Reviews

Snowflake Comes to Stay Snowflake Comes to Stay is a delightful illustrated story of a small Bichon Frise puppy who comes to stay for just one week with a story-writing lady who does not need a dog. The antics of Snowflake, the charming little white dog, charm and warm the heart of her hostess, and eventually two friends come to realize they need and enjoy each other's company very much (despite a few inconveniences). Snowflake Comes to Stay is a love story that will appeal to children of all ages. The storytelling pictures and illustrations are poignant and quietly inspirational. -Midwest Book Review, 9/20/10
