Here are some of the amazing reviews Joyful Trouble<\/em> received:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Such a lovely book!
This heart \u2013 warming story is definitely about friendship and the strong bond that links men and dogs\u2026and what a better \u201clens\u201d to see the beauty of this friendship than a story told by a Grandfather to his sweet little grandchildren\u2026!
But this story is most of all about the transforming power of love. Even the title talks about this: even though at the first sight the words \u201cjoy\u201d and \u201ctrouble\u201d are mutually exclusive, the situation changes under the magic touch of love\u2026.and becomes \u201cjoyful trouble\u201d..
I definitely recommend this book for both children and adults: each generation will find its message and certainly feel better after reading this well told story!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I came across this little story which reminded me of home in Cape Town many years ago when my family and I visited Simon’s Town and posed next to a statue built in honour of a great friend – a large Great Dane. I loved the way Ms Furstenberg retells this naval story in the setting of a grandpa and his grandchildren spending time together and he relating Joyful Trouble’s story to them. I thought she did a marvellous job of this loveable dog’s passing – comparing it to the little boy’s kite – even I felt a tinge of sadness for this dog who touched so many lives. I highly recommend this story to be read even to younger children before going to bed, doing so in the same way the story is told – every time the little ones visit granddad, he tells them a little bit more. The chapters are just the right length for such a reading session. I’ve sent the link to my 10-year old granddaughter so that her mother can download a copy for her.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is a wonderful story which tells a wonderful tale about a military service dog whose efforts will warm your heart. As a dog lover and trainer, it never seems to surprise me how loyal and dedicated ordinary dogs are. They make such a wonderful impact in our lives. However, when these dogs are serving alongside our soldiers and sailors, defending our country, their heroic tales are more inspirational. I think the author tells this story very well. It is relatable and I’m sure many children will gain a lot from reading it. It is a great read for adults too!”<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Very cute book that I read to my 7 year old daughter and she loved it. Fully recommend to any children, and not just dog loving children.”<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A wonderfully skilled blend of fact and fiction, beautifully narrated, and really touches on the important things in life.”<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Such a heartwarming, lovely story. Great for all ages. A cute twist on a true story. Like all of her books, you feel good when you read it.”<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Such a well written and heart warming story for all children. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Captivating read from the first page!”<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A book written for all the senses : tactile information, kinaesthetic, auditive….a strong auctorial voice explains every situation, making it possible for the reader to live it as a film.”<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“A delightful story narrated by Grandad about a mischievious fun loving dog who gained the friendship and respect of the Navy Seamen. Patricia brilliantly conveys the child-like innocence and wonderment of the children. The story will make you \u201cawww\u201d as well as \u201clol\u201d. Parents will enjoy reading Joyful Trouble to their little ones.”<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
 <\/div>\n\n\n\n
“I have just finished reading \u201cJoyful Trouble\u201d and I loved it!
Really funny and excellent likeable characters, especially the little brother Tommy. A charming read for those of us who understand the joys and pains of owning dogs.
Well worth a read, you won’t be disappointed. :-)”<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
