Brimming with love, devotion and a desire to help others, Alfie is the epitome of all dogs and a great role model for kids. It seems he's been that way since he was a pup. But today, Alfie is passing from puppyhood to adulthood and gets to celebrate his Bark Mitzvah with all of his family and friends. This book by Shari Cohen is beautifully illustrated by Nadia Komorova and, as a bonus, includes a CD of children's songs created especially for the book by the internationally acclaimed Cantor Marcelo Gindlin. “We take pride in every step along the way in publishing a book; from editing to proofreading to interior design to cover design, and clearly thinking through the title of a book for marketability purposes,” president Linda Radke of Five Star Publications told TDmonthly. “With each book,” she added, “there comes a new day and a new level of excitement. People are looking for what we’re publishing.” Launch date: January 2007.
