July 03, 2008: Wooffer, by Betty Fasig This well written little book holds many surprises in the lessons the animals on Ms. Fasig?s farm learn from one another. From an abandoned dog to a seven legged spider, the animals on Wooffer?s farm live their lives in harmony by resolving their differences and coming to the aid of one another. When dilemmas come to the any of the creatures dwelling there, Wooffer steps up as the hero and finds solutions with the help of his Mom, Ms Fasig. Ms. Fasig writes in a style that is easily read and appeals to young and old alike. She gives voice to each of the creatures, reminding us that even the smallest animals have lives and problems not unlike humans that they must solve. This reader found Wooffer to be a refreshing change of pace, putting human suffering in perspective and fading the world?s woes into the background, if only for a short while. I was sorry to have finished this little volume and look forward to any future offerings by this author. Zada Connaway Author of: Mother's Journals: parts 1, 2 and 3 ISBN # 1-4241-6969-0

August 24, 2007: Recently I was given the priviledge of being able to read Wooffer by Betty Fasig.This book is compiled of 33 short stories each adding it's own flavor.My favorite was one of a peacock named Cho Lee Yen.As an Artist it was even more fun reading Betty's book as she sent my imagination soaring and I wanted to get my art materials right out and start drawing the characters right then and there.I was imagining these cute pot belly piggies and I could just see Cho Lee flying from the roof top and lets not forget good ole Wooffer too.She did a great job describing the characters and putting you rihgt ther ewith them.I definitely would tell people to buy this book.It's a great read! If 5 is the top rating in stars it definitely has 5 Big ones from me!!
