We love sharing reader feedback, and this latest review of Charlie, Bob and Me (Harry) Meet Puggles by KidlioMag is one we couldn't wait to spotlight. Reviews not only help other readers discover new books, but they also offer fascinating insights into what captures people's imaginations. Read on to see what this reviewer had to say about their journey through the pages of Charlie, Bob and Me (Harry) Meet Puggles.
Charlie, Bob and Me (Harry) Meet Puggles takes us into the Australian bush for an adventure that’s really about heart. As Puggles, a young echidna, finds himself separated from his family after the Big Wet, three friends — Charlie, Bob, and Harry — join him on an adventurous quest to reunite with his loved ones. Their journey is not just a physical expedition through rivers and bushland but also a heartfelt exploration of what it means to be a true friend.
I love how this story handles disability. It doesn’t hide it, and it doesn’t make it the whole story either. It just shows Puggles as he is: capable, determined, and worthy of respect. More than the adventure, what shines through is the message: friendship means including everyone, caring means showing up, and family is about who loves you — not just who you’re born to.
What I appreciate most about this book is its gentle yet powerful message. It encourages readers to celebrate differences and to seek the strengths in others rather than focusing on their limitations. The lush description of the Australian landscape beautifully sets the stage for Puggles’s adventure, providing not just a backdrop but a vibrant and lively character in its own right.
It’s gentle, hopeful, and celebrates diversity and resilience in the most natural way. A beautiful reminder that when we choose kindness and teamwork, everyone belongs.

Puggles, with his unique challenges and positive attitude, embarks on a journey to find his missing family with the help of his newfound friends.

A delightful story that celebrates diversity, resilience and the bonds that unite us all in the Australian bushland.
