To the uninitiated, writing books for children is easy. You put a few words on the page and add some pictures. How hard can that be?

I am so excited because this is the first book review that I get to write. Finally a chance to put my paw to something worthwhile. This opportunity came about because a German Shepherd, Celina Star published a book called, How To Become a Mail Carrier Puppy and Mama said that I would have the opportunity to do the review, since both the author and I are German canines. I have been taking careful notes along the way as I watch my Mama read and review other books, and I know that I’m ready for this challenge.

Here at the LL Book Review, we have reviewed a wide variety of books in a little over a year. Fiction, non-fiction, children’s and young adult, memoirs, and mysteries, to philosophical tomes that give us a new way of thinking. One thing all of the books reviewed have in common is they are all written by authors who believe in their work enough to pursue the hard road of self-publishing.

Reviewer LK Gardner-Griffie recently came across Lulu author P.J. Cowan’s Storefront and instantly fell in love with her children’s book collection and each books’ amazing illustrations which were provided by artist Mike Motz. After a visit to Mike’s website, we discovered he’s illustrated quite a few Lulu books and a big part of his work is helping authors bring their books to life.

I’ve always been a fan of giving books as gifts during the holidays. An “orphan tree” at work, where you pick paper ornaments off the tree displaying a list of items wanted by a child in a local orphanage or care facility and purchase the items as a donation, has given me the opportunity to buy books for a child in need for about the past four years at work. Luckily, my niece also likes to read and books are often on her wish list as well. I say this because my most recent Lulu find, a book called Max & Huber by Dale Kilgore, would make the perfect gift for a young reader.

I don’t recall the last time I read a book I’d classify as Young Adult Fiction. (No, I haven’t read one single word of J.K. Rowling.) But I am glad to have picked up Thomas Graham’s The Curse of the Ram’s Head on Lulu this week. Mr. Graham’s central character is a twelve year old boy named Tim Duggan. Tim and his parents have just returned home from summer vacation when they make a pit stop in a small town.
