Synopsis

Amidst a world that seems to grow more and more divisive, there is nothing like having a pet. A dog, cat or, yes, even a ferret, provides unconditional love, laughs and distraction. While taking on a pet requires patience, care and time, the return on investment is well worth it. While Chappie the ferret was a master thief and hoarder who tried my patience at every turn, he did what pets do best: to "weasel" into my life and remind me what is most important-to take the time to laugh and love and appreciate the little things (once you find them!). --Lauren Persons

"I love this story. I am like Chappie. I hide things to be 'funny.' Read it to me again!" --Jack Willard, age 4

"Chappie's Tale: The Real Story is a delightful read. It is a "real" tale of how frustrating critters and young children can be while stealing our hearts. Grab one of the young people in your life and read it together. I promise, you will both be chuckling." --Margaret Hill-Daniels, mom, grandmother and experienced child therapist

"It's a really good book. Chappie is funny, and he was just doing his job--stealing things!" --Avery Winchell, age 10, Syracuse NY

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

I have tried on many roles in my life as actor, wife, mother, writer, director, teacher and grandmother. ` have found that writing children's books is the perfect mash up for using my assortment of skills. Artist and poet, Akiane Kramarik, so aptly wrote: "If we experience life through the eyes of a child, everything would be magical and extraordinary. Let our curiosity, adventure and wonder of life never end." As the author of Lost But Found, What Happened to Chester, The Perfect Gift, and now, The Real Story: Chappie's Tale, I have been able to stay young at heart, hunker down at a kid's eye level and take in a bit of their wonder.

In 1976, Gary Dumm met Cleveland's Harvey Pekar and embarked on a 30-year-plus collaboration on that author's autobiographical comic "American Splendor." He has also collaborated with his wife Laura on many comics, mural work and a colorful series of large paintings of "Environmental Monsters." More recently he illustrated author Scott MacGregor's historical graphic novel "Fire On The Water," released by Abrams Comic Arts. You can see more of their art at: www.dummart.com

Self taught, Laura Dumm can't remember a time she wasn't making art. In 1986, after working for various publications, she bought a computer and made the decision to become a freelance graphic artist/illustrator. As well as doing her own colorful paintings, she has collaborated with her husband, coloring his black & white cartoons and working with him on numerous comics, graphic novels and books.
