The Books
The first book is titled "Adventurous Jenna finds a home". In this, the original book about an adventurous puppy, we are introduced to six month old Jenna. After an adventurous morning she is rescued from the pound by a nine year old boy Jordan! Though trying to be cautious, Jenna is still so very adventurous. It is almost like adventure find her. She races down a hill in a sled, rides in the back of a pick up truck, runs a muck in a supermarket, goes for a swim down a creek, and flies down the street in Santa's sleigh. This soon to be classic is where it all began for the adventurous, lovable puppy.

It was his life as a teacher that inspired him to write a children's picture book to help children learn to love to read and continue that love. He currently lives in Bayonne, NJ with his amazing wife and awesome son and second family dog, Bart.
Testimonials
I loved the pace of this story, each little adventure was quickly
followed by another one - what an adventurous little puppy - and I also
love how Jenna always found the most exciting ways to do things. The
illustrations are beautiful and portray Jenna in a really lovable and
it was a fun and playful story as well as being packed full of
adventure, joy and laughs! What a lovely happy ending it had as well,
from Jenna living on her own and eating food left behind by a family to
having a loving family of her own … and still having time for
adventures! Beautiful animal story and perfect for bedtime reading!Adorable story and very cute illustrations! Jenna & Jordan will warm your heart. The repetition and story are wonderful for little ones learning how to read. I would definitely recommend this to the ages suggested on the book summary and for a read aloud story-time book!
