Book # 8
Crooze on, Croozer!
This true, inspirational story is told by Croozer,
a little blind dog. He shares his adventures and challenges, using
his superpowers of hearing, smelling, tasting, feeling and touching.
The author’s goals for this book were two-fold for readers of all
ages:
- Increasing the awareness & appreciation
of being blessed with sight.
- Instilling encouragement and inspiration with
readers who “see” through their superpowers instead of their
eyes.
Croozer’s book will be publicly presented by Peg,
along with Croozer & his “Mom,” on CBS’s “Good Morning Sacramento”
(CA) late March. They will be joined by one of the Non-Profit groups
that plays a vital role in the story. National media and school
visits will follow. Royalties from the book sales will be donated
to the 4 non-profits that collectively saved Croozer.
COMMENTS FROM OUR FRIENDS
“Peg Sundberg is an animal lover with a certain
affinity for horses and dogs. Her books are not only entertaining
but contain positive and humane life lessons. “Crooze on Croozer”
is an especially heartwarming story which exemplifies kindness
and compassion to animals with special needs.” Ruth and Nolan Ryan
“The main message of this book is: Don’t waste
time worrying about what you can’t do. Use the abilities you do
have. You may have hidden superpowers like Croozer has.” Mrs. Cynthia

“Cowgirl Peg” does it again with another
AMAZING book. I loved how she explained about being blind when
she is not blind. The story was heart touching, and I can tell
that all the rest of her books will be as great as this one is.
Thank you Cowgirl Peg for making another amazing book!-- Lily S.

“Crooze on Croozer AWESOMELY describes what it might be like
being blind. For example, I remember Croozer was sniffing around
at the dump in New Mexico. He said the smells were sour, sweet
and stinky. I thought that was a very good description. Basically,
what I’m saying is that Cowgirl Peg did an AMAZING job with detail
and painting pictures in words.” Jack B.
"I feel Croozer is the best book by far that you have authored.
You have masterfully personified this amazing dog into a life lesson for
kids just when they need it the most, post-Covid." Dr. Bruce Bordelon,
DVM
"Crooze On Croozer is a sweet children’s book-perfect to share.
The author carefully selected vocabulary and wordage to suit both reading
aloud or silently by an individual reader. The many illustrations beautifully
and playfully complement the story. It’s an upbeat and heartwarming mix
of a true story and make-believe that is sure to please adults and children
alike. Well done." Dr. Pamela Bird
