More About the Author

I write about puppies because I love dogs. Dogs are always happy to see you, and always excited about what's going to happen next whether it's a ride in the car, a game, or just cuddling up on the couch. Dogs are also great for telling secrets to, and for comforting you when you're sad.
I live in Vermont, an incredibly beautiful state, and I spend time outdoors every day: I love to swim in clear, cold ponds, bike on shady back roads, hike tall mountains - and ski down them!

This review is from: Snowball (The Puppy Place) (Paperback)

My daughter was in first grade when she started reading these books. She loves this series. They are all adorable. While she is an advanced reader, it is a good book that you can read to your little ones.

The book is about Charles and Lizzy Peterson who love dogs. They want one of their very own but their mom will not let them have one. However, they decide to take care of dogs and try to find homes for them. Snowball is one such dog.

My daughter has read Flash and Goldie. The stories all follow the same premise so, if your child likes one, then chances are that they will like the others. I think it is a bit cheesy but if it keeps my daughter reading then it is a good book by me. Besides, the pictures on the covers are so irresistable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!!!, January 5, 2012
