Hi Candyce,
Hope all is well in White Plains.... : )
Just wanted you to know that my grandchildren were down for the weekend. I read them Oliver's book! They loved it! It was the hit of the weekend... :)
Morgan, my 7 yr. old granddaughter wanted to read it to me instead of playing with the Wii! Brandon (2) loved the pictures ... but he kept calling Oliver ... Piper!They couldn't get over a "Lady" that I know wrote this book! ; )
They also were amazed that you personalized it for them.... Thanks again!
Hugs to All!

"Oliver" is a wonderful book. It is well written and easy for even a small child to understand and the illustrations are beautiful. It's message is sweet and very comforting, especially to a child who has to take medication all the time. The Children's Library, where my therapy Bichon, Cosmo, and I visit twice a week, got the book to have in the library. Cosmo has a big fan club and the kids think it's very neat that we have actually met Oliver and his owner. Thank you, Candyce, for this uplifting story. Oliver is an inspiration to us all.

Hi Candyce,
Last Friday Gigi and I visited my daughter's (Mrs. Torak's) kindergarten class and Mrs. Torak read "Oliver" to the class. The children were delighted to see Gigi and loved the book. They asked lots of questions, and we all had a wonderful time. I've attached a couple of pictures of Gigi and me and a little girl from the class. Thanks for writing a lovely book about a sweet little fluff.
Fluffy hugs,
-Gigi and Vivian
Dear Candyce,
I received your book today. I love it! It's sweet and beautiful! I'm going to
the website and ordering another copy. I want to give it to my wonderful vets!
If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could I ask you to inscribe it for them?

I did receive the book and it is just lovely! I am using it in my classroom of
preschoolers as a teaching book about animals and vets. I am taking a
certification class for early childhood teaching and I am going to share it with
the other teachers in my class.

Today I received in the mail the book entitled Oliver by Candyce Corcoran. It's
a wonderful little book about a rescued Bichon named Oliver, his visit to his
veterinarian, the diagnosis of hypothyroidism, and how Oliver will be able to
stay strong and healthy with medication. It is beautifully written and
illustrated. I hope to take Gigi in to the kindergarten class that my daughter
teaches when she reads it to them. The book is a lovely example of a Bichon book
written by a very loving and caring author.

Just wanted to tell you that two recipients of your book were enchanted with it.
I also donated one to the children's department of the library. They were
thrilled to have it.

I showed "Oliver" to the folks at the Children's Library in Oak Ridge and they
are going to order it. Maybe one of the kids will read it to Cosmo when he's
there!

I must tell you, I have received my copy of your book, and am delighted!! What a
sweet, sweet story. And the illustrations, especially the one of Oliver from the
back, looking over his shoulder, are the cutest depictions of a bichon that I
have seen.

I received the books today. Thanks for getting them out so quickly. The book is
