I, Cosmo by Carlie Sorosiak is a moving, funny, and tender story for 9-12 readers, with a wonderfully unique hero and an incredible voice.
Currently being championed as Waterstones’ Children’s Book of the Month, I, Cosmo is Charlotte’s Web meets Little Miss Sunshine – a beautiful and heartwarming story of one dog’s attempt to save his family, become a star, and eat a lot of bacon.
Narrated by Cosmo himself, this book has struck a chord with people and pups alike! And today we thought that we’d share some of the wonderful dogs that have gone barking mad for I, Cosmo!
I was an inspiration for I, COSMO. I can tell. That funny moment with the raccoon? Ha! I love raccoons.
What’s the funniest thing you’ve seen a dog do?

Biscuit insists the #ICosmo by @carliesorosiak should leap straight to the top of my TBR pile and of course I have agreed. (How could I not?) Review to follow in @uksla School Librarian magazine. @Joyisreading @NosyCrowBooks pic.twitter.com/trm6VLYjpH — Emily Marcuccilli (@EmilyMarcu) August 9, 2019

Have you seen our Children’s Book of the Month? It was a hit with Bob! The story of one dog’s attempt to save his family, become a star, and eat a lot of bacon. Cosmo’s family is falling apart. And it’s up to Cosmo to keep them together. He knows exactly what to do. There’s only one problem. Cosmo is a Golden Retriever. Wise, funny, and filled with warmth and heart, this is Charlotte’s Web meets Little Miss Sunshine – a moving, beautiful story, with a wonderfully unique hero, from an incredible new voice in middle grade fiction – perfect for fans of Rebecca Stead and Kate DiCamillo. #icosmo #carliesorosiak #nosycrow #bookofthemonth #waterstones #waterstonesbolton #dogsofinstagram #bookstore #bookstagram A post shared by Waterstones Bolton (@waterstonesbolton) on

Sam’s found his new favourite book! Our Children’s book of the month is the brilliant ‘I, Cosmo’. The story is narrated by Cosmo the dog, who’ll doggedly love his family ’til the end and will use all his dogged determination to stop it falling apart. A great read for everyone – and dogs too! #icosmo #carliesorosiak #childrensbookofthemonth #nosycrow #bookstagram #waterstones #waterstonessouthport #dogsthatread A post shared by Waterstones Southport (@waterstonessouthport) on
