Book summary
As engaging as a tail wag
Celebrating
the simple things in life as seen through the eyes of our old time favourite
furry friends, “As Good as Gold” is a volume of poetry revealing the talent and
humour we always knew our dogs possessed.
Dogs are full of questions, yet they
are famed sellers of innocence especially when it comes to explaining their
mishaps and often foolish
effervescence through ponderings such as “Why IS a Cat Not Like a Dog”, “As Brown as Chocolate”, “Silver Stars and
Puppy Tail” or, best yet, “Dog or Book?”
A
book with an enormous heart for readers of all ages, it includes 35 poems and
haiku accompanied by
expressive portraits of our canine friends.
Nayu's thoughts
At the time of receiving this request I was quite busy so this isn't a review of the book. However, since I've reviewed Patricia's books in the past, and recently had a poem written by Patricia about my cat Belle (which is free to buy until tonight!!!)
I genuinely (both with and without bias) like her work and that's why I'm taking part in the tour, so you can find out about it!
Find out more on Patricia's website.
About Patricia
Patricia Furstenberg came to
writing through reading. She always carries a notebook and a pen, although at
times she jots down her ideas on the back of till slips or types them on her
phone.
Patricia enjoys writing for
children because she can take abstract, grown-up concepts and package them in humorous,
child-friendly ideas while adding sensitivity and lots of love. What fuels her
is an exhilarating need to write and… coffee: “How many cups have had this
morning?” “None.” “Plus?” “Five cups.”
Between her books you can find
the beloved Joyful Trouble, The Cheetah and the Dog, Puppy, 12 Months of Rhymes and Smiles.
She is a Huffington Post
contributor and pens the Sunday Column for MyPuppyclub.net as well as dabbing
in freelancing. After completing her Medical Degree in Romania she moved to
South Africa where she now lives with her husband, children and their dogs.
