Mysteries and Dogs: Pink Piggy and Stories and Squeeze Toys

from Dads on Books · host Michael Walker & David Patrick

Mike and David have a wonderful conversation with author Linda Harkey award winning writer of many wonderful books from Story Monsters. The Dads talk about her latest book, The Case of the Missing Pink Piggy, a wonderful mystery that might get you a little misty-eyed. Just a little. Like pack rat size. No, smaller. It’s a fun tale of VFDs—What’s a VFD you may ask? You’ll have to listen to find. A hint:  it’s a good thing. A V good thing—and their Squeeze Toy.Linda told us, “To me, everything’s a story.” We couldn’t agree more. The only thing Linda loves more than animals is writing about animals. OK, maybe it’s a tie, a toss up if you will, a draw? The point is, we had a fun conversation with Linda, AND, you should listen to it.If you liked this episode, you’ll love these:Check out all of our author episodes:Dan Gutman.
