Review

"Puppies" after "Chicken Soup" Dan Clark, who made a fortune on his "Chicken Soup for the Soul" books is suddenly popular with kids. Why? He wrote "Puppies for Sale" (Dalmatian Press), a charming, heartwarming story that hollywood embraces. The book is in every kid agent's office. -- Los Angeles Feature Syndicate, Week of October 11-16, 1999.

'Soup" author tries a new kind of book Grab your hankies. Dan Clark, the guy responsible for much of the famed inspirational tome "Chicken Soup for the Soul," has cranked out a sweet little kid's book guaranteed to induce more than a few tears. With illustrations by Jerry Dillingham, "Puppies for Sale" is a teeny book--ideal even for preschoolers--that tells about the star-crossed relationship between a dog and a boy, each special in his own way. It's in stores now. -- Detroit Free Press, Monday , September 13, 1999

5.0 out of 5 stars emotional and insightful, December 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Puppies For Sale and Other Inspirational Tales: A "Litter" of Stories and Anecdotes That Hug the Heart & Snuggle the Soul (Paperback)

This book was the perfect follow-up to my viewing of a presentation by Mr. Clark. His personal statements throughout the book are, I believe, meant to give us the perspective of a person who has overcome and accomplished a great deal in his life and are not meant to force his views on the reader. This book, like the author, is truly an inspiration!
