Bling's weekly book review: Charlie's New Friend by Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman

By
Hi Friends,

Many of you know how much I LOVE "Charlie The Ranch Dog" books by Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman).   Charlie lives on a real ranch and is a real dog -  just like me.   I pretend to be a ranch dog.  Really, our property is a hobby farm.  A hobby farm is bigger than a regular property, but not as big as a ranch.  I have chickens just like Charlie.

This story about Charlie is titled "Charlie's New Friend".   In the story, Charlie wakes up and heads to the kitchen for breakfast.  He is very surprised to find his bowl empty.   He goes outside to find his mom and see what is happening.   Here is one of my favorite parts - once outside he sees a SQUIRREL.  He chased the squirrel up a tree.  Someday, I want to do that too!   My squirrels are too fast and are always in the trees by the time I get outside.  Yikes, back to our story.   Charlie passes the garden and discovers a bunny digging up carrots there.   This is very naughty because the rabbit is stealing carrots.   Charlie doesn't approve of stealing.   Charlie thinks of a plan to encourage the bunny to stop stealing.   Does Charlie's plan work?  You will have to read the book to find out!   This story is one of many in a book titled "Adventures of Charlie the Ranch Dog."   I hope you can get the book.   Each story is perfect to read before bedtime.   I can't wait to read them all!

Don't forget about my fan club "The Bling Fan Club".  If you do not belong to my fan club, you can sign up on line through  my website and you will receive my private newsletter.  Click on this link:  JOIN BLING'S FAN CLUB.   The fan club also has stickers for good readers.   The stickers have my picture on them.   I really like them and have put one in my favorite book.   Stickers are really fun. 

It is wonderful to hear about new books to read.  If you have a book you'd like to recommend for me to read, I'd love for you to email me at  adogbling@gmail.com

Love, hugs and a wagging tail, your friend, Bling

I just received a message that truly touches the heart.   This message is a result of a grandmother who gave her grandson my children's picture book, No Ghoulish Green Monsters Here, and following is what she shared with me.  I have to say, I could not be more excited....touched....Bling's messages through her book are exactly what was hoped for while I was writing it and creating the illustrations.   To purchase Bling's book - go to her website at adogbling.com Hi Dawn! I bought a autographed copy of your first book for my 3 year old grandson. His sweet Dad just sent me these two texts this evening and I thought you would enjoy seeing them.   My son loves the Bling Irish setter book you got him, we’ve read it by demand every night lol   He literally loves this book lol. He told me tonight that the books meaning to him is that if something is scary that we have to be brave in his own 3 year old way after we read it tonight. He was going through a little scared of the da

Bling's Book Review - Do Unto Otters, bu Laurie Keller

Hi Kids, I am going to start doing a weekly book review.  There are so many GGGGRRRREAT books out there.   I wish we could read them all.  This week, my book review is on " Do Unto Otters " by author, Laurie Keller .  The book is fabulous.   Of course, the first thing I enjoyed was the cover and all the illustrations of ANIMALS.  I LOVE animals.  On the cover, Ms. Keller writes this book is, "A Book About Manners."   You know, learning great manners is one of those things that we can never stop learning about.  The older we get, the more we try, and the more we care about others, will all teach us to have the best manners possible.   Manners might not seem important now, but they are.  Believe me when I tell you this!!   The book starts out with Otters moving to the animals' neighborhood in the forest.  All the other animals are worried about the Otters.  The other animals were worried that the Otters would not have good manners.   The animals hoped the O

The kids get to meet Mr Beeps

Bling has a new pet, an English Budgie named Mr Beeps.  He is a character in her book, No Ghoulish Green Monsters Here.    We brought him into our family thinking how fun it would be to take him to book readings.  He is 3 months old and so very sweet. I did a book reading this morning and he was a huge hit.  Look for more photos of Mr. Beeps on Bling's Facebook page    Mr. Beeps went to the event as a surprise for the kids.  He was covered and they had no idea he was there.  When I started reading to the kids, I told them a pet from the book was with me,   After we were done reading the book, the kids could guess what character was there and then meet the surprise pet.  The kids had so much fun guessing.  We then had a wonderful interactive discussion about pets and pet care. If you would like to have a book reading at your school, children's program or book store, please contact us!   If you do not live in the Dallas / Fort Worth area, we are available for Zoom visits or part
