Rosie the truffle hound finds a yummy solution to the problem of not being able to safely eat the delicious chocolate truffles her family sells.

Rosie has a super sense of smell, even by dog standards. Unfortunately, one of the best smells comes from something dogs can’t eat: the chocolate truffles her human family sells in their shop. Not one to settle, Rosie sets out to find a life that might suit her better, giving lots of occupations a whirl, but none pan out. Then she hears about a job as a truffle hound. It turns out there’s another kind of truffle—the fungi kind, which grow wild underground—and they require a strong nose to sniff them out. Will Rosie finally find the perfect match for her unique talents? These truffles smell divine—so that sure would be a yummy solution!

Praise for Rosie the Truffle Hound

PRAISE FOR MY TINY PET
     * "Hartland's ingenuous gouache illustrations are chock-full of playful, humorous details, and the book's fresh storyline exposing the tiny world of tardigrades will have an undeniable appeal to young readers. . . . Original, superinteresting, expertly presented."--Kirkus STAR
     "Clever story perfect for the era of tiny living."--PW
     "Hartland uses a simple narrative and hilarious, detailed gouache paintings to tell a story that will have every child asking for a micro-pet. Fun and informative."--SLJ

PRAISE FOR LEXIE THE WORD WRANGLER (by Rebecca Van Slyke)
     * "Hartland's quirky gouache illustrations, reminiscent of Maira Kalman's work, play up the Western-style humor. . . . Here's hoping Van Slyke and Hartland will round up some more nifty yarns, as this is clever wordplay to share with kids."--Kirkus STAR
     * "Created in a rather childlike style that perfectly suits the story's droll, understated tone, Hartland's expressive gouache paintings include enough detail to help kids visualize the scenes, while illustrating the action with considerable wit. Highly recommended for reading aloud, just for the fun of it."--Booklist STAR
     * "Bold, folk art-style artwork. . . . Luckily for readers, Van Slyke and Hartland deliver linguistic delights on every page. Compound words, anagrams, word chains, puns--is there anything Lexie (and this book) can't do?"--PW STAR
