The Case of the Missing Steak Bone/Who Let The Dogs Out

In The Missing Steak Bone story, mini-poodles are way too smart–or so some think. In this tale, smarter, older brother Woody thinks he’s pretty slick when he nabs a steak bone their mom had bought them. Problem? It was intended for his younger, shyer brother as well.  Find out what happens in this comedy of errors that puts one clever poodle and his ability to share in their proper place.

In the second story, Who Let the Dogs Out?,  Archie is so welcoming to his prior shelter friends, what’s a few more mouths to feed? Returning to the shelter he had come from, and wanting the same good life he is now accustomed to, he lets all of the dogs out and of course, brings them home. What kind of chaos is brought to mom’s house? And what does she do about it? Find out what happens to the crew and one precious poodle that mom just can’t live without.

Awarded with a Mom’s Choice Silver Medal for excellence in Juvenile Fiction the series informs readers that where poodles go, trouble is sure to follow–in the funny, silly and sometimes clever antics retold in The Adventures of the Poodle Posse. Follow the trails of Woody, Archie, Daisy and the ever-growing posse of four-legged characters that keep their loving owner, Mrs. Flout, on her toes, spun around and baffled, as her furry little family brings her joy, unexpected twists and turns and a few life lessons along the way.

True events led to the first story in the series: A comedy of errors has the posse chasing their own tales as they search for the missing bone. Upstairs, downstairs, in my lady’s chamber? You never know where you might find a bone and a little brotherly love along the way.

Who said one dog is ever enough?Who Let the Dogs Out, The second tale in the book, twists a few real life events into one doggone good adventure that supports the benefits of animal rescue—to both their owners and maybe, well maybe, grudgingly them as well. A new sister in the midst? It might shake things up just a bit.

    Woody and Archie are two poodles that will make you smile. They are more than pets. They are actually friends who demonstrate the qualities we try to instill in young children. The humorous, vivid details of the stories make for a great read-aloud for youngster and a stepping-stone into chapter books for primary grade readers.

    Four paws up for this cute story. Witty phrases keep you begging for more.

  3. DR

    A highly entertaining read. Mischievous poodles make everyone true dog lovers. They are great at sniffing out one amusing escapade after another. Congrats to Chrysa Smith for creating her first children’s book—a true delight!

About the Author

Chrysa Smith

Well, let’s see—I’ve spent over 20 years as a freelance magazine writer, covering everything from celebrity chefs and luxury resorts to homing pigeons and pot-bellied pigs. Along the way, my work has appeared in publications like Costco Connection, Pool & Spa Living, Bucks County Magazine, Philly Style, Design NJ, The Cooperator, and more. But beyond the bylines, these experiences have given me a wealth of knowledge about fascinating people, places, and topics.

In the world of children’s literature, I’ve been fortunate to receive multiple Mom’s Choice Awards for excellence in Juvenile Fiction, a top pick on Amazon’s Children’s Bookshelf, a Females in Fiction award, and glowing reviews from The Children’s Book Review and Midwest Book Review. With an endorsement from The Dove Foundation, my passion for storytelling continues to grow. But just as much as I love writing for kids, I love engaging with them in classrooms—sharing the magic of storytelling and the journey behind the words.
