REVIEWS FROM CUSTOMERS
"This children's book is truly lovely; the drawings are expertly done with details and frivolty sure to please all ages making it a perfect gift for somone young or young at heart."
-Macon Magazine
"First I tried out the Kindle version for my iPad and LOVED IT!!! The drawings are delightful and the deep colors fairly glow on each page. After reading the rhyming story through, I found myself mentally rhyming everything. It demonstrates the lovely side effect of reading verse! Now, on to the grands....
I just sent The St. Nicholas Yorkies to my 2 sets of grandkids (from 6 to 13 yrs.) for Christmas and can't wait till we can read it "together" via phone or Skype. They'll love seeing the "Yorkies' fierce brigade" and finding all the rascally cats. The story and the detailed illustrations will bear frequent repetition as a happy and colorful Christmas tradition!"

High Flying Yorkies!
With charming illustrations, the story is set in York, England, home to small dogs with a great courage. Banding together, they step in, save Christmas Day, and win our hearts along the way.

Cover to Cover Color!
Elaborate, fanciful images depict the wooded world of St.Nicholas’s estate, two very smart owls, and the Lab puppy they rescue. This book is another creative treat from a very imaginative author. For all ages, these stories move beyond the Christmas season to introduce us to other settings where that festive, caring spirit continues.

Illustrations Jump off the Page!
This story is about the yearly preparation for Christmas Eve and the role played by friendship. Every friend is important, from heads of state to a cat and a house mouse. With great imagination, this book creates a unique answer to the way St Nicholas travels all over the world delivering presents in just one night.

These books are becoming a tradition in my family. Love that there are two new ones this year. The drawings of Paris are outstanding. Readers of all ages will appreciate these stories!

Paris Sizzles!
Fully illustrated in all its glory, Paris is the setting for St. Nicholas and his team who arrive by airship to attend the parades of carnival with its colorful costumes and floats. Not to be missed. Fun will be had by all, including poodles at the shows, and the rascally cats are up to their usual escapades!

Cover to Cover Rome!
With the generous hearts of St Nicholas and his friends, lost dogs of Rome find new homes. They’ll have names, warm beds and full tummies for the first time. Amid beautifully illustrated glories of ancient Rome, the story celebrates the belief that all lives are important.
