Henrietta's Big Adventure

Henrietta Hamster longs for a big adventure, but when it comes her way she realizes that a big adventure is not what she expected! 

Reviews:

I predict this book will become a best-selling children's book. It is FULL of sweet, fun, and will-make-you-smile moments that I think children and adults will love equally well. The fact that the author had a hamster as a pet becomes evident in the special bonus section at the end of the book. (Love this feature!)

Whether you are looking for a sweet story to share with your children, a book that will help your children learn about caring for animals, or a book about hamsters because you are a hamster enthusiast - this book fills all that and then some.

Don't even hesitate - you and your children will love it! 

"A great book to snuggle down and read together"
"Great story for my little hamster lovers!"
"Wonderful illustrations, reminds me of the books my mom read to me as a kid!"

Bonus Hamster Care Information included in the back of the book, because after you read this book, you will definitely be interested in owning your own Henrietta Hamster!

Henrietta Hamster's Big Adventure: The Audio Book!

Henrietta Hamster's Big Adventure

So, after the big push to publish Henrietta Hamster's Big Adventure, I have to admit, I was drained!  Self publishing is really hard work, especially with a children's book.  Text? A snap. Pictures? A snap. Text and pictures?  A formatting nightmare that I am gearing up for with the next series (A to Z) with much fear and trepidation.

While I get ready to "gird my loins" (and what ever does that REALLY mean?) and go forth, I am continuing with the Animal Tales Series. 

Henrietta Hamster's Big Adventure: The Audio!

I went to my favorite go to site, fiverr.com and found a voice actor that I thought would be good.  I always "pre-message" any fiverr people for a couple of reasons. Mainly, to make sure that they are around, know what I want (and I am very specific)  how I want it etc. 

Now, I actually hate to share good fiverr gigs, as they have a tenancy to get busy and raise their prices - and this guy I like. First, I listen to a LOT of audio books. I know what I like to listen to, and that is a British reader. (think Jim Dale reading Harry Potter) 

Rory read Henrietta Hamsters Big Adventures  with a nice slightly Irish accent, with good cadence and expression.  The voice seems a little fast, but I am taking it to China Lab Studio today and Dylan Powell and I are going to work on it, possibly slow down the tape, add music, book cues etc. I did allow him to use his name as narrator on the book, so I will post the link to his web site when everything falls into place.

My original idea was to give it as a free give away at the back of the book, (so that I can grow my list of people who have enjoyed Henrietta Hamsters Big Adventures) but I was told that Amazon may not allow this, so I have to confirm.  I may just try and upload as an audio, but again, have to look into that too. Depending upon the size and length, I guess will help determine what I will do, as a 6 minute audio is not really worth much lol

Henrietta Hamster's Big Adventure is PUBLISHED

Well, it took a little longer to publish Henrietta Hamster's Big Adventure than I thought it would!  After nearly a month of re-writing, re-vamping and re-freaking out I finally uploaded yesterday!

 I have to say, I still like the cover that I designed - a la Betrix Potter style - and the watercolour illustrations look nice in the Kindle Previewer on my computer (and iphone). I have to admit, I just was tired of seeing all the children's books being put out there with "el cheepo fiver" illustrations. (Fiver.com is a site where you can get practically anything done for five bucks. That runs the gamut from a bearded guy in a spandex suit singing Happy Birthday, to full blown researchers looking to make a couple of extra bucks)

I also was blown away with the great review one of my customers wrote -  she noticed everything that I hoped people would want and need in a children's book - an interesting story, a bit of taking care of a hamster, and of course, nice illustrations.  Being an artist, I really like a good visual, so that was important!

EDIT: OH MY! I just looked, I am #21 in the paid section of Kindle!!   WOW!  No idea what that really means, but I am sure I will find out :)

Henrietta Hamster's Big Adventure Debut

 

This is the  cover that I designed for the Animal Tails Series.  It reminds me of a Beatrix Potter book I loved as a child. The first book is Henrietta Hamster's Big Adventure.

Henrietta Hamster loves her wonderful home, but longs to explore outside and have a big adventure.  But when Henrietta's cage get left open one day and she escapes to the great outdoors, Henrietta discovers that maybe that big adventure is not what she had imagined, at least if Oliver the dreaded cat has anything to do with it.

Lavishly illustrated, join Henrietta for a hamster sized adventure, and learn more about hamsters as you read. This book is designed to be long enough as a self reader for level 2/3, and charming enough to be a read aloud book.
