Happy Frenchie Friday! As soon as I saw this children's book, Picnic-The French Bulldog Who Lost Her Snort, I knew I had to get it.... even though I don't have any small children! It looks just like "Stella"!

I ordered Picnic online on Amazon...and it came from Far Flung books which turns out is owned by the author, Octavia Jones. When the book shipped, I got an email from the actual author!

Once I received Picnic, I saw that it was signed by Octavia too! I thought that was such a nice touch!

It says "May you always find what you are looking for" - Octavia Jones

I love it when someone "under-promises" and "over-delivers".... rather than the other way around. That was so special.

The book is darling. Such a cute story. It made me laugh many times because only a French Bulldog owner would know some of the things she put in the book, like the way they lay on the ground...that picture cracked me up.

I will be saving this book for my grandchildren!!

Octavia Jones is obviously a Frenchie owner because in the last page of the book she writes... "To those who have not had the privilege to love a French Bulldog, do not despair. Your turn will come."

Thank you Octavia for going above and beyond with your service... it's much appreciated and I think your book is a gem. I will treasure it.
