Squiggle and Puff Try a New Food

Meet Squiggle and Puff: an easy reader odd couple reminiscent of Elephant & Piggie, with a twist. Squiggle is an irrepressible enthusiast - broccoli are like tiny trees! carrots are so crunchy! - but Puff, the stone-faced skeptic parries every positive proclamation with only two words: "true" or "false." Will Squiggle's cold, creamy, sweet new food finally tempt Puff, or will he maintain his picky eating even in the face of ice cream?

Follow this stoic / sunshine pair on more adventures, with Squiggle and Puff: the Squiggle Who Cried "Nurse," Squiggle and Puff Are Not Sleepy, and Squiggle and Puff Get the Flu Shot.

Nothing to Be Scared Of

The narrator of this story is scared of many things: dogs, birthday candles, scarlet fever, his Great-Aunt Sally's dentures. But above all, he's terrified of Nothing. With good reason. His parents are always telling him Nothing is hiding in the closet, Nothing is under the bed, Nothing is going to hurt him. Will he be able to outsmart his fear to finally get a good night's sleep, or will Nothing stand in his way forever?

The Trippington Triplets and the Case of the Missing Mama

These intrepid triplets and their trusted hounddog leap to all the wrong conclusions as they try to solve the mystery of their missing mother. Is she napping - or has she been napped? And most worrisome of all - could this be an inside job by none other than their dear old dad?

Whether sweet or silly, all my picture books are served with a heavy helping of humor.
