We will be checking these, and if we like them, we will post them on this website to share with others!! The Reviews are in . . ."I really recommend this book to all children. I work as an aftercare teacher and will be bringing this book for the kids(:" Lou 5 Star Review on Amazon! "An amusing holiday tale for lovers of cranky canines . . . Get it." --Kirkus Reviews" I love animals and appreciate the shelters and rescues that support them! Spike's rescue story is captured in the book because I wanted to share it with others. Plus, Spike loved everyone who came to our house, (except the groomer, but that is another story!). His love of his family, life and everyone inspired this story. Simply, not since “Elf on the Shelf” has a book had the potential to change the cultural landscape as “Spike and the Holiday Parade” does! The wonderful illustrations, page engagement - can you find all the hidden pugs? - and identifiable characters combine to make a new classic for the ages. I can think of no other book that unites the holidays of Christmas, Kwanzaa and Hanukkah in a clever and honoring way. Spike's right! We are truly better when we work together than apart. I encourage you to #JoinSpikesParade to show your love for animals and the shelters and rescues that support them. Enjoy this holiday adventure!" --R.G. Taylor
