Sinopsis

In "The Motion Picture Chums' New Idea," Victor Appleton takes readers on an exhilarating journey into the world of early cinema, portraying the adventures of a group of enthusiastic young filmmakers. With a narrative style that blends engaging dialogue and vivid descriptions, Appleton captures the thrill of innovation and the burgeoning motion picture industry during the early 20th century. Reflecting the zeitgeist of a period marked by rapid technological advancements and the growing influence of film on popular culture, this work skillfully weaves themes of friendship, creativity, and ambition into a delightful coming-of-age tale. Victor Appleton, a pseudonym often associated with the Stratemeyer Syndicate, was an influential figure in children's literature, known for crafting engaging stories that ignite young imaginations. His familiarity with the entertainment industry and an understanding of youth culture undoubtedly shaped his portrayal of the chums' ventures in filmmaking. Appleton's rich background in serial storytelling and a keen eye for setting contemporary social contexts framed his approach to this narrative, which resonates deeply with youthful aspirations and the collective spirit of discovery. I highly recommend "The Motion Picture Chums' New Idea" to readers who cherish tales of creativity and exploration. This book not only offers an entertaining escapade into the nascent film world but also provides insight into the imaginations of youth—perfect for budding filmmakers and dreamers alike.

Wait...Who Got Goosed? is a contemporary, remixed version of Mother Goose's memorable fables about our human foibles. As in the original rhymes, modern day characters' struggles with questionable judgment result in predictable, and sometimes messy, outcomes. Just what is it that causes us to ignore cautionary tales of old and continue the cycle of having to learn (or not learn) from our own mistakes? 
Having the opportunity to rewrite these familiar lyric stories about missteps through a more humanitarian lens made the journey of writing a modern version of stories from the past especially enjoyable. The Companion Activity Book offers the same potential wordplay and enjoyment for young and young-at-heart poets alike. Readers of all ages, including those familiar with the original Mother Goose rhymes, will enjoy this new iteration of poems that add insight and poignancy to lessons of humility and kindness. Many poems highlight the potential favorability of outcomes when responded to with compassion. So often, serious topics shared through poetry and humor can make our shortcomings a bit easier to digest.
