The timid beagle grows to become a playful, bold companion for the man who needs a bit of rescuing himself. This is a story of patience and love. How two hearts find each other and ignite adventures that will be treasured by many for years to come.

Book Reviews

I read “A Beagle Named Carol” to my third graders. The book is a great example of themes such as showing compassion, empathy, and kindness. My students were inspired by Cathy Schenkelberg’s style and her details based on a true dog rescue. After our connection with Carol, we have aspiring authors in our classroom!

I got this package in my mailbox at school this morning and I didn’t have time to open it until I got home just now! My tears of joy! The book makes me miss my babies so much, but it is a beautiful story and so wonderfully written! I love the book, and the author signed it for my class and sent a beautiful card. Thank YOU from the bottom of my heart!

Book Reviews

I was so excited to find “A Beagle Named Carol” and “Carol Takes Nice” for my 3-year-old grandson Graham. His mom Kelly and I visited Ireland before he was born, and the beautifully illustrated and wonderfully told stories of Carol are a great way to share Irish culture with him. Now he constantly requests these books at bedtime! Thank you Cathy!
