Baxter Meets His Monster by Jennifer Hart

A storyteller with a fun imagination, Jennifer Hart encourages others to pursue all things kind, adventurous and creative in the world. The second book in her Baxter the Dog series, Baxter Meets His Monster, follows the infectious curiosity of a friendly pup named Baxter.

One day a storm is building in the sky when all of a sudden, Baxter sees something in the distance coming towards him. After the figure breaks his fence and then hides, Baxter’s imagination runs wild as he imagines all sorts of silly creatures he could have seen. The one thing he doesn’t want it to be is a monster, anything but a scary monster!

Children and parents will giggle together throughout Baxter Meets His Monster, creating warm and lasting memories. The hand-drawn aspect of the illustration will inspire children to draw and create their own characters and stories. Most importantly, Hart teaches through her character Baxter that you should not judge others by their appearance and that you first need to look beyond the surface to find the heart of others. Another important lesson is when Baxter admits he made a mistake and gives a sincere apology. In life, mistakes happen, and we learn from those moments.

Don’t miss out on this fun and important tale that is perfect for the curious child in your life. Hart is an author to pay attention to as she grows her Baxter the Dog series. Baxter Meets His Monster is currently available for pre-order and is launching soon on March 20th, 2020.
