Inciting imagination in children

This is a wonderful, creative book for young children that promotes imagination and lots of giggles. The illustrations are most appealing to a child as they are simple and colorful. As a teacher of young, special needs children,I have read this book to my students. It delighted everyone and held their attention. It is a book that will become a family favorite and will be read many times. Adults will smile while reading it to children.

We Flipped for Tucker

My high energy children ages 5 and 2 loved this little tale about the adventurous fun loving Tucker. Rarely do I find a book at this age level that so captures their undivided attention. They giggle at Tucker's escapades and delight in the fact that he loves to have fun as much as they do. When you read this book over and over like we do, you will also have a good time picking out the humor in McGuirk's illustrations. In text and illustration, this is a book full of life and fun.

Tucker is Terrific

My 3 year old boy and 1 year old girl love this book about a cute little white puppy who is more adventurous than his two brothers! the drawings are amazingly cute and unique and the book is written right at kid-level. my son learned to "read" it in just one sitting, it appealed to him so much! the story is about a real dog, and the writer clearly loves and respects animals and kids. excellent!

Your kids will love this book!

I have known this author and her work for ten years. She loveskids and animals and it really shows in this book. The book is basedon a real dog. The book is funny, exceptionally creative, and mythree year old son sleeps with it under his pillow!
