Who's Got the Face?

Doug Snelson is the award winning author of Who's Got the Face?, a 48 page, rhyming children's picture book that follows a a playful, energetic day dog named Face through his day. The clever rhyming patterns describe the various parts of the dog's anatomy -- face, tail, eyes, ears, nose, belly, paws -- while Face moves through his day in a colorful and fun environment. The book conveys the love between a dog and its family. Doug believes that children's books should be fun, interactive, and educational. His philosophy on story telling is based on the idea that children and adults should be at play as much as possible. Play includes two intertwined qualities--awe and concentration. Awe is the ability to see the beauty and wonder of life in anything and everything. Concentration is a focus on the joy of experiencing simple, everyday activities. Doug's second book, The Fable of the Snake Named Slim, is a 32 page, rhyming children's picture book about finding one's personal gift. The Fable of the Snake Named Slim was selected by the Mom's Choice Awards for excellence in family friendly media in the category of Children's Personal Growth Development. It also received the prestigious Pinnacle Book Achievement Award by the National Association of Book Entrepreneurs in the category of Child Development.
