  Read about the amazing adventures of Harry Alliss. The central character is Harry, a young boy with several strong female mentors who add zest to his various adventures. Get to know Harry's amazing friends and their magical, fantastical and sometimes dramatic adventures together, but always with a connection towards strong family relationships, values and those special bonds of friendship. Harry may be flying in space or sitting in a doctor's waiting room but the adventures just keep happening to him. Learn about amazing things that you may have never heard of but that existed at some time. Unravel some of the words in the book to make the stories even more fun. Share Harry's journey and enjoy the fabulous and exciting world of Harry Alliss. The basis for the stories is as a bedtime read, although it shouldn't be restricted to only bedtime reading as they can be read at any time. The stories are sequential, so they should be read from the beginning to the end as several characters are introduced during the various adventures. The central themes are rooted in what is around us and what may have occurred or happened in the past or present, including physical items that may have existed before. The idea is to ask questions and interact with the storytelling. The stories have the 'cuddle factor' so that adults reading to their children can enjoy the story as much as the children who are listening to it.

  This book encourages readers to embrace their differences and understand that there's no need to hide or change just to fit in with what others consider normal. Told in playful verse, the story is designed to delight little ears and invite them to join in with the tale. It teaches young readers an important lesson: everyone needs a friend, and sometimes, a kind word or a bit of encouragement is all it takes to include someone who may feel left out. In this charming story, the creatures of the village learn that just because someone looks a little different or lives in an unusual place, it doesn't mean they aren't a good person. You'll discover how a lonely troll's life is transformed by a simple act of kindness. I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoyed creating it.

  Miss Deer is very hungry, but the local squirrels and birds do not want her to eat with them. She is sad and lonely, she doesn't understand their rejection. She does not see why she cannot have some bird seed, which is rich and plentiful at this lady's house. The many birds, squirrels and chipmunks tell her she is too big and scary. She becomes very frustrated and decides to eat the lady's prize roses. She feels, too, a comradeship to the man who lives here, for he is also rejected by the animals. A hungry but friendly raccoon, out in the daytime, stops her and tells her that deer are not mean.
