Rocky’s adventures continue in a new book available from April 2014 called
\nRocky Returns.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When children from Hezlett Primary School announced that they really enjoyed\u00a0THE ADVENTURES OF A JACKABEE, <\/strong>they asked about a sequel to the book. I decided to give the children a challenge to do a painting of Rocky. The winner’s painting would be displayed on the front cover of the next book\u00a0ROCKY RETURNS<\/strong>. The first, second and third successful painters would also have their names in one of the adventure stories \u00a0along with Rocky.<\/p>\n

Below are the results<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Luis McMullan, age 7,<\/strong> from class P3, Hezlett Primary School in Articlave, was chosen to be the winner of the Paint Rocky<\/strong>\u00a0competition. Luis told us he loved Rocky “because he is very funny and a nice dog.” Luis also tells us that he loves Rocky because he is a rescue dog from B.A.R.K , and dogs from there have extra love for people.<\/p>\n

Second was Matthew Kirkpatrick age 7<\/strong><\/p>\n

Third was Clara-Rose age 7<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the second book about Rockys adventures. Rocky is a Jackabee, and very proud to be so. His dad was a pedigree Jack Russell and his mum was a pedigree Beagle. Rocky calls himself a pedigree Jackabee.<\/p>\n

Rocky has had many adventures in book one, which is available in most book shops, as well as on Amazon \u00a0Kindle etc.<\/p>\n

This time Rocky returns to his old friends in Whitehead and Castlerock and has many more exciting times.<\/p>\n

This book is dedicated to my two wonderful grandchildren Bobby & JulieAnn.<\/p>\n

Written by Malcolm Abbott & Edited by Muriel.<\/p>\n
