|  Jan Britland is an artist and  children's book author living in Punta Gorda, Florida. Jan and her  husband Bill, live with two bulldogs Duncan  and Madison, a parrot Lola and two red-eared turtles Sparky and Chip, all of  whom are portrayed in her stories.
 The Adventures of Rodger  Dodger Dog started with a dog that was tied to a tree in Jan's New Jersey  neighborhood.  The dog would climb up  into the tree if it was raining or if it was hot to keep  cool.  As she would drive her children to  school, Jan would make up stories about "Rodger Dodger" and the  adventures he would have up in the tree. Jan's children, who now have  children of their own, wanted to have the stories written down to read to their  children.  Jan agreed to write the  stories after reading a book to her grandson Dalton who upon completion of the book asked  "Gammy, what does it mean??" The book had no beginning, middle or  end. The book essentially was disjointed words with no story or rhyme.   The Adventures of Rodger  Dodger Dog are written in rhyme with a beginning, middle and end. They are  written to  entertain you and your children.  The first of the adventures  is, Talented Dog, and from there the adventures grew to twenty one. Covering some of  life's more notable experiences like going to the doctor,  the dentist,   Rodgers birthday party, and Camp Tee Hee, just to name a few. They are  all engaging and humorous.   The first book contains three adventures: The  Talented Dog, The Clever Dog and The Strongest Dog.   The Illustrations by Mike  Swaim are absolutely amazing, bringing Rodger Dodger and his pals alive with all  of the action you would expect from a children's adventure picture book.  The Adventures of Rodger  Dodger Dog are sure to become a favorite of all who read it.
