About the Author

Julia was born in Austria of Ukrainian background. She had a post-war education in semi-rural south-east England where she, together with her brother, had a happy childhood. Julia has been a bit of a wanderer travelling to many countries but now lives in Adelaide, South Australia, where she has been settled for over 20 years. At high school, Julia was a chess champion but her best moves may have been in later years when she played competition squash. ​ Julia likes to think she thrives on change. The number of jobs she's had is much like the number of countries she's visited - about 35 in all. These jobs have ranged from teacher's aide, hand pollinating corn in fields, TV ads, working in a funeral parlour, plus an assortment of secretarial and administrative positions. Julia adores her miniature poodle, Pippin. Together they compete in dog sports and she walks him once and sometimes twice a day. ​ She also enjoys gardening, reading and writing children's stories. Julia is happily married with one son, two stepsons, one stepdaughter and four grandchildren. Her goal is to write a series of children's books and, to have an optimistic view on life that "the glass is half full, not half empty".

Butterball Gets Lost is the second book in the Butterball the Poodle series. This is a fantastic continuation in Julia Seaborn's children's literature series. Beginning readers will be entertained and educated all in one book.

​Butterball Gets Lost by Julia Seaborn is a children's picture book about a poodle named Butterball, with illustrations by Toby Mikle. After Butterball is left home alone when her owner goes shopping she digs under the fence and goes exploring. Butterball then sees an interesting hole and looks inside where she gets stuck. This is when the cute little bunny named Binky helps set her free. After Binky helps her get free, Butterball continues on and meets JillaRoo, a kangaroo. Later, Butterball ends up at the circus and realizes she doesn't know the way home. Will someone be able to help her find her way home?

Butterball Gets Lost is able to capture the feel of adventure and exploration in a short picture book. The artwork was beautiful, with a soft color pallete and simple art, it easily captures your attention and inspires the imagination. I liked the illustrations, especially the colorful lizards and other animals that Butterball meets along the way. These creatures were all emotive and usually happy. This book teaches young readers about animals and counting while entertaining children with a fun story. The questions at the end of the story help children practice counting and assess comprehension.
