LOVE IT

This is such a wonderful book full of phrases from Rose is Rose. I love this book and read it to bed every once in a while! Wonderful to read to children and adults alike!

A simple way to make you smile!!

This book if full of original pictures and phrases, yet follows the themes of the comic strip as any fan would expect! The picture on the cover and the title is what first grabbed me...and there's much more of that warm, fuzzy feeling inside! It's really worth the money to have a little treasure like this at home.

I love it

Rose is Rose is my favorite strip. It reminds me in some ways of my family. My folks are very close and I am a spoiled only child. Peekaboo is almost a carbon copy in her demeanor of my cat Animal. It's the most gentle strip in the papers and it really is my favorite. Thanks Pat.

Every page made me filled me with different emotions.

I switched between cossiness, pity, proud and joy. This little book filled me with memories of my childhood and I find something from my family everytime I look at it. Rose looks like me, Jimbo looks like my husband and Pasquale looks like my son. What else can I want? Thanks to Pat Brady for making us remember the little joys of everyday life.

Author's comments

Author's note: I'm very proud of this book, and it's important that readers understand that this is not a collection of reprinted Rose is Rose comic strips. This is a colorful, 128-page hard cover "gift book" presenting a series of 64 new, never-before-published drawings and thoughts on the subject of peace of mind, with the art featuring Rose is Rose characters Rose, Jimbo, Pasquale and Peekaboo, and is unabashedly derivative of early Charles Schulz books. While a few of the drawings are based on past Rose strips, all the art is 100% new from cover to cover. I hope you like it. : ) Pat Brady
