Kids Online Storytime this Saturday at 11:00!

This Saturday we’re thrilled to welcome Ed Hanson to the Skylark online author community! Ed will be reading from his lovely new book, THE ADVENTURE OF ARTFUL DODGER. Based on a true story (which many of us in Columbia followed anxiously along with on social media as it happened) it tells the story of the time when Dodger escaped from his day care and went off on an adventure - and nearly gave the rest of us a heart attack.

Here’s the link for the event.

The book is full of charm and lovely illustrations, and is sure to be a firm favorite of dog lovers everywhere. If you’d like to meet Ed and hear him read his book, this is your chance! We have signed copies of the book available at Skylark.

Look at that cute face. (And Dodger’s, too.)

Artful Dodger Hanson is a fifteen-year-old mixed breed canine who lives with his special people, Ed and Tim, in a lovely home in Columbia, Missouri. He enjoys long naps, leisurely walks, and scouting for rabbits and squirrels. He also loves his doggie day care and all the great friends he's met there. Dodger has a great life, but he also has a taste for adventure. When he gets dropped at a dog sitter's one day, Dodger decides he can find his own way home, but can he? Soon his special person, Ed and the whole city are involved in the search for Dodger.
