Francine Appeals to Big and Little kids

As a Hallmark artist and a dog lover, this book really got to me. Anyone who is sensitive to the feelings of dogs will appreciate this warm and funny story with it's wild and crazy characters, colors, patterns and perspectives. The conversational rhyming was playful and funny. Both big and little kids will love this book.

A Charming Little Story

Francine Francine The Beach Party Queen is a delightful story of a dog seeking what we all desire in life - love and affection. The story is written in clever, conversational verse and is nicely illustrated with computer-generated artwork that has a very fresh, modern and original look to it. This is a fun book that kids are sure to enjoy. I think Ms. Colman has another bestseller on her hands.

I Love Francine!

Sheer Fun! The verses and the hysterical eye-popping pictures in this crazily quirky book really deliver its underlying important message with zing. Colman's aesthetic sensibilities and one of a kind mind shine brightly!
