Travel with Adventurous Cocker to Serenissima with New Book by Anne E. Moses

Dog Ear Publishing reviews a new book once again starring Gracie, the English Cocker Spaniel who loves to travel the world. Anne E. Moses’ latest illustrated book takes readers to Italy.

Boston, MA, July 31, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Gracie, an English Cocker Spaniel, just loves to travel! In her latest adventure, released by Dog Ear Publishing, Gracie visit Venice, Italy, a city made up of more than 100 islands with more than 400 bridges that allow her to dash from place to place. She’s there to visit her friend Marie, who lives in a 500-year-old pink palazzo on the Grand Canal with her four curious and capricious cats.

The captivating canine’s enthusiasm for the city and its history is infectious. She rides the canals in the gondolas and vaporettos used to get around Venice and, at Christmastime, delights at the sight of gondolas rowed by Santa Clauses, known as Babo Natale. From the city’s past as a trading port to its exciting architecture and artwork, Gracie describes it all in “The Gracie Guide to Venice.”

Readers get a peek into Marie’s wonderful house as well as attractions such as the Doge’s Palace, Piazza San Marco and St. Mark’s Basilica. She also describes some of the city’s most famous (and her very favorite) cafés, restaurants and celebrations. Gracie browses a flea market at Campo San Maurizio, explores a fish market near the Rialto Bridge and dons her special costume for Carnival. She even falls in love with a hand-blown glass bowl from Murano that would make the perfect supper dish. Back at Marie’s house, she finds a surprise waiting for her – the perfect souvenir of her visit.

The charming colored pencil drawings by author and illustrator Anne E. Moses bring the story to life in delightful detail. Gracie’s favorite Italian phrases are sprinkled into the story, enhancing the flavor of this enchanting tale of Venice led by its unique, four-legged tour guide.

There are three other books in the Gracie series: “The Gracie Guide to New York City,” “The Grace Guide to Good Manners for Proper Pooches” and “The Grace Guide to Her Really Fun ABCs.” Moses also wrote and illustrated the children’s bedtime story, “Gatos Musikos: A Secret Told by the Moon.” She has lived in the United States, Switzerland, Greece, Italy and the United Kingdom.

The author and illustrator, Moses, lives in Athens, Greece with her husband, Bill and, of course, Gracie! Together they travel, explore and go on wonderful adventures. Gracie and Moses will be pairing up again soon to create more exciting guides to cities around the world.
