Bizzo's Holiday Secret

Taking its cue from the early days of radio plays, Bizzo's Holiday Secret Audiobook is a refreshingly new listening experience! Immerse yourself in a magical "theater of the mind", with whimsical character voices of dogs, cats and humans, sound effects that put you right into every scene, and music that sets the mood from beginning to end. Bizzo's Holiday Secret is the story of Bizzo, a dog matriarch and her two young companions, Bindi and Crikey. In winter, during the time of the white fluff, Aunt Elfie, a supernatural being, brings toys and treats to the animals on one special night. This gentle two-legger invites Bizzo to join her on a fantastical journey, where Bizzo will discover her own super powers, and an incredible secret she can share. Author's Note: Bizzo, Bindi and Crikey are real-life performing canines on which this fictional story is based. Chapter One - A Dog's Story Five-month-old pup, Crikey is excited about the coming of winter, a season he's never experienced.  Bizzo tells him how fluffy white flakes will fall from the sky, and four-year-old Bindi warns him about the sticky tree goo that can get in his fur.  But Crikey and Bindi are spellbound when Bizzo recounts her chance meeting with a magical two-legger who will bring them toys and treats.     Chapter Two - Anything But Normal Who is this magical two-legger and does she have super powers?  In Chapter Two, we begin to answer these questions by going back in time to meet Marie.  A tiny woman with a big heart for animals and a love of baking, Marie shares a little cottage with her animal friends.  Her day starts like all the others.   But as a series of events unfolds, Marie discovers that things are . . . anything but normal.  Chapter Three - The Visitor With lots of strange things happening at Marie's house, she calms her nerves by making her favorite cookies -- pecoons.  To Marie's amazement, a very famous visitor interrupts her baking and proposes a seemingly impossible mission for which he has chosen her to carry out.  While it sounds wonderful, Marie is sure it's beyond her abilities.  Or is it? Chapter Four - Ice   We fast-forward back to the future where we left Bizzo, Bindi and Crikey anticipating a day of fun in the white fluff.  Their excitement is palpable.  The morning begins with joyful hot cocoa, picture taking, racing around the yard in the snow, Crikey's first encounter with ice, and then . . . something unforeseen happens that will change everything.     Chapter Five - The Secret In the final chapter, the magical two-legger persuades Bizzo to join her for a journey unlike any other.  Now, in her enchanting and wondrous surroundings, Bizzo discovers how to use her new super powers to affirm beliefs she has always held.  Practice kindness.  Bring joy to others.  Reach out with love.  These are the best gifts anyone can give -- or get. A Review "An instant classic. Enchanting dogs, cats and humans travel through time, solve mysteries and find superpowers. This is an audiobook to savor -- push "play" and within moments, you relax into your chair, feel a warm fire and smell cookies baking in the kitchen. I highly recommend Bizzo's Holiday Secret for families, pet lovers, and anyone who appreciates a great story and beautiful acting."—Jeff Raz, Author "The Secret Life of Clowns"
