The Petite Peachy Panel comments:

This book is different than any other book my son owns. Best in Show, written by Karen LeFrak, gives an inside look at the dog show world. Although we don't own a dog, my son is enamored of them. He truly enjoyed this story about Gem the poodle and her rise from the kennel to being awarded "Best in Show"! The illustrations by Andrew Day are fabulous- really charming and they very much enhanced the already wonderful story. A story of the dog show world, but also a story of friendship between a young girl, Abby and her pup, Gem, Best in Show is already a new favorite in our house! This book will surely become a favorite of any child, pet lover or dog show enthusiast!

“Best in Show” by Karen LeFrak is a true first place finisher. Your child will just love reading and listening to this wonderful story of a young girl who help raise a puppy to Dog Show Stardom. From the litter to best in show, there are great lessons to learn about patience, determination and pure love for pets. The illustrations are fun and colorful keeping your child totally engulfed in the story. And if your child is really into dogs, this book will not only feed into their passion, but also is instructive too. Learn all the right moves to help produce a champion. I also loved the last page which gives you in”fur”mation on how to get started and interesting facts. What a treat!

I just read Best in Show by Karen LeFrak What a great find for dog lovers and moms who are looking for something different to read! A fun read with a fantastically happy ending -- my daughter loved it! Abby and her poodle Gem really made us think about how much we love our dogs! My daughter was even asking if our crazy English Springer Spaniels could win Best in Show. The illustrations by Andrew Day are adorable, our little baby was cooing as I showed them to her too. Blue Ribbon all the way!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
