Synopsis
When a young pup is found alone deep in the forest the woodland creatures decide they must help find him a place to live. But when disaster strikes it looks like it’s going to take a miracle to save Bandit and his dream of finding his forever home.
What follows is a story of friendship, kindness and helping those that need it most.
Review by Stacey
Author M.T. Sanders, known for his children’s books featuring his beloved Newfoundland dog Monty, has released a new book, Bandit Lost in the Forest. Sadly Monty passed away in 2022 and Sanders is now introducing us to his new Newfoundland, Bandit, in this stunning tale. Monty fans need not worry though as he makes a brief appearance but it is Bandit that takes centre stage in this first book featuring the new addition to the Monty Dogge series.
Written in a rhyming style, the story unfolds with Bandit being discovered alone in the forest by a squirrel. Despite the forest animals’ efforts to care for him, they lack the proper environment for such a large puppy.
I found the story to be a heart-warming and beautiful introduction to Bandit. I’m sure Fans of Monty will adore him with the same affection. As with Sanders’ previous books, the illustrations have magnificently been created. They are bright, colourful, and full-page. Plus, they capture the essence of the text perfectly.
Overall, Bandit Lost in the Forest is an adorable tale that fits perfectly with the author’s previous children’s books. I can’t wait to read about Bandit’s adventures in further books as I’m sure he will be just as hilarious as Monty was.
