Reviews
"The Year Of The Dog is a great one. Its tales of childhood friendships keeps you on edge as you wonder what's coming around the next corner. It teaches a lesson to respect your animals, as it nonchalantly teaches you to be yourself and to follow your instincts. This great tale of man's best friend is a must have for all young ones."- The Opinionated Parent
"It's about a boisterous but well-meaning puppy, Daniel, protecting his best friend (an adventurous little girl named Lin), and is unfazed by almost all the creatures that lurk in the forest behind Lin's house. The book is brilliantly illustrated by Jeremiah Alcorn. In their journey together, Daniel discovers his true nature - honest, faithful and loyal."
