Real Life Hamster Story Leads To New Children's Book Series
Kristie's Excellent Adventures - Laundry Day
/EINPresswire.com/ Palatine, Illinois - November 13, 2012 -- Almost anyone who has owned a hamster has a hamster story, but one particular hamster story has become an entertaining children's book and the first book in a new children's series called Kristie's Excellent Adventures.
Laundry Day, by author Geri McNeely Schultz, is based on the true story of Kristie, her children's hamster, that accidentally went through a laundry cycle and lived to tell about it.
"I was encouraged to write Laundry Day by family and friends who heard the story of Kristie's actual laundry day experience," McNeely Schultz said of the book's origin. She went on to say, "While I never thought of myself as a children's book author, I did write poetry, so one day I put pen to paper and came up with Laundry Day." She partnered with illustrator Vince Bertolami to bring the character to life.
Meet Kristie, a curious little hamster who loves to sneak out of her cage and explore the world around her. Based on a true story, and using colorful illustration and rhyming text, Kristie's Excellent Adventures will take young readers on exciting journeys where they'll discover their own world all over again through the eyes of an adorable hamster.
Judging from its many positive reviews on Amazon.com, Kristie's Excellent Adventures- Laundry Day is a hit with both parents and children. "Children are already asking me when the next book is coming out and what it will be about," says the author.
A Spanish version of Laundry Day will be released in 2013 and will be followed by the next two books in the series, A Visit to the Fridge and Deep Sea Adventure.
