Peaches is a family pet poodle who has great powers to find things when no one else can. In Finding Dipsey Doodle, Peaches is asked by Baby Squirrel to help find Dipsey. She seems to be lost and no one can locate her. Since Peaches believes it’s important to help friends whenever possible, she puts on her “private-eye hat” and looks everywhere for Dipsey. She even gets her mommy to take her out in the snow.  She asks Mr. Rooster, Mrs. Pig, and Mr. Horse if they’ve seen Dipsey Doodle. At last, Peaches finds Dipsey safe and sound in a very surprising place. Peaches returns Dipsey to her friends and everyone is happy once again.

About the Author

Ms. Hamilton and Peaches live in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. She spent most of her working career at Delta Air Lines in both New York City and Atlanta. Prior to taking early retirement in 2003, she headed up Delta Air Lines’ Worldwide Sales Training Organization. Ms. Hamilton took early retirement to start her own successful corporate training company. She has been involved in writing interactive training materials for about twenty-five years and she also does keynote speaking on customer service.

Ms. Hamilton has always wanted to venture into writing children’s books and thought this might be the right time. When taking Peaches for walks, children are always running up to her because Peaches is so cute (said by a biased parent), so Ms. Hamilton thought she would put the two together and Peaches The Private Eye Poodle was born.
