Simon brings home a puppy that he names Echo. She is a crossbreed and her mother is a Collie but what breed is her father? Follow Simon in this tale of one boy and his dog.
Echo the Cooshh is a very short 9 page book that is the first in the series of 11. Because I have a crossbreed dog myself called Charlie who is a Pug/Shih Tzu and this book was FREE, I downloaded a copy.
Echo the Cooshh is a book for children or the very drunk. Clearly Jacqueline made book 1 as a freebie in the hope that people would like it and maybe purchase books 2 to 11 for 99p each.
As a business model, making book 1 in a series FREE to download is a brilliant, everybody-wins idea.
Echo the Cooshh however is NOT a book for a 62 year old adult. But this short book is okay for children under 5 years of age or the very drunk. It is told in very simple language, it has a nice range of sounds and is how young children or very drunk adults talk.
There is no plot to Echo the Cooshh and it is simply an introduction to the series about living with a crossbreed dog. There is a little magic in this very short story that should appeal to children under 5 years of age or the very drunk.
My big problem with this series is value for money. Books 2 to 11 bang out at 99p each, yet most of them are less than 10 pages long. This is far over-priced for this volume of content, so sadly I say AVOID this 1 star read. Readers should get value for money with their hobby and Jacqueline does not give you that. Although J. K. Rowling charges a fair price for her books, she has plenty of pages that gives her readers hours of pleasure.
Echo the Cooshh is available as an Amazon Kindle eBook and was written in 2014.
