Normally, I’m not a children’s book reviewer, but there are those occasions when a kid’s book will grab my attention, especially if it has a good message and includes dogs. I’m a sucker for a good dog book; must be the dog owner in me.
I recently read and reviewed Bruce Littlefield’s The Bedtime Book for Dogs, which he wasn’t kidding when he titled it because dogs do understand the book and will often beg for treats or a trip outside if you are reading it to your little one. Wiggles and I have read this book a number of times, and she loves the colorful illustrations by Paul S. Heath. Check out my review if you missed it.
Today, however, we have a special treat . . . a glimpse into the writing space of Bruce Littlefield:
My summer writing perch is on my front porch swing with the Esopus Creek running behind me. Growing up in South Carolina, my grandparents had a huge southern porch. I’d sit out there with my notebook and sip her sweet ice tea and dream up my stories. Edgewater Farm, my house in the Catskills of NY, used to be a bungalow colony (think Dirty Dancing) and I like to write here. It’s got a lot of creative vibe.
Thanks, Bruce, for sharing your writing space with us and let’s hope it continues to inspire you.
Now for the giveaway: I have 1 copy of the book for a US/Canada winner.
