"Cynthia Anne Finefrock’s picture book, Winston the Traveling Dog, is a charming story about a clever, sweet dog and his love for traveling adventures. This makes a charming kids' version (or pup version) of a travelogue, complete with an encouraging last line: “Anything is pawsible, if you put your mind to it.” (Yes, pawsible is now officially a real word.)" 5-Star Review—Emily-Jane Hills Orford, Readers' Favorite

"(Winston the Traveling Dog) is a lighthearted book that teaches about the world around us that many readers may never experience first-hand as well as how to better themselves by extending outside of their comfort zones." 5-Star Review—Reader Views Kids
