6 THINGS ABOUT CARMEN…
WRITING CHILDREN'S BOOKS IS MY 5TH CAREER.
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG ELEMENTARY TEACHER, IT WAS MY PRINCIPAL WHO PLANTED THE "SEED" WHEN SHE SUGGESTED I WRITE BOOKS FOR CHILDREN... AND THAT WAS 60 YEARS AGO.
IT WASN'T UNTIL I WAS IN MY EIGHTIES THAT I HAD TIME TO WRITE STORIES ABOUT THE MONSTER DOG.
IT HAS BEEN SUCH FUN TO HAVE A NEW CAREER OR INTEREST AT THIS AGE BECAUSE I HAVE MET MANY NEW FRIENDS.
I LOVE TO GARDEN AND HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PERENNIAL GARDEN.
I REALLY DO LIKE SPAM WHICH IS MADE IN MY HOMETOWN!

Book
THE MONSTER DOG - TASSE’S DIARY OF SECRETS
Secrets, secrets, secrets! So many of them! In the third book of The Monster Dog series, Tasse shares her private thoughts and stories with her best friend, ‘Dear Diary.’ Sometimes a little bit naughty, this slightly high-maintenance Shih Tzu spends her time and energy fooling her person, Carmen. “Ha, Ha, Ha,” she says, “I have fooled her again.”
While playful, there are many things for children to learn from Tasse’s adventures. Caregivers and teachers will find many openings for further discussions. One such story is when Tasse shares with Dear Diary she was bullied and scared by a big dog “who made fun of my small size and even the pink ribbon I was wearing.”
Illustrated by Katie Hunderdosse, each story is accompanied by bright and dynamic illustrations, which will keep children joyfully turning the pages for the next adventure hidden inside THE MONSTER DOG….TASSE’S DIARY of SECRETS.
