LaRue Across America: Postcards from Vacation

Dear Mr. Mark Teague,

I recently had the pleasure of reading your latest book LaRue Across America: Postcards from the Vacation. Being a dog lover, I am really not very fond of cats, so I can totally sympathize with how the dog, Ike LaRue, really feels. His mother, Mrs. LaRue tries to be a “do gooder,” so when her neighbor faints and falls ill, instead of taking Ike on a Mexican cruise, she decides to drive across country taking the neighbors two devious furballs along with them. Believe me, throughout the entire roadtrip, I would have sent postcards from every remote location in the United States to the owner begging for their return, as well. I would say, Ike does have some pretty valid points. I mean, for crying out loud, those cats pretty much turned the gift shop upside down at Dino-Land in South Dakota! I really found Ike’s sarcastic humor very entertaining.  Even better, I love how he actually writes real letters and postcards. Kids these days don’t really know what an actual letter even looks like as they often communicate in short texts and emails. I think many children and their parents will enjoy looking at your beautiful illustrations together while they read about such a unique cross country adventure.

All the best,

Keri Wilmot
