STATESMAN-JOURNAL REVIEW

On a long shot, I submitted WONDER DOG to the Statesman-Journal in Salem and was surprised to find that Mr. Don Hays reviewed in the Sunday, March 6th edition. I quote: "This isn't the first book to tell his story, but it is nicely done with some pleasant drawings. It is unfortunately, told in first person by Bobbie, which is annoying." I am simply glad to get a review and the coverage. Some people will find the point of view annoying or whatever but I know there are those who don't. Mr. Hays seemed to have a problem with Bobbie being referred to as Silverton Bobbie rather than Silverton's Bobbie. I did that so as not to confuse it with the other book by Judith Kent. I am excited about getting my first ever book review. Partially negative or not. Thanks Statesman-Journal!
