Big news!


One of Sparkles and my favorite bloggers in the whole wide world, author and mommy blogger, Dawn Meehan, has posted a book review of our book, Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog on her Because I Said So blog.

Dawn is giving away some really exciting goodies to two of her readers, including a special edition copy of my book and audio book, Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog. These limited edition copies will be signed by Firefighter Michael and myself. The books will also be “pawed” by Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog.

These two winners will also receive several life saving products from Sparkles, myself and First Alert, including a combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm, Tundra™ Fire Extinguishing Spray and escape ladder, worth over $100! All to help keep you and your family safe! Here is my fire safety dog friend, Tango, modeling with all of the loot!


And, cause I am feeling so generous and because I like Dawn's blog and her readers so much, I am also going to throw in a battery operated talking combination smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector from First Alert, worth over $60! The voice alarm is really easy to program even notifies you which hazard is being sensed.

How cool is that? Over $160 in fire safety goods for each of two of Dawn's lucky readers! So, tell all your friends and help spread the word!

Visit Dawn's blog HERE to learn more! It's easy, it's fun and it's free! But, best of all, you'll be visiting one of the most amazing blogs on the face of the planet!

Thanks to Dawn for helping us spread the fire safety message! And, a big thanks to our friends at First Alert! Working together we can help keep children and their caregivers fire safe.

Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog reviews "Poodle and Doodle" by Donna Shepherd


It was both and honor and a privilege to be asked by author Donna Shepherd to review her newest children's book, Poodle and Doodle, published by Guardian Angel Publishing. This with our first review, so Sparkles and I were very excited!

Here's a brief synopsis of the book: "Angel, a twelve-pound prissy poodle, is none too happy when Leah brings home Scruffy, a seventy-five pound clumsy Labradoodle. Why ever would Leah want another pet when she had the perfect dog already? Children will love Donna J. Shepherd's humorous rhymes. Keep a sharp lookout for hidden bones in the delightful illustrations by Jack Foster."

Here's a sneak peek at this delightful book. No bones about it, this book is "pawsitively" wonderful and one of the best children's books that we have read in a long time, paws down!

Be sure to check out our review at Donna's Oodles of Fun blog.

And, it's your lucky day! Sparkles and I are big fans of coloring pages and we wanted to share this fun one (Click on picture of the coloring page, then print! It will print out full size ready to be colored OR right click on picture, and then 'save picture as...' and you can print it out using your photo program). We have already finished coloring ours! Enjoy!
Thanks, Donna. We love your new book and wish you and your four-legged furry friends much success!
