A fairy-filled Halloween tale, The Jersey Stomp romps with the lyrical, rhyming quality of Room on the Broom and The Night Before Christmas. Complete with an original song, it celebrates music, friendship, and the joy of gathering.

Bob and Roxanne—a smooth mutt with a penchant for jazz and his irrepressible pug best friend—leave their carefree California life behind for a rambling old house on a river in New Jersey. Complete with an original song, The Christmas Stomp ends with the realization that wherever you find love, you will find Christmas.

Very much like The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook, these recipes are organized around the parties that Roxanne throws at the end of each spectacular tale. Featuring 104 tried-and-true recipes and entertaining tips, young chefs will learn real techniques as they prepare memorable meals alongside their favorite adults—while discovering the art of candlelight, the many uses of an old punch bowl, and all the glittery touches that they need to entertain with Roxanne’s signature pug flair.

Imagine Lucille Ball as a pug—one who runs a world-famous café, throws poetry slams and wild parties for animal friends from around the world, and somehow always finds herself in spectacular trouble. If you were to put Eloise at the Plaza and Dory Fantasmagory into a blender, you'd get the general flavor of The Roxanne Diaries.
