Bandana Buddies

The main characters in this story are Ollie, an energetic, young, friendly dog, and Feebs, a proud, but somewhat timid cat. They live on a farm together and develop a strong friendship through adversity. They go on an adventure where Ollie is trapped and it is up to Feebs to rescue him. Narrating the story is Maddie, an eight-year old girl who lives on the farm. She is a great story-teller and enjoys sharing her stories with her cousin, Jenna, who is visiting for the summer. Through these stories, Jenna learns valuable lessons from the animals that she can apply in her own life back home. And, the girls enjoy the fun of country living as remembered from my personal experiences. This book is a great little book for early elementary readers or as a read-aloud book for younger children. Not quite a picture book, not quite a chapter book, it's got girls, animals, adventure, excitement, and old-fashioned friendship values. As an author, I hope the stories in this series will be enjoyed, but also, that each reader will discover something useful they can apply to their own lives or share with others.
