Following are a few testimonials for Fraser and Jill:

"What do you get when mix a big yellow lab, a room full of students and the author Jill Sheeley? Pure enthusiasm to grab her books and read! Students at Strawberry Park Elementary in Steamboat Springs, CO were delighted to host Jill Sheeley in the spring of 2006. She not only shared the writing process with students, but she brings adventures from her books to life as she shares her stories. Our students love her, and adore Fraser. Our teachers were thrilled to have an authentic opportunity for students to see the writing process from a writer. Librarians, like myself just love the excitement she brings to reading. We are all anxious for the next Fraser adventure to be released. Jill's books keep flying of the shelf by our students who still remember meeting Fraser and his amazing real life adventures. She is an author that is a must see for any school with students who have a love for dogs and crave the adventures found in the great outdoors of the Rocky Mountains."

“One of the highlights of first grade literacy is Jill Sheeley’s annual visit with her faithful Lab Fraser. The children are spellbound as they listen to Jill read about Fraser’s adventures. Whether on a ski mountain or on a raft trip, Fraser is the hero that young children can relate to. Many of my students have used the “Fraser idea” in their own creative writing.”

Dear Jill,

"I wanted to add my thanks to those of the kids from the morning session of the Aspen Writers’ Foundation’s kids camp. We all loved seeing you and Fraser. It was great for the kids to get a physical sense of book production, of how you write and think about books. They were astounded by the idea of 200 revisions. They always want to hear about you and Fraser and enjoy your presence whenever they have the chance.

Thank you."

Susan Benner


Dear Jill

"You are so terrific! Thank you for the very fun and educational presentation you gave my class last Thursday. They are still talking about it. You made a huge impact on their outlook concerning writing. The students are in the process of writing you thank you notes.

Thanks again. Can’t wait for next year!"

Dear Jill,

"I just wanted to let you know how much Sam enjoyed and was inspired by your presentation. He liked having your illustrator talk about her role. We just came back from a trip and lo and behold, he kept a journal—thanks to you. Sometimes certain special events really click with kids and for Sam, your presentation really clicked for him!

Thanks."

Joni, mom of Sam
Carbondale Elementary School student


Dear Jill,

"I just love the book and everything else. When I first got the package, I screamed because I was so excited and after that, I called my mom to tell her about the new book. I will be in the 5th grade and that means it is my last year to George Elementary. Winston and Millie (her dogs) are doing great. How is Fraser and Maggie doing? We have been very busy…….

Love."

Meg, Winston and Millie
