classes, naps, walks, power naps, chasing tennis balls, snacks, naps, and work on Pitter-Patter’s case at the same time! What could possibly go wrong?

MY REVIEW

Stories from a dog’s point of view always have the possibility of being entertaining. Just think of Hank the Cowdog or J.J. Tully in The Trouble with Chickens and how humorous their interpretations of events and their responses can be. The same is true of Mrs. R. Snugglesworth. She is “seventy-pounds-of-low-to-the-ground PRECIOUS.” (She tells us so herself.) Mrs. R. explains that jury duty at the Bark Park led to her decision to pursue a career as a lawyer. Luckily, law school only takes a week for dogs - and it will need to be quick, because she has her first case before she has even completed her training. The students of the Legal Beagles must learn “Case Law, and Stealth Evidence Gathering Forensics.” Of course, Mrs. R. isn’t worried about being stealthy. She is already very good at “Not Arousing Suspicion” so that she can “sneak extra treats.” But she will need to organize her humans into taking her on walks to gather evidence, make sure she gets to Wagsworth Legal Academy on time each day, and prepare to defend her client against charges of “Intentional Destruction of a Stuffed Animal.” Along with “Being the Best at Finding Slightly Used Sandwiches” we are lucky that Mrs. R. is also “Best at Telling Really Good Stories.” If we are even luckier, she might tell us another one soon.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Amy Flanagan is an Instructional Designer and children’s author living with her family in the Chicago suburb of Batavia. She began writing Mrs. R. Snugglesworth, Attorney-at-Law in early 2021 to stay busy during the long pandemic winter. She wanted to create something that would make kids (and adults) laugh out loud. She is already working on the second book in the “Mrs. R.” series. Like you, she wonders what the ‘R’ stands for.

ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR

Jon Davis is an award-winning freelance illustrator living and working in Cumbria, UK. He always loved drawing as a child, thinking up characters and stories – paints, pencils, felt tips, crayons, anything would do. So he decided to study Illustration at Glyndwr University, Wrexham. He works digitally in Photoshop with a tablet and pen because the ‘undo’ function saves him from the depths of frustration.
