Dog Talk: If dogs could talk, what would they say? Now we know. Ethel Frances, a dog-talker with attitude, invites you into her colorful, fast-paced life. Half-Labrador Retriever, half-Pointer, Ethel Frances is clever, proud, and funny. She loves "most" people, ice cream, and sticks of all sizes. She dislikes cars, but wishes dogs could drive. Although she adores her dog sisters Lulu and Izzy, Izzy's constant need for attention makes her dizzy.

Life Lessons: Ethel Frances is inquisitive! She tries to learn a new life lesson every day.  But Ethel Frances is no pushover. She has strong feelings and opinions: on puppy adoption, puppy names, puppy school, bullying, sibling rivalry, dog walking, people who dislike dogs, mean dogs, sharing and caring, and more. Children can learn from Ethel Frances. She will certainly get you "dog talking." Ethel Frances is especially proud of her volunteer work, education, and Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Ethel Frances can also be naughty, driving mommy Marcia to the brink, but it's all part of the great joy of a dog's life. A must-have for children of all ages, their parents, and dog lovers everywhere. Ethel Frances brings love to all who meet her in person or through her book.

Ethel Frances began writing two years ago. Her inspiration comes from real life experiences: life at home; encounters while taking walks; and from her volunteer work. She does most of her writing when her house is quiet, early in the morning or late at night. Mom Marcia helps her by doing all of the typing. On most Sundays, you can find Ethel Frances and Marcia volunteering in a pet therapy program in Rockville, Maryland.
