New Children's Book Emphasizes Humor and Companionship
Bluffton, SC (PRWEB) July 3, 2008 -- Tales of the Ookie Brothers, a new book written by pet lover Michael Silver, is a heart-warming glimpse into the life of two dogs, Mookie and Pookie (also known as the Ookie Brothers) and their unconditional love and loyalty.
When Mookie is adopted from the SPCA and introduced to the pure-bred Pookie, the male dogs surprisingly get along just fine. The antics of the unlikely pair, a Cairn terrier and a mutt originally named Mozart and MacGyver, are hilariously told from the dogs' point of view in an illustrated chapter book.
The whimsical story comes from the journal Silver kept of the various dogs he owned over the years. The personalities of the Ookie Brothers stood out in his mind and he opted to highlight their experiences, uniquely told from their perspective. Combining his lifelong passion for writing, Silver accomplishes the difficult task of describing the unique ways that dogs communicate with their owners and other dogs in the first book of his trilogy.
Children of all ages will adore the warm-hearted story and the illustrations created by the author's friend, Patricia Chiarolanza. Not just for pet lovers, all readers will be able to identify with Mookie and Pookie. In an easy-to-read approach, Tales of the Ookie Brothers is sure to be a cherished book for children and parents.

Preschool: Toddler Innocence Or Wisdom?
Innocence: It is an absence of guilt; harmless; freedom from evil; lack of worldly experience; not recognizing the harmful intentions of other. This is the definition of innocence according to the Encarta Dictionary. These days it's difficult to find true innocence in the world, but if you have ever watched a month-old puppy sleeping or gazed into the eyes of a toddler-aged child you can still see it. At that age, everything is new and exciting, not routine and boring such as for the rest of us who have become jaded over the years.
