Publisher: Zonderkidz
Genre: Children

Goodreads:  ‘God gave each puppy a gift of its own, and PUPS OF THE SPIRIT is how they are known!’ Peanut is patient, and Kay is so kind. Each of these nine loveable puppies has a special trait to help them grow closer to God. From love and joy to patience and kindness, children will have fun learning about the fruits of the spirit with these playful and cuddly companions.

Ope’s Opinion with Emma:   I had as much fun reading this book to Emma ( my four year-old granddaughter ) as she did listening to it.  We talked about the different pups on each page.  She wanted to hear it again  and again.  I decided to leave it at her house so she could look at all the pups whenever she wanted to.                                 me and emma

Rating:  Five Fingers ( according to Emma )   red five

Laura Lippman talked about getting her ideas for her writing.  She took several questions from the audience about her books and her writing process.  Then she was available for signing the books.

 If you find yourself near Arlington or Falls Church, VA – check out OMP ( One More Page Books ).  It is an awesome local bookstore.  There are book clubs, author signings, and wonderful people to help you find what you are looking for.  President Obama even came to the book store!  It is a great place to stop in and feel at home.

On the website  www.onemorepagebooks.com there is a calendar that shows all the events for each month.

The gathering for their anniversary had something for everyone.  There was wine, chocolate and free books.  What more could you want?  This was my selection and there were many more to choose from, depending on your genre.
