    After working in the film business for over a decade, I changed course to pursue a career in the world of children's publishing. I've since illustrated over twenty-five books for the children's educational and trade markets. I am also the licensed illustrator for the Splat the Cat - I Can Read series. "Goodbye Sukie" is my first release as both the illustrator and author.

    In my free time I enjoy painting, sculpting, and exploring the beautiful landscape of the pacific northwest. I also heap loads of love on my two furry babes, Sukie and Nikko. Yes kids, Sukie and Nikko are real! Thank you for checking out my page - I hope you enjoy my work!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as some of the other Splat books, However..
    Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2012

    This is my three year old daughter's favorite book at bed time. I ask her the same thing what story would you like? Her response, "a Kindle book daddy." so I show her the list of books on my Fire and almost every night out of all the books I have for her this is the one has been her choice.

    The story is pretty cute and easy for younger readers to follow, but seems to lack the depth of some of the other Splat stories. Well not it's not like I was expecting a children's book to have complexity like say Lord of the Rings, just that this one just a couple sentences per page as others really go into more detail to tell the story. I guess that is typical of most of the 'I can read' Level 1 books. To fill in more we go over the pictures building to the story as I read it to her.

    In the end my thoughts don't really matter as much as what my daughter thinks about it. She loves it at least for now, and as long as she is happy with the Splat stories I am happy. So it is worth the money for it.

    My son is a big fan of Splat the Cat. This book was another cute adventure of Splat's. A couple of "harder" words to challenge him, but he will soon master those.

    My five year old daughter loves the Splat series and I love having them available on the kindle. It is so convenient to load her favorite stories on the kindle rather than toting around a bunch of easily lost books.
