A puzzle library for every reader
Michael Petitpas is a Canadian author and independent publisher of more than 190 books on Amazon. The newest chapter is a family of pet books — the seven-book "My Pet and Me" keepsake series for kids, The Whole Family Puppy Training Book, the care planner trio (The Complete Dog Care Planner, The Complete Cat Care Planner, and The Senior Dog Health Journal), Forever My Dog, a memory book and keepsake for the dog who shaped a family, and the "Gentle Goodbyes" picture books that help children ages 4–8 say goodbye to a beloved pet — written from real life with his Duck Tolling Retrievers, Crosby and Ember. The catalog began with, and still includes, 180+ large-print puzzle and activity books: word search, adult coloring, sudoku, mazes, and ABC workbooks that are genuinely enjoyable for kids, families, and seniors alike.
