About the Book:
This is an engaging story for children to read or have read to them about a lost puppy. Hopefully, it will encourage young ones to think about the story when they come upon a stray dog or cat; and seek the guidance of an adult in helping to find it's family...or new home.

This is a really cute story from a lost dog's point of view. My youngest daughter asked a lot of questions while I read the story to her because the illustrations are loaded with que details she is learning to use when reading books. We had a lot of fun talking about the two dogs in the story and why they were doing certain things. She also had a lot of questions about animal rescue and asked if we can go visit our "no kill" animal shelter to see if we could be foster parents to dogs. This made me smile. 

My daughter was able to relate to the story easily. She said she liked learning dogs can get scared just like her if lost. She also said it was good Mr. Pupples listened to his mommy about staying in one place until someone found him. LOL - it was nice to see the lessons we have been teaching her were easily re-enforced with this cute picture book.

Interview Friday with Mikey Brooks, author & Illustrator

VS: I want to thank you for being my guest here on The Writing Mama today. How long have you been writing? Mikey: I started writing when I was about 14 year old. I lived in a rural town in Missouri and our nearest neighbor was about a mile away. So friends were hard to come by. I fell in love with stories like Narnia and the Wizard of Oz and wished I could escape to these worlds. I had a hid out in the woods that surrounded our farm and I wrote about a world that existed in the reflection of a pond. I have a lot of fond memories about those woods. VS: What inspired you to write your books? Mikey: My children are the inspiration behind a lot of my stories now. Bean’s Dragons is based on my daughter and her imaginary dragons she has flying, parading, and trashing throughout the house. She was kind enough to let me glimpse into her world for just a moment to capture the magic within. My girls also love ABC books and shows. Because I love fantastical creatures, I wa...
