Pug helps children learn about hurricanes

In 2004, Maddie the pug was vacationing in Florida from Albany, NY visiting her grandmom. Maddie’s vacation was going well until the family heard that hurricane Charley had taken an unexpected turn and was heading for Central Florida. While waiting out the storm the family turned to Dr. Seuss books to help pass the time. This gave Amy Allinson, Maddie’s grandmom, a great idea for a book and she started writing her own book about a hurricane from the viewpoint of a pug. Amy worked closely with her son Matt and her daughter Kate and before long their book was complete.

Their book, entitled Maddie’s Great Adventure is available from Trafford Publishing for $12. Unfortunately, Trafford Publishing does not allow you to directly link to a book, so to view the book’s synopsis and to see some of the book’s illustrations you need to go to the Trafford Publishing home page and then enter the book’s title in the Quick Search box.
