5-Star Review - “This is a great inspirational and fun story for young readers. Rick Felty’s colorfully illustrated picture book story, Tabitha Fink On a Mission to Mars, is a clever teaching tool to help young readers overcome or at least try to manage their fear of things that are new and different. By using a cute cat as the brave explorer, the story, with its rhyming verse and humorous innuendos, allows young readers to feel good and brave like Tabitha Fink.”
– Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers' Favorite


“Hang onto your hats…er…spaceships (!) because Tabitha Fink, the amazing one-eyed cat, is at it again, and this time she’s heading to Mars! Quill says: Another winner from author Rick Felty. I hope he plans to send Tabitha Fink on many more adventures because I can’t wait to see where she goes next!”
– Ellen Feld for Feathered Quill

The Adventures of Flapjack - Saying Goodbye - is the third in The Adventures of Flapjack series. The first two books followed the intrepid Australian Shepherd as he encountered the same types of issues that children face, such as adaptation, bullying and self esteem. These books engaged readers with a whimsical quality and a touch of humor. This story addresses loss and sets a more serious tone. How will the fun-loving and unflappable Flapjack react to a life-altering trauma? Those who are familiar with Flapjack might have a good idea.

Author

With a passion for dogs and children, Dan embarked on a second career writing children's stories about a very special Australian Shepherd. He has worked as a state park ranger and patrol dog handler, environmental administrator, attorney and legal manager, and has enjoyed writing stories, poems and songs since he was a boy. When his family adopted an Aussie named Flapjack, Dan felt that this cunning canine had a story to tell. So, Dan merely took dictation from Flapjack, and a series of stories, The Adventures of Flapjack, was born. Each story is a narrative poem wherein Flapjack faces issues similar to those faced routinely by children. Dan's love of writing is exceeded only by his love for his wife Kim, his two children and two grandchildren. Dan, Kim and Flapjack reside in northern California.
