This Book evolved from my dog Luke. He is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I always wanted to do a children's book since going to college at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, but I never could come up with a character until I got Luke And what a character he is I believe everyone at some point in their life should own a dog. They are such great companions. You could have the worst day ever, and a dog will always be by your side to help you feel better. I want to thank my two daughters, my wife, my mom and dad, along with my family and friends that helped me and supported me in creating this book. Just for fun. . . See if you can find Luke's Bone on each page Also, try to find two faces smiling from above Sometimes we can find what we are looking for, and sometimes we can't.

Author and illustrator, Todd J. Vicker continues his book series with another fascinating story merging it with a delightfully illustrated children's book titled "Luke's BIG Surprise". Starring Vicker's famous companion Luke, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel as he continues as the books main character. This colorfully blended story takes the reader through a captivating educational journey with some of life lessons. Vicker also wanted to incorporate faith, sharing, patience, values and thoughtfulness towards others. "Luke's BIG Surprise" let's the reader teach young children their alphabet, colors, shapes and numbers which they can inturn practice for themselves.Born with an artistic sense and throughout his life, Todd has continued to provide us with his combination of love for animals and children. Creating books for children that brings Luke to life, for everyone to enjoy, is his passion.As a hidden surprise, Luke has hidden his bones again on each page for the reader to try to find.
