MEET “TROUBLE THE DOG” AND HEAR A READING OF HIS STORY AT BARNES & NOBLE BOOKSTORE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18 AT 7:00PM

 Renowned Children’s Author Sheila Duncan, President of Larkin LTD., will present a reading for kids of all ages that will share the adventures of its popular children’s character, Trouble The Dog.  The reading will take place at Barnes & Noble Booksellers, 210 Andover Street, in Peabody on Friday, October 18th at 7:00PM.  Families looking for something fun to do on a Friday night are highly encouraged to attend. 

Sheila Duncan will entertain families with a lively narrative of “Here’s Trouble”, a children’s book that takes young listeners through the magical adventures of this adorable, quizzical little puppy.  Attendees will also have a chance to win a free Trouble The Dog house.  According to Ms. Duncan, "Instead of simply creating a children's character, we created a character with a mission. The book helps kids learn how to deal with the bumps that life brings - gently and with humor."

Attendees will also be the first to see Trouble The Dog’s new “Trouble TOONS”, an intriguing 3D comic book cube that captures the adventures of Trouble while captivating the imagination of the audience.  Sheila Duncan and her company have received hundreds of letters from families around the world sharing how Trouble The Dog has become a friend and trusted confidante that children gravitate toward....helping them to express their feelings openly and making them feel safe.  Many have commented on the superb quality of the Trouble plush dogs which are 100% made in the USA. Trouble The Dog plush toys and books will be on display during the reading. 

One Trouble fan wrote: “I didn’t expect the quality of Trouble to be so outstanding. I don’t think I’ve ever seen another stuffed animal that was so well made.  You must be so proud of your product.  I guess it goes to show what “Made in the USA” means—quality and pride in the product.”
