Interview with Denette Fretz, Author of ‘I Want Your Smile, Crocodile’ & a Giveaway!

If the clever title of this new release from my friend Denette Fretz doesn’t grab your attention, then the cute cover certainly will.

I Want Your Smile, Crocodile is the latest release from the author who brought us Pirates on the Farm and Conrad and the Cowgirl Next Door. When you read titles like that you know you’re in for a treat, and Denette’s latest book does not disappoint.

I was thrilled when Denette agreed to participate in an author interview and even more thrilled when Zonderkidz, her publisher, offered to host a giveaway of the book.
