I want to thank Daniel for reading from my book, Three Stories You Can Read to Your Dog, and for your kind words about it. Too bad listeners couldn't see the great illustrations. This is the tenth anniversary of the publication of the book. Since then there have been more: Three Stories You Can Read to Your Cat, Three More Stories You Can Read to Your Dog, Three More Stories You Can Read to Your Cat, and Three Stories You Can Read to Your Teddy Bear. Thanks to you and Lulu the sales ranking for Three Stories...Dog went from #160,725 to #65 in a few hours. And the others moved way up, too. Just goes to show that listeners listen to you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Daniel replies:
We had SO much fun with that book! Lulu really was looking at the pictures and enjoying it as we recorded the radio piece. I think quite a few of the illustrations are on the NPR website.
