Recourt, Kathryn: - Kathryn Recourt lives with her husband, Don, in pretty Niagara-on-the-Lake in Canada with their large, drooly dog, Archie. Part English Mastiff and part St. Bernard, this beloved rescue dog lives happily with Kathryn and Don, sharing his drool all around the house. Archie is the inspiration for the Sir Archibald Stories. Archie's drool was used in the first story in this series, Sir Archibald Droolsalot: Big Dog Blues. Now Kathryn has found a very different use for it in this second book! Kathryn has always read to her children and grandchildren and made up stories for them all. One of her greatest pleasures is reading with Grayson, who is 7; he does one page and she does the next. It is only a matter of time before Rachel, who is 4, will be joining in with a page of her own!
