Kids from Los Angeles Review Pawprints, and the NEW Pawprints Writing Clubs.
From the very first Pawprints Writing Club at Balboa Sports Center, Los
Angeles.
"I'm very grateful for the kind comments of the kids, and many thanks
to Karen Kalsman, Recreation Facilities Director, and Stacy, Rich and
all the gang for their generous support of 'Pawprints!' Except for
the teasing on Squirrel Day, which will be a 'Pawprint"' to remember, in the next Pawpress books edition!"  |

"I
like ‘Pawprints’ because it’s funny, romantic, freaky, and sort
of weird. And because it’s about animals. Also because there’s
lots for reading...I bring the book into school, and my teacher
really likes it, too. I read the stories to kids at my
table, and they ask for more stories from 'Pawprints,' instead of other
books."
Karen Levano,
Age 8 1/2 |

"I
guarantee you if you start reading this book, you won't put it
down. It's exciting to see what's going to happen next!
I wish this class wouldn't end!

"Sometimes I read ‘Pawprints’ to my parents and they ask me if
Ina’s writing another book, because they really like the stories.
I like to take 'Pawprints' to read in bed at night, and I bring it
to school, too, to read to other kids. They really like the
stories, too."
Cynthia Kaye, Age 9 |
|
| "This is the best
reading and writing class I ever had! It’s fun and exciting...’cause
I love animals and the stories are about animals." Sophia Lopez, age 10 |

other places in Los Angeles have said:
