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.
