Ninja Bunny - a Silly Poem

 

 

I planted a garden now that it's sunny.

The next day it was eaten by a cute little bunny.

I saw him out there, munch, then hop,

Going down each row to start at the top,

Of each tender plant, then eat it to the ground.

Like a furry ninja destroying without sound.

All of my crops, all of my hard work.

I yelled at him once and that did made him jerk.

He looked at me then continued his snack.

He seems to sense I would never attack.

So I guess I'll just sit and enjoy the view.

Now the garden's gone, there's less work to do.

Work In Progress - EP Express!

Our current work in process is about a train named EP Express.  EP has to make it across the country to pick up and deliver all types of freight.  He will visit Cleveland, DesMoines, Denver, and a few other cities on his journey.

This book will help kids learn the days of the week as EP stops in a new city each day.

Illustrating this book will take quite awhile, but hopefully we will be ready to publish in a month or two.  We are very excited about the illustrations.  We are adding more detail to the pictures and this should be one of our longer picture books.  This book will be the first where we are using Corel 12 to create the illustrations.

Below is a sample illustration of EP travelling through Cleveland (it's always cloudy in Cleveland).

If you have a little one that likes books about vehicles, we think you will love EP! Until then you can take a look at our other vehicle themed picture books; Counting Train Cars, Cars and Trucks Around My Town, and Forktruck's Busy Day.  Links to all of our books are on the right side of this page.

Run Fast - A Silly Poem

I ran a race but I came in last.

I tried my best but I'm  just not fast.

Which became clear when I was passed,

By an older man with his leg in a cast.

Bert The Purple Monster - A Silly Poem

Bert the monster is huge and hairy.

If he wanted to, he could be scary,

But Bert has such a sweet disposition.

Being helpful and kind is his only ambition.

He has long horns and pointy claws,

And could easily snatch you with his paws,

But Bert would never cause anyone danger.

If you meet him once you're no longer a stranger.

Bert walks to town and sees friend after friend.

When he meets them he always has time to spend.

He gives them a hug and asks how they've been.

Then misses them horribly until he sees them again.

Chocolate Bunny - A Silly Poem for Easter

He sits so straight,  with that blank stare

Does he not know? Does he not scare?

Can he not sense the danger so near?

Is he so brave that he feels no fear?

He makes no attempt to get away.

I'm certain he'll be easy prey.

I pounce. I have him. I bite off an ear!

The first chocolate victim of Easter this year.

The New Life of Easter - A Picture Book

Happy Easter!

Our picture book, The New Life of Easter, will be free all day Wed. March 13.

This book describes the resurrection to little children. The concept of resurrection is hard for adults to wrap our minds around and children are sure to have questions this time of year.

Our book uses a chick hatching from an egg, a caterpillar emerging as a butterfly and a seed growing into a plant as natural examples to explain the concept oft the resurrection.

We hope you enjoy our book and have a blessed Easter Season.

Charlie Chooses - A Jake Dog Fable

Our newest fable stars two raccoons, Charlie and Jimmy. They are moving away from their parents to begin life on their own, and it is an exciting time as they prepare for their first winter.

Their parents raised them to make good choices but now they have to make their own decisions. How will they respond when they are faced with tough decisions?  Will they take shortcuts that may jeopardize their ability to survive the long cold winter, or lead to other danger?

This fable teaches children about the importance of making good choices and understanding that the easy way is not always the best way. Charlie and Jimmy know what they should do, but sometimes it is hard to make good choices when you are faced with a decision. We hope this fable helps kids understand the importance of making good decisions every day.

Charlie Chooses has three original illustrations and can be read as a bedtime story to little ones or read independently by older children. To purchase Charlie Chooses on Amazon, CLICK HERE.

Here, Charlie is in a tree. Did something scare him, or is he looking for something?

We would love your feedback on Charlie Chooses!
