Review
This title features a day in the life of an author working at home. The unnamed author couldn't get by without her dog - she wakes to his kisses, has him beside her while working, and uses walks and feeding as distractions. The dog is always there except when she does a school visit (she needs to train him as a therapy dog to take along to school!) It isn't really a story - who is the audience? This title might be useful as a classroom read before an author visit.
