It was a sad day for the witch Hattie Mae who recently buried her beloved cat Ezra. He was on his 9th life, when a fatal accident ended it all. Hattie Mae’s neighbor had a vicious dog who made an attempt on Ezra’s life. Of course Frank E. Stein, the neighbor was charged for this mishap and had to take his dog into the pound where he’d serve 20 years to life. There was no easy break for that dog, but what would you expect of a dog named Live spelled backwards?BOOK TRAILER: https://youtu.be/50ZZ0O15KYkWHAT INSPIRED THIS BOOK?The idea of employment, if it applied to our pets…WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE BOOK?This book is about some controversial topics, -in that it discusses death and even imprisonment and the concept of employment -not what many would want to expose their children to early on, -but I like that it’s different and talks about real world issues and consequences.

Advanced words should render the question, “What does that mean?” from your daughter or son. Images in books come from a multitude of graphic artists and photographers to add graphic diversity. Ages for children’s books range from 3 years of age to adult age, or grown-ups who are children at heart. Each story told offers a moral or bit of wisdom and is often told in poetic fashion. The benefits of reading for children are many, and in support of this I’d like to showcase e-books for you and your child, whether they are an ardent reader or young enough to be read to, it’s important you or they do.
