Review
"Dean Koontz has done it again, creating a captivating book for kids--a perfect stocking stuffer." -- NJ STAR-LEDGER, November 27, 2005

From the Publisher
Trixie wrote this book to give a special Christmas gift to her friends who are service dogs for people with disabilities. As with her first title, LIFE IS GOOD, she is donating her royalties to Canine Companions for Independence (CCI), the national organization that breeds and trains service dogs for adults and children with disabilities.

From the Back Cover
Another tail-thumping, laugh-filled gem from the pen-weilding paw of Trixie Koontz. Rediscover the Magic and Joy of Christmas with Trixie (who is dog)as she shares her secrets to the merriest of seasons!

Review by Janice, who is human
Read while eating cookies and drinking milk. Laughed so hard, milk came out of nose. Warning: Do not read while drinking ANYTHING!

Trixie mercilessly funny. She reminds us that Christmas not about getting, is about giving and peace on earth for all men, and dogs. Cats, too, if possess generous spirit. :o)

Photography by Monique Stauder was excellent. No photos of Trixie with fake reindeer antlers. Preserves dignity of Trixie.
Illustrations by Janet Cleland also wonderful. Will make you full of Christmas cheer. Editing by Dean Koontz, Trixie's dad, fabulous as always.

For big belly laughs, pick up copies as stocking stuffers for children, and pets. You'll have to read it to your pooch.

A Joyful Gift for a "Golden Season"
While exploring the many Christmas offerings displayed in the bookstore today, I found the newest book by Trixie. A grand surprise, that! Forgotten were the other books with covers of different dogs and cats. Here was a little treasure penned by a Golden Retriever, and my favorite furry author! I thought at once it would make a fantastic Christmas gift, and bought it for myself. While waiting for my husband who was sampling a CD in the music section, I pulled Trixie's book out of the bag and began reading. Delightful! Worth every smile, chuckle, and sigh of "Aw..." And, Trixie is so smart and sweet looking, I wonder how many times the photographer had to stop just to give her hugs.

Now Hold On Just a Minute!
All your other reviewers are feeding the folks a lot of Malarky (PC word for BS). I am 75 years young and a retired engineer. My son is in his late 40's. My daughter, who gave me this book is 50. We all think this is about the greatest book ever written. It is definitely not "just for children". Not any more than, say, Alice in Wonderland, or Gullivers Travels, or Treasure Island, or Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, or The Wizard of Oz are "just for children". This is one of those wonderful works that appeals to people of all ages and all times. It will be as appealing 50 years from now as today, and not just at Christmas time. You will be proud to own a first edition.
