Ted Kennedyâs dog "Splash" to appear in childrenâs book
By Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa, Boston HeraldThis is not a ScrappleFace parody. I repeat, this is not a ScrappleFace parody. EFL. Word on the Beltway is that Sen. Ted Kennedyâs Portuguese water pooch Splash (Has he no shame?) is about to make a Splash on the kiddie-lit front. Kennedy is in talks with publishers to write a childrenâs book that gives a dogâs-eye view of Washington based on the adventures of his loyal canine companion. Working title: "A Bridge Too Far." "A friend suggested he do the book and the senator thought it would be a really great way to educate kids about how our government works, specifically the Senate, if they looked at it through the eyes of Splash," [Kennedy spokesguy David] Smith said. The book is in its early stages and although Kennedy has spoken to a publisher, itâs not a done deal. So do stay tuned. Woof. Publication tentatively scheduled for the 35th anniversary of Chappaquiddick. Posted by: Mike 2004-07-03 |
