“Best in Show
is another champion in children’s literature. Karen LeFrak
shares her love of canine competition and good
sportsmanship, which kids are sure to love as much as they
loved Jake the Philharmonic Dog.” —Carol-Lynn
Parente, executive producer of Sesame Street
“If someone took such good care of
me I’d win Best in Show too!!! Gem would probably
still beat me with all those pom-poms. What an adorable
book!”
—Joan Rivers, comedienne, actress, author, and dog lover

buy books, have them autographed and get serious insight

Best in Show titles to his name. To date, Miki has sired
