Dragons N' Things

Dragons n'' Things is for the child in every adult and the adult the child will become. Many of the stories are constructed as learning tools such as Othello the Ox; Sartre the Seal, William the Conquer Worm, Wally the Whale, Sir Thomas the Tiger, and Erase the Mouse. They are based on the writings of Shakespeare, Walt Whitman, Sartre the Existentialist, Edgar Allen Poe, T. S. Elliot and Erasmus; with premises such as Plato''s Republic and many more. They introduce in a fabled fashion works that most of us struggled through in high school and college. Hopefully they will help familiarize the child at an early age with names and topics and make them more palatable in their later years. The goal is that if your children read or are read to about the adventures of Othello the Ox as a child they will possibly enjoy the play even more when they have become an adolescent or adult. If you join Erase the Mouse in his ventures into Utopia maybe you will understand it better as an adult. The book is constructed so that hopefully the adult can have fun while reading and educating the child. Who wouldn''t want to go to Seventh Heaven or visit Cloud Nine? The book also caters to the younger child with simple stories such as Baby Billy and Liddle Tina; Tales of the Caribbean Coral Coast and Polar Pals. It is chock full of poems and stories based on games we all played as children such as Ghosts in the Garden and I Packed my Grandmother''s Trunk. Enter the lands of Enchantment such as The Magic Belt, the Fabled Forrest, the Eachy Peachy River, the Connamarra Meadow and many more. It is beautifully illustrated by Amanda Penrose and Denise Ovelgone with more than 230 illustrations. Dollar for dollar this book delivers a ton of entertainment for you and your child for years to come. Loaded with stories to be read to and memories to be relived and remembered for a lifetime. We hope you will enjoy the book and contact us with your comments.
