PAW Patrol: The Movie: Big City Adventures

Chase, Skye, Rubble, and the rest of the pups come to the big screen in PAW Patrol: The Movie, an all-new theatrical event. Mayor Humdinger is causing havoc in Adventure City. Liberty rushes to help the PAW Patrol. Can Ryder and his heroic team save the city from the meddling Mayor Humdinger in their greatest rescue ever? 

This full-color storybook has all of the PAW Patrol working together to keep the city safe. This time, Liberty, “an honorary member of the PAW Patrol,” joins in to help. Street-smart Liberty uses her knowledge of the city to help save the city’s dogs from Mayor Humdinger’s goons.  

In Big City Adventure, Ryder and Chase have a disagreement, and Chase runs away. Chase then gets dognapped and put into dog jail. When Liberty shows up to help free the dogs, Chase says, “I used to think I was a hero. It turns out I’m just scared.” This causes Chase to feel as if he doesn’t deserve to be rescued, but Liberty reassures him that “Heroes get scared. But they push through and keep going. That’s what makes them heroes.” 

PAW Patrol fans will love reading about the pups’ newest adventure and enjoy meeting the new addition to the team, Liberty. However, Big City Adventure is intended to be read aloud to a child rather than for the child to read it independently since each page uses complex sentences and difficult vocabulary. Each page has a large, brightly colored illustration that shows the PAW Patrol in action. The illustrations clearly show the characters’ emotions through their facial expressions, thus giving adults an opportunity to discuss the characters’ reactions to the events in the story. 

Big City Adventure will get young readers excited about reading as it teaches the importance of teamwork, communication, and being a good citizen. The familiar characters prove once again that evil can be thwarted. Watching the movie or TV series isn’t a prerequisite for reading the story. However, the story will leave readers eager for more PAW Patrol-inspired books, which can be found in Paw Patrol: Chase’s Space Case by Kristen L. Depken.
