LOS ANGELES - Oct. 22, 2018 - PRLog -- Derek Taylor Kent, the best-selling, award-winning author of ten popular children's and YA books is releasing his eleventh book and second bilingual English/Spanish book, Doggy Claus/Perro Noel, on Tuesday, November 13, 2018.

Jingle the puppy was found on the steps of an animal shelter and has never had a family. When he learns about Christmas, he does his best to cheer up the other dogs in the shelter. Luckily, Santa Claus happens to be flying overhead, notices his spirit, and decides to adopt him! However, when Jingle learns that Santa only delivers presents to kids on Christmas and not dogs, he takes Santa's sleigh in hopes of delivering a present to every dog in the world. By the end, he discovers that there's something dogs want on Christmas even more than presents.


Derek's previous bilingual book, El Perro con Sombrero, has been one of the best-selling bilingual books of all time since its release in August 2015. El Perro con Sombrero received rave reviews, including from The New York Times, Publisher's Weekly and Kirkus.

Beautifully illustrated by Lynx Animation Studios, Doggy Claus/Perro Noel is filled with spectacular and hilarious scenes, including the discovery of a band of other animal "Clauses" such as Bunny Claus, Wormy Claus, Turtle Claus and Kitty Claus. Most importantly it teaches children lessons about what truly matters on Christmas — that it's about being with the ones you love and spreading joy and kindness to those around you. It also teaches important lessons about the importance of pet adoption and language-learning.

"I have visited many dual-immersion and language-centered schools," says author Derek Taylor Kent. "And each time they have told me there is a dire shortage of books that are appropriate and helpful to their students. My hope with Doggy Claus/Perro Noel and future books is to bridge the gap, connect cultures, and inspire kids to be kind, curious and excited about other types of people and cultures."

Doggy Claus/Perro Noel hardcover edition retails for $19.99 and will be available on Amazon.com, school book fairs, bookstores, and select children's boutiques, gift shops, and children's museums throughout North America.

Personalized, autographed editions of Doggy Claus/Perro Noel along with bonus gifts (including collectible pins, buttons, magnets, lip balms, and more) will be available at http://www.WhimsicalWorldBooks.com.
