Rocco the Rock Star and the Flower of Sascut: Children's Beginner Readers, Dog Adventure Stories, Ages 5-8

My name is Rachel, and I am the proud owner of Rocco the Rock Star. Before I had Rocco I always had dogs but I never rescued. Rocco came to me at a very sad time of my life, I was very lonely and he turned my life around. I would always tell Rocco how I found him and how he saved me. One evening whilst I was telling him the story for the hundredth time, I suddenly thought this would make a great book, and children would really love to hear this story. I hope this book which Rocco inspired me to write will raise awareness of how special rescue dogs are and hopefully will lead to more rescue dogs finding their forever homes.Rachel SmithAUTHORI am absolutely crazy about Dogs, and as a young child, always had a dog at my side. As a grown up this still remains the same. I have had various Jobs throughout my life however at this particular stage in my life I consider myself extremely lucky to now work with dogs and also write beautiful Children's books about Dogs and the joy they bring to our every day lives.Charlie FordAUTHOR

Amazon Customer I absolutely love this book! I purchased a copy for my daughter and son. Being animal lovers, they thoroughly enjoyed the story. Its so lovely to read an enjoyable book, which teaches the children important values. The story is set in one of my favourite villages.Fidget Toy CollectorWow! What a fabulous idea for a story. Very enjoyable.Teaching young children about the importance of patience, kindness and courage. My children, who love animals, absolutely love these books and we await the next one.B.SpencerA lovely read, a heart warming story about kindness and our important role of looking after animals and the joy that can bring. My godsons (aged 4 and 6) both enjoyed the story. Perfect to be read as a bed time story for younger ones, or read independently as they get older. It's nice to see local references too. Have purchased the second book too!Chloe GeorgeThe stories of Rocco and the gang will never fail to make you smile - whatever your age. Well worth a read and a great present for children who love dogs and enjoy an adventure. Plus, proceeds go to a wonderful cause!LucyI love reading these books as much as my children enjoy listening to them, they are so heart warming and have great illustrations. Would definitely recommend.K.HardingI bought this book for my friend's son (4 years old). He loved the book, writing his name and address in the front straight away. The fact the dogs are real and so is their story, led to discussions on adoption, how animals travel from other countries and being raised by a single parent, (which we weren't expecting). The story itself is very good and kept him engaged throughout. So brilliant I've just bought the second book in the series.J.MooreMy daughters are currently reading the 1st in the series and loving it. AS we live locally to 'Chipping Dogbury' they love seeing all the pictures of places they recognise too! Looking forward to reading more.
