I was expecting dog and cat owners to be the primary readers of this book but parents and grandparents found it and began to read to children. Kids picked up on the book quickly because of the rhyming stories and the colorful drawings of dogs and cats in a family setting.

Marc Bernier, on his radio show, told me 'Tales To Wag About is the best book my son and I have ever read together.' I don't want to go out on a limb and say your heart just might melt while reading this true to life book, but your heart just might melt while reading it. And you might even discover that love truly is a verb when you read it with a child.

When you preview this book, please find some excerpts of text and illustrations on this page and also on the excerpt page. Most stories have 5 to 7 verses and I'll share at least 1 verses from several stories so you might have enough information to decide if you want to have a copy of your own.

Note: Volusia County School Board purchased 61 copies in February of 2007. Additional Florida county school board sales are pending.
