Quirky and Cute Children’s Book by Late Author and Artist Rocky Schrecengost Set to Exhibit at 2025 London Book Fair

For most of the authors and publishers exhibiting at the London Book Fair, the goal is to increase visibility, attract distributors as well as learn about the newest trends in the global marketplace for literature. However, there are also those who simply want their displays to honor the artistic and creative minds behind the books, even when they have already passed away.

This is the case for late children’s book author and artist Rocky Schrecengost, whose book, “Mud Pups’ Adventures” Vol. 1, will be exhibited at the London Book Fair 2025 by the self-publishing and book marketing ReadersMagnet at stand #6A90.

While an oil field worker for most of his life, Rocky actually nurtured a hidden, artistic talent and was often known among his friends for remodeling projects and colorful, hand-painted signage. He also enjoyed spending time with loved ones, especially watching children and pets play.

This was how he eventually came up with the idea for the weird yet wonderful concept of “Mud Pups’ Adventures.” With illustrations he made himself, Rocky tells the story of strange but adorable puppies with wheels instead of feet. Together with their handler Red, they have a fun time racing through the mud after the rain.

Schrecengost’s wife, Kitty, has recently been in charge of promoting the book in her husband’s memory. “Mud Pups’ Adventures” brings together the many wonderful moments he had made with all those who knew him. She hopes the book’s display can serve to share his creativity with the world.

Visitors to the 2025 London Book Fair can take a look through Rocky Schrecengost’s “Mud Pups’ Adventures” Vol. 1 when it goes on display at the exhibit space of ReadersMagnet. The London Book Fair 2025 will be held as usual at Olympia London, London UK from March 11 to 13, 2025. Get a copy today on Barnes & Noble and Amazon.

Author Bio
Throughout school, the only class Rocky made straight A’s in was Art. He worked in the Texas oil fields for 37 years, starting at age 17. In his spare time, he took on remodeling projects and painted signs for friends who owned local businesses.

Rocky enjoyed spending time with family and friends. He was an avid NASCAR fan, and his favorite drivers were Petty, Earnhardt, and Harvick. He loved listening to 70’s music and anything by Shania. Rocky lived in East Texas with his wife and their Siamese cat, Nikki.

Rocky loved to watch children and pets play together. He came up with the “Mud Pups” idea while riding four-wheelers and watching dogs ride with their owners or chase them. He wondered how he could combine two children’s favorites—pets and four-wheelers—so he started writing and drawing.
