Another success for Danny – this time in Bologna!
I’ve been off much of the day doing other research, writing and making calls for my Gluten Free Help website, and just saw that everything was a complete success at the Bologna Book Fair! Who knows, perhaps Danny the Dragon and I will have to go to Europe sooner than we anticipated.

Reading to animals improves reading skills
My two puppies Bailey and Teddy graduated from their Canine Obedience class with flying colors! This is the first step to getting them to the status of “Canine Citizens,” which means they’re allowed to accompany me to schools, libraries and hospitals for book readings to children. I have an overall purpose with this: it gives me a chance to show kids how reading to their animals is a great way of improving reading abilities. It has been proven that reading aloud improves reading skills and speed.
