Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers! 
Today, we're letting the blog go to the dogs, or rather one specifically, as we play host to an AWARENESS TOUR going on now with The Children's Book Review. It features the second book in a charming children's storybook series starring none other than Webster the Beagle. He's precocious. He's adorable. He had a different start in life than you might think, but it all ended well for everyone involved. Ready to take point and see what all the hubbub is about? Ladies and gents, let's get between the epages of today's blog tour guest and book of choice...

About the book...
This is the story of Webster the beagle and his adventures at the Rappahannock River, whose tale of hope will inspire you to never give up on your dreams. Sometimes, we think we’re lost when, really, we’re just hoping to be found.

Webster was a born hunting dog, but one day when out and about, he become lost. Don't fret. He's found sooner than later, and gets a second chance at a more auspicious life. How so? Well, where Webster was previously hunting and chasing the critters of the woods and waters, which was fine and dandy, now he gets to enjoy their company 😉. Yes, Webster now gets to travel with his owner, and, depending on the season, has the chance to make new friends of fin, feather, and shell! Along the way, we get to learn all about the new creatures we're encountering... things like Osprey don't need to drink water, and Rockfish can grow up to 30 pounds, which were both news to me!

It's a great example of edutainment for little ones just starting out as well as beginning readers to start building that desire to explore the world around them. There's just enough story to move things along with the right amount of information to keep things intriguing, and when combined with the lovely illustrations, there's no doubt Webster will make a fine friend to many an adventurer in the making.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

He is an avid hunter, tennis player, and fan of all things James Madison University. Frank is also active in his community and enjoys exploring new ventures—from owning racehorses to oyster farming.

Frank is vice president and a minority owner of PD Brooks Company Inc., a traffic control company in Richmond, Virginia. He lives in Richmond with his wife, Caren, and their two dogs: Billy, the beagle, and River, the black Labrador retriever.
