Paw Tracks Here and Abroad is a book for "children" ages 6 to 96! It chronicles the adventures of Snickers, a stray dog with a strong will to survive. When Snickers is adopted in Peoria, Illinois, she quickly becomes part of the family-but that doesn't keep her from trying to escape whenever the opportunity presents itself! Over her twenty-two long years as a beloved member of the Wilson family, Snickers moves across the country and halfway across the world, makes new friends, observes and engages in bizarre behaviors, and experiences the thrill of encountering other cultures. A Dog's Tale is Snickers' story, told from a dog's-eye view, about loyalty, nurturing, adoption, playtime, exercise, socialization, veterinarian care, nutrition, grooming, boarding, and aging. At Snickers' request, Paw Tracks and the author are proud supporters of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®. The ASPCA was established in 1866 as the first humane society in North America. Today it maintains programs that extend anticruelty and animal welfare missions across the country. The author believes that having animals in our lives makes the world a better place, and he and Snickers both believe the ASPCA makes the world a much better place for animals.
Autorenporträt
James Mikel Wilson resides in Houston, Texas. Mr. Froggy's dilemma is his third book. He has also posted many blogs on his author website: www.jamesmikelwilson.com He can also be found on Instagram as @jamesmikelwilson The children in his life, both in his own family and families of friends and neighbors, inspired this true story about Mr. Froggy's dilemma. It started out as a long adventure letter to his grandchildren about a large, rare bullfrog that the author's dog eagerly chased into the swimming pool. The adventure morphed into a book as a result of encouragement from friends and family. As the young reader will discover, there are multiple ""dilemmas"" in the story. The explicit ones range from how will the frog escape the pool? Once it escapes, where does it go? What incentive does the frog need to pursue a new life and adventure? And, then there is the dilemma of climate change. Some implicit dilemmas that might surface for discussion with a child include acceptance, discrimination over physical differences, bullying, fear of change, and taking chances. The book introduces the young reader to a few scientific terms, asks the child to do a little research, and engages the child in coming up with solutions. These solutions even introduce the concepts of chapter titles. Why they are important. And, how they help a child organize and write her or his own stories. The book also deliberately challenges and broadens their vocabulary. Twelve early readers from Toronto, Boston, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Miami, St. Louis, Houston, The Woodlands, San Diego, and San Francisco endorsed the book. Published Churchill and Roosevelt: The Big Sleepover at the White House late 2015. It's about the three weeks these two famous men live and work together Christmas 1941. Numerous praises include four- time Emmy Award journalist Monte Francis and author, television and theater actor and book critic Matthew Arkin. A London playwright, Giles Cole has converted it to a stage play. Fb.me @BigSleepoverWhiteHouse Published Paw Tracks Here and Abroad: A Dog's Tale late 2014.
