Lester the Library Dog and Reggie the Rescue Dog January 2023 Releases

Lester the Library Dog Reggie the Rescue Dog

Two children’s picture books, Lester the Library Dog and Reggie the Rescue Dog are set for release in January 2023.

Although these two titles are the third and fourth in the series, which commenced with Harriet the Hearing Dog and Gus the Guide Dog, they are different to books that came before them.  These latest titles are not about Assistance Dogs.

Lester the Library Dog is still, of course, a dog with an important job, and was written as a result of some lovely emails from school librarians, telling me about their Library Dogs and the difference they make within the school community.   Keep the photos coming!   Each library dog is unique and gorgeous, and I am hoping that the newly created Lester will be also be well received, and take his place as a useful addition to libraries everywhere!

Reggie the Rescue Dog was written to promote discussion about topics such as choosing the right dog, caring for and training a dog, and about long-term commitment and responsibility.   I hope this book about how Reggie, who is a bad fit for one busy home with no space, but who goes on to shine when she is adopted by an active and responsible family, will be food-for-thought and a learning experience for children keen to have a dog of their own.

Anyone wanting to pre-order Reggie the Rescue Dog or Lester the Library Dog will be assured of being in the first dispatch, as soon as the books arrive from the printer in January.

In the meantime, happy Christmas and safe 2023 to everyone, and thanks again to all who have supported my books over many years.    More updates to come in 2023.
