Summary

Cartoonist John McPherson’s comics may be close to home, but thank your lucky stars that his erratic characters haven’t made themselves too comfortable in your home. McPherson’s ode to everyday life is punctuated with the off-the-wall personalities who can turn any normal occurrence into something ridiculous. The only way to read these cartoons and their comical characters—from inept surgeons to cruel chiropractors—is to expect the unexpected. Close to Home debuted in 50 newspapers in 1992 after McPherson left his engineering job to become a full-time cartoonist, and today the comic strip runs in nearly 700 newspapers worldwide. His characters are regularly confronted with everyday dilemmas, including aggressive acupuncture and leaky laughing gas tanks, and their responses are always cleverly unpredictable. The situations are somehow both outlandish yet relatable, and anyone is sure to burst out in laughter at this original e-book collection of all of Close to Home’s boldest and best takes on everything medical.
Available since: 03/26/2013.

Praise for Star Trek Cats“Is it too early to state that this book is possibly the quintessential Christmas stocking filler for the lover of Star Trek AND cats in your family?” —Starburst “Featuring big, bold artistic interpretations of many a famous Star Trek scene, except with, well, uh, cats, the book is rewarding for both an episode-quoting Trekkie and your favorite crazy cat lover. And if you happen to be both of those things, it's most certainly an item you will want to add to your collection.” —TrekCore “Jenny Parks is a great illustrator. The way she has captured the characters and a variety of our favorite aliens while making them inhabit very feline traits is superb and delivers a many good laughs. If you like things on the quirky and fun side, you'll want this book.” —GeekDad

Would you like to feel more comfortable as a parent knowing your kids are learning and enjoying and sleeping better? 
Are you looking for an outstanding and enchanting compilation of bedtime stories to help your children recover their natural sleep, relax, and have fun? 
If yes, this is the book you were looking for so long!   
This book was created with both parents and children in mind. Its mission is to eliminate the nightly battle of bedtime, find the rest that parents need, and give children healthy, natural development and a great attitude through unique and exciting stories that guide them through meditation. 
The mental and physical benefits of reading bedtime stories are now widely recognized. Kids get better at imagining things because they have to interpret a story when it's read aloud. 
Children learn the power of their imagination, which helps them become independent readers later on with books that don't have pictures because their dreams are developed enough to draw them in. 
This is a fantastic book to have at home, enjoy with your kids, or give a present. 
These are just some examples of what your kid should experience to have a good night's sleep. So, if your child has trouble sleeping or you want to improve the bedtime experience, then this book is right for you!  
What are you waiting for? 
Let your kid relax with these incredible stories!
