Woodstock, IL - With gas prices at an all-time high, why not stay close to home and take your kids to meet the "star" of a new, engaging book about dogs.
On Wednesday, March 28 at 7 p.m., Emma, an adorable golden retriever and the star of “My Amazing Average Dog”, along with her human authors, will “paw” copies of the book at Read Between the Lynes, 129 Van Buren Street, Woodstock.
Veteran Chicago journalists Jessica Reaves and Carolyn Starks penned the book because they love dogs, but they also want to inspire kids to write. That’s why the hilariously illustrated book has writing prompts woven into the storyline. And lots of space to record your dog’s special moments.
“The content is imaginative, the tone wry and, at times, hilarious: "What's the worst food your dog ever ate?"
is accompanied by an exceptional line drawing of a dog eagerly sniffing a pail of "20 'loaded' diapers ready 2B chowed." Happily, such gleeful illustrations are featured throughout the book,” Julie Eakin, ForeWord Reviews. 5 stars!
