San Francisco Bay Area native and author, Carolyn Joyce Dodds, creates Tessa's Tall Tales, a quick-witted, whimsical tale intended for school-age children. Tessa delights in telling tall tales but has she stopped telling the truth altogether? Tessa and her parents must navigate the waters between truth and falsehood without crushing creativity. It is a challenge for all imaginative children. Readers will delight in the adventures of wolf cub Tessa, her parents and friends as fancifully drawn by Academy of Art College graduate, June Gomez.The author confesses to be an inveterate, storyteller herself. "Children are instinctive storytellers often unable or unwilling to distinguish between truths and untruths. The knowing parent encourages their young child's creative gifts while carefully guiding them away from deceit. Tessa and her parents navigate that journey as the little wolf explores space, seeks pirate treasure and awaits the tooth fairy."High Praise for Tessa's Tall Tales"Have you ever wondered what it is like for a child so full of imagination, who craves attention and views the real world as boring with no one to listen? Meet Tessa, a young wolf cub who tells tall tales of adventure, leaving everyone wondering what is true and what is not. Carolyn Dodds delivers a sweet and poignant story as she brilliantly captures the joy of Tessa, her parents' concerns and the careful way in which they come to a solution without thwarting Tessa's passion and love of storytelling."Maribeth BoettcherRetired teacher, Brentwood Elementary School District Librarian and lover of children's stories
Take one sword-wielding penguin, add a time traveling cowboy, and throw in more zombies than you can shake a stick at. Mix it all together and that's just a taste of what you'll find in this all new collection of four novellas by Steeven R. Orr. This quirky collection opens with "Then a Penguin Walked In", a fantasy tale about Dominick Hanrahan, a fast food cook surrounded in the gray of day to day dullness and drudgery. Then a penguin walked in, taking Dominick from a life of tedium and thrusting him into a world he never knew existed. But is he destined to save his new home? Next is "Fanboys of Doom" in which former police officer and survivor of the zombie apocalypse, desperate to add the Holy Grail of comics to his mobile man cave, will risk being eaten alive by a bevy of zombie fanboys to gain his prize. Then, in "The Undead of the Night", a group of strangers find themselves trapped in a convenience store in the middle of nowhere as the dead rise to feast. But not everything is as it seems. (A Norman Oklahoma adventure). And in the last tale of this collection, "The Other Gunfight", an icon of the Old West travels in time to the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral on a mission to stop a fellow time traveler from killing the wrong person. Humorous, exciting, and just a bit weird, "Then a Penguin Walked In and Other Tall Tales" is the book you didn't know you needed until now.
