I received a free copy of, Hendrix and Rocket:Halloween Hijinks, by Kristin Haynes, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This is the third book in the, Hendrix and Rocket series. Its Halloween and Hendrix and Rocket are dogs who celebrate Halloween. This book is so cute. the illustrations are great and I loved the story.

I'm so ready for the fun Halloween books! This is really cute -- imagine a dog who loves getting dressed up and going trick-or-treating. When his treats disappear, he gets angry at first -- but there's a wonderful happy ending. A great lesson on making friends who are different from us

Adorable Halloween themed book for little readers with incredible graphics and a fun story. Would definitely purchase for my kiddo. Thank you to the author, BooksGoSocial, and NetGalley for the e-galley!

I Thank you for the ARC. We love dogs and Halloween in this house so this was a fun read. I don’t think giving a dog a chocolate bone is appropriate though and may give kids the idea it’s ok to feed chocolate to dogs. Otherwise it was a cute book with fun pictures.

Cute and fun, I read this to my niece Susie and she loved it. Would recommend for any little one in your life.

This was a very cute Halloween read. The pictures were adorable and the story enjoyable. My favorite part was the fact page at the end and pictures of some costumed pups.

I'm obviously a sucker for anything dog but team it up with Halloween and it's a win-win for me. Such a fun time of the year and, well, why shouldn't out furry friends be allowed to enjoy it, too. I did do a double take on the idea of a chocolate bone for a dog treat but reassured myself that there really is such a thing, only it used carob as a substitute ingredient rather than the "bad for dogs" chocolate. Phew, doubt checked that just to be sure. Was actually surprised how many varieties there are available, in fact.

In any case, a fun read with equally fun artwork. I especially liked the use of the rocket graphic for Rocket the dog and a guitar for Hendrix, rocket's canine buddy that pops up in spots in the book. I'm thinking the author, who turns out to live in Tasmania, is a big fan of, well, I bet you can guess. Points I especially liked were the list of things to remember before heading out to trick or treat, the focus being on safety. You'll note that even Rocket and Hendrix abide by the rules even to the point of wearing a head light, so to speak. Benny the Bat obviously doesn't need that. He's a cutie and, yes, there really is such a thing as a Tasmanian long-eared bat. They rely on pests such as insects and the like for their diet, however, not candy carob beetles. Grin.

Bottom line, a fun, quick read that will entertain both Halloween and dog fans, not to mention, I guess, bat fans. A bit of suspense but not intense and definitely conveys the lesson of not eating everything at once, no matter how good a reason you think you may have. Hendrix certainly learned that lesson and loved the subtle hint of Rocket for him to stay close to the doggie door when they got home. The real pix of dogs at the end was a bonus treat.Thanks #BooksGoSocial for the fun reminder that one of my favorite fun seasons is approaching. Time to start stockpiling some candy and, hmm, maybe some carob doggie bones as treats?

The illustrations are cute on this one, but some of the words were a little big and having the dog like chocolate bones is kind of a scary idea because chocolate is toxic to dogs and you don't want kids to sneak them any candy bars. I really liked the bat and the idea to not eat too much at once though.

this book was super cute, especially the illustrations. there are a few grammatical errors such as when Hendrix is thinking, it switches between no quotes to in quotes later on. however, since it's a kids book, i don't think that will matter to them too much. :)

it's a cute read perfect for spooky season!

I thought this was super cute and the art style was so much fun!! My only concern is for this being a kids book the dogs recieving chocolate bones may give kids the wrong idea and they may poison their own dogs on accident. Maybe having them be pumpkin bones or yogurt bones would be better for kids to read. They are very influential after all. But the story was very cute and I think teaches kids to not eat everything at once to ensure they are the only ones to get the candy. I loved the inclusion of the actual puppies at the end of the book and seeing the dogs the story is based off of.

Great story book about Hendrix and Rocket. Fantastic illustrations with bright and engaging colors. This is a great Halloween read for kids. Might stop them from eating too much candy or beetles in the case.

As an educator, found the font very dyslexic friendly. Very accessible for a young reader.

I absolutely loved reading this children's book to my 4 year old. He loved the "doggies" and the Halloween themed pictures. I used it as a teaching opportunity to show him that eating alot of the candy can make you have an upset tummy. Also, it gave me the idea to buy treats for dogs!
