The Crazy Kids Guide To Cooking For Your Pet

Nominated For National Book Award by ForeWord Magazine

The Crazy Kids Guide To Cooking For Your Pet has received a high honor in the national publishing world.  The cookbook has been nominated for a Book of the Year Award by ForeWord, a magazine that showcases independently published books.  It is one of only six finalists chosen nationwide in the Pet Book category.

According to ForeWord, the Book of the Year Award was established to bring the achievements of independent publishers and their authors to the attention of booksellers and librarians.  Books are nominated for the award on the basis that they “expand a reader’s world, introduce a voice society needs to hear .. .  (and) entertain so compellingly that all distractions fall away.”

“We are very thrilled and honored to be chosen for a ForeWord Book of the Year nomination,” said Barbara Denzer, who with Missy Denzer was one of the book’s “translators.”  “I think the magazine’s judges were struck by the book’s originality and the fact that it’s much more than a cookbook. And I’m sure that (illustrator) Manny Rodriguez’s colorful graphics and cover art played a role in the judges’ decision.”

However, the book’s “author” Crazy Dog put an entirely different spin on the award nomination. “I’m totally unsurprised,” said Crazy Dog.  “Those human judges finally figured out what we dogs and cats have known all along – that this is a really awesome book.”
