Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) October 03, 2017 - Remember Point publishes a witty, eye-popping, colorful new children's book, "Longfellow Finds a Home", written by Linda Shayne and illustrated by Art Leonardi. It is the first in a series of upcoming Wiener Dog Tales following the mischievous, heartwarming adventures of Longfellow, the blue wiener dog and the three funny puppies and the dachshund family he moves in with.

Preschool teacher Kamie Katzarska related, "After I read the book to my class I asked them: What was their favorite part of the book? And most said that they liked the part when the dog was called "hot dog" and also when the family took him with his guitar and suitcase into their home." Katzarska continued, "Every day a little girl from the younger class comes to my room in the afternoon and takes the book and sits 'forever' turning the pages. The book is a hit!"

"Longfellow Finds a Home" dazzles with the vibrant drawings of Art Leonardi. His decades of experience animating for Hanna Barbera, Warner Brothers, Steven Spielberg and Shelly Duvall bring a delightful, soaring feeling of adventure to this new children's book. Author, television and feature film screenwriter, Linda Shayne, has written for Disney, Ron Howard and Brian Grazer of Imagine Entertainment and has directed for Paramount and Nickelodeon and her verses are clever, humorous and evocative.

"Longfellow Finds a Home", a beginner readers children's book, is now available in both English and Spanish and in paperback and eBook on Amazon, Kindle and in selected retail stores.
