Ever since they can remember, 7 year old Robbie, 5 year old Jon and 4 year old Vandi looked forward to the fun visits at their Grandparents' house. They especially liked playing kick ball with Granddad. He played the game very well. They always marveled at Granddad's great kicks. He never tired from playing the game, even when Grandma would call them inside from the large grassy backyard. He was the last one to come inside to eat lunch.

After lunch, Granddad goes to sleep in his recliner. The children are curious about Granddad's behavior. Grandma carefully explains to the grandchildren that no matter what is done by the doctors or the family, Mr. Alzheimer's is taking over Granddad. Robbie asks who is Mr. Elahammer's, with his mispronouncing of the word Alzheimer's, Mr. Elahammer's is born. Mr. Alzheimer's, explains Grandma is.....mmmmm Granddad's unfriendly ghost. He makes him do funny things. The children try to think of ways to vanish the ghost.

Jon misses his red fire truck, accuses Granddad's ghost of hiding it. They all searched the playroom, and Grandma spots the truck behind a partially opened closet door. robert then teasingly accuses Jon of having a ghost of his own. Grandma then expalins how serious Granddad's illness is and how it is necessary to always love and respect their Grandfather.

Imagine how busy it must be for a four year-old girl with an inquisitive younger brother! Her life is as "busy" to her, as the hectic life of any adult. When this small girl begins her day, she begins giving her younger brother lessons in singing, reading, tumbling and more. ÊTaylor realizes that she isnÕt the only child in her family any longer and it is important for her to teach her little brother the ropes.

As Taylor, our young teacher, begins her day, she introduces her loving family. She shares what is special about herself and how she helps her little brother Dalton. She helps him swing in the park, read and write, choose the best books, sing to her parents, take safe pony rides from Dad, cook, tumble and play safely using the proper safety equipment.

This is a 530 word heart-warming tale of a big sister that tends to her little brother's every need under the watchful eye of her parents. It was written with the Òbeginning readerÓ in mind.

Child minders through the ages have at one time or another had to deal with the most excruciating, frustrating, fingernails on a black board irritant know as a whine. Mr. and Mrs. Grouse, the proud parents of Winifred, are no exception.

Having tried everything they knew how to stop the indelible whine of Winifred's ceaseless demands, they finally tap into a source discovered through their newspaper.

The Whine Whittler is no run of the mill speech therapist. Nor is he the instructor on the latest techniques in speaking properly through the use of cassette tapes, but rather a magical being coming from out of nowhere and leaving the same way. His presence is to educate the little whiners about why speaking clearly is so important, and then reinforces his message by carving an intricate little device that briefly takes away their ability to speak normally.

Hopefully, the little whiner will soon realize the object of the lesson, and begin to understand that clear speech, and manners, too, will soon be more effective than whining.

Undoubtedly, everyone who has ever loved and cared for a child will wish that it was as easy as simply calling the number of The Whine Whittler.

Sunday Morning at Momma's House is a book that celebrates the life of Ethel Lee Miller and one of many family traditions - Sunday morning breakfast. The story is told through the eyes of her granddaughter, eight-year old Robin Leigh.

The Miller family home was multi-family dwelling where Robin Leigh lived along with her grandmother, mother, and other family members. Momma, the family's guiding force, set the tone for everything that was done and for everyone who followed. Mealtime was the time of day where all the family gathered to share strong Christian and family values which was evident in all that she said and did.

Although the beautifully prepared breakfast, that featured everything from homemade rolls to country ham and every Southern comfort food in between, was a major part of the Sunday experience, Momma made sure that the most important factor was never forgotten - God's love. She always reminded her family of His provisions for her and the family made everyday special - not just Sunday!

Momma's place at the head of the table was a place of power and security and as she shared with the entire family how much they were blessed, she taught the family how to pray for those less fortunate. Then it was off to church for Robin Leigh where she soon began to anticipate "Momma's glorious Sunday dinner".

Way down deep in the Murkylurky Goo
Animals live like people do
Sloshing, slipping and taking a gander. . .
TA DA, there appears Amanda Salamander

*******

Amanda is her name, she shines like the sun
She wants to be friends with everyone
This unique salamander changes colors
And YOU might too!
Just like chameleons do.

*******

But Amanda's color starts shedding
And Norton wonders what kind of wife
he is getting?
"WHO ARE YOU?" Norton cries.
"Amanda should be at my side."
"Don't worry Norton," she sighs.
"I'm still the same salamander inside!"

*******

You said you'd swim,
you said you'd be true.
We said happily ever after
but now we're both blue."

"Before our wedding,
in your bright carrot color,
you looked like ME
but you changed to another"

"Sunshine am I.
That's all I can be.
YOU should be golden
And ACT JUST LIKE ME.

Your feet are still rotten
You smell like a louse.
When you walk in the door
You stink up the house."

*******

"He wants a carrot,
should I pretend to be that?
I need the shine of the sun
on my back.

If I can't be orange,
And he can't be yellow
Then why do my insides
jiggle like Jello?"

The more she thinks,
the more she cries,
because she knows
how hard she tries

So what went wrong?
She does not know.
Can she ever make her hurt feelings go?
She feels as if there is no hope
"I wonder if I have been a dope."

*******

Amanda, happiness shines from the inside out,
and that shows others what YOU are about.
It's fun to accept friends just as they are,
So everyone shines like their VERY OWN star!"

*******

If you visit the Murkylurky Goo
take a gander

And see if you can spy
this sunshiny salamander

Amanda decides
she will not be blue
What color will she choose to be?
What color are YOU?
