When CAROL GARDNER divorced her husband, she was told to get a therapist, or get a dog. Carol chose the latter. Since winning a Christmas card contest featuring Zelda dressed up as Santa Claus, Carol and Zelda have gone on to create a series of gift books and novelty items called Zelda Wisdom which includes everything from cookies to costumes, key chains, magnets, and more.
ZELDA is an English bulldog and a celebrity. She is also the official spokesdog of Delta Society Pet Partners, a program dedicated to the human-animal healing bond, and is a certifi ed therapy dog who works with children with learning disabilities. Her appearances on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Good Morning America, the Today Show, and the Martha Stewart Show have made Zelda a household name.
"The repartee is sassy and hip..." --Booklist Online "This is the tale Carol Gardner creates, a page-turner for kids indeed, but for kids of all ages as well. Frogs and princesses are a tale as old as time, but peppered with the flavorful wit of Gardner, Zelda's beauty of a beast becomes a modern-day treasure." --FIDOFriendly.com "Gardner's energetic, contemporary tone cements this as a playful, modern interpretation . . . This title ought to draw a legion of dog lovers and Zelda fans, in addition to kids looking for a silly read." --Publishers Weekly "This clever retelling of the Grimms' fairy tale about loyalty, honor, and friendship will delight young readers." --School Library Journal "Dog meets frog in this amusing retelling of 'The Frog Prince, ' which uses photographs of costumed English bulldogs against computer-generated backgrounds to illustrate the fairy tale." --Kirkus Reviews
