    BogartAndVinnieEnter to win a copy of Audrey Vernick’s Bogart and Vinnie: A Completely Made-Up Story of True Friendship, illustrated by Henry Cole.

    Giveaway begins June 19, 2013, at 12:01 A.M. PST and ends July 18, 2013, at 11:59 P.M. PST.

    Reading level: Ages 4-8

    Hardcover: 40 pages

    Book Overview

    When Vinnie, a crazy-happy dog, gets lost while visiting a nature preserve with his family, he finds comfort in the company of Bogart, a big, lazy rhinoceros. Vinnie loves his new friend, but Bogart would rather just take a nap. A friendship soon blossoms-even if Vinnie’s definition of “friendship” is very different from Bogart’s-and when word of their unique situation spreads, Bogart and Vinnie are a worldwide sensation! But as soon as their fifteen seconds of fame ends, what’s left is a bond even Bogart can’t ignore.

    Pairing picture-book veteran, Henry Cole, with up-and-coming author, Audrey Vernick, this clever spoof of the unendingly popular interspecies animal-friendship story is full of heart and humor.
