ELIZABETH BLUEMLE

TUESDAY, SEPT. 10TH 4-6PM 


DOGS ON THE BED 
 
 
It's not  everyday that my best friend and bookstore co-owner comes out with a paperback. Tuesday, September 10th is the day Elizabeth's book, 
Dogs on the Bed will come out. 
 
The book is about what happens when the family dogs decide they all want to sleep on the bed. The engaging rhyme (down right infectious) and humorous illustrations will stay with you long after you finish the book. Dog lovers will immediately recognize their dog's behavior in the story and the art conveys the poutiness of dogs who can't get comfortable, except when their owners have forsaken their beds. 
 
We are celebrating the release with cake, dog treats and other fun surprises. Please feel free to bring your well-behaved dog and get a book for your dog loving friends.  You can also pre-order Elizabeth's fourth book, Tap Tap Boom Boom which comes out March 25th, 2014, and save the date for the launch party!
 
School Library Journal says of the book, "The exuberant, rhyming text delights the ear as the hilarious illustrations engage the eye in this kid- and dog-friendly tale."
 
Booklist says, " The rousing rhymes and frequent refrains provide continuous, peppy entertainment, and the occasional altered rhythms will keep readers and listeners on their toes... A humorous and affectionate ode to the frustrations and joys of having dogs as pets and part of the family."
 
We're also having a contest. Can you correctly spot the numbers of differences between the covers of the paper back and the hard cover.? We'll hold a drawing of all eligible answers and the winner will get a signed copy of Tap Tap Boom Boom
