See review from the Midwest Book Review--Small Press BookWatch-Childrens Shelf -July 2006 Issue (Vol 5 No. 7) Heres an excerpt: "... Paige's Book Of Fishes And Whales captivates its young readers ages 2 through 9 with amazing information about these sensational creatures, their lives, habitats, and appearances. A handy booklet that can easily serve as a child's visual identification guide, Paige's Book Of Fishes And Whales is very highly recommended as a showcase for children with an interest in ecology and habitat of fish..." 2nd Edition 8x10 Grant's Book of Manatees and Dolphins ISBN 1470119846 / 9781470119843 Available electronically on Kindle Here It is essentially a tale of friendly encounters between these species (a little license is used here), showing a few of the great variety of dolphins and their relatives,
from river dolphins to open ocean dolphins to shallow water dolphins.
All animals are shown in real world ecosystems accompanied by the species they would share a habitat with (example dolphins, tuna, sardines, and shearwaters; or manatees, shrimp, sheepsheads, and snappers). At the end of the book is a review of each dolphin, sea cow, or fish,
and a suggestion for the read to (or reader) to find each dolphin, fish, and seacow in the pages of the book. Two of the dolphins are harder to find than the others! The pictures and story will get a smile from even the youngest or oldest audience, though it is fun for both reader and listener. All editions available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other online retailers.

Barnes and Noble and other book sellers Poor Buck's Trial is a short fictional story set in the middle twentieth century, about an innocent misunderstanding. The word 'trial' has multiple meanings, and a child (the storyteller) can pick the wrong one. Since the child also loves a dog (Buck), a 'Dog Trial' has special meaning. The story covers both how the child experiences a normal weekend, has a very bad dream, and learns something new. The story is made to be read to younger children, and be read by children 9-14 years in age. Anyone who loves the outdoors, loves fishing, and loves dogs, will find it fun.
Note: Any reader will also suffer through my pencil drawings as well, since the story is set before the age of computer graphics! ISBN-10: 1468179055 ISBN-13: 978-1468179057Official Combat-Fishing® and Animals/Fish merchandise and photos (Clothing, hats, mugs, stickers, etc.):

Cancer is a very tough subject for children and adults. This book talks about cancer in a way young child can understand. The book teaches about cancer using the true story of our dog, Meiklo, and how he gets better after chemotherapy. The story covers finding out he had cancer, and how he gets chemo with drawing from his treatments, and how he went into remission (i.e. got better). The words are simple, and each page has a cute drawing of the dog for each part of the story. Pictures are drawn from real life, and words are meant to make this topic understandable for younger readers, with hope for cancer fighters, and the families that support people, and pets, with cancer. While written for children, I recommend having an adult nearby to help given the topic
