Jake is one of the best stories I've ever come across that's been written specifically for the reader just starting to fly. The antics of Jake appeal to boys and girls alike, which gives it tremendous cachet. His transformation from the lovable rascal, but undoubted underdog of the canine fraternity, to the ending where 'e finds himself celebr'ted at Crufts makes for a wonderfully satisfying tale.
