SHELBY F SQUIRREL and I ARE MAKING PLANS!

Very soon, we hope to be introducing SHELBY and his stories to classrooms in some of the neighbourhood schools. I’ve never tried to keep a group of children occupied for 10 to 15 minutes, so it should be quite an experience!

Of course, once they see my funny face, and realise how much I love telling any of the SHELBY stories, they’ll be enchanted!

I can’t ‘just’ read! Check out my videos on YouTube which bear testament to my sad eyes, childish voice, big grin, and side-long glances. I’ll be nervous but the innate show-off in me will probably take over.

Reports to follow!  Stay tuned……..

Gotta get a copy of The Complete Adventures of SHELBY F SQUIRREL and Friends! It’s a great book for kids, don’t want to miss it!  Ouch! Get off my foot!! Hey, let me through!!

Buy a paperback to treasure and dog-ear!

This little guy reminds me of SHELBY, he’s just so cute!

I wonder how many other people go into a slump in the heat. This summer has landed me in a big one, I think I need a crane to hoist me out of it. Summer’s all very nice, but I like it better in the mid 70’s (that’s about 23 or 24 Celsius) and not humid. Our air conditioner has produced almost a full pail of water on each of the last two days. What a difference it makes, but it would be such a treat to have a quiet machine!!!

One of these days, we’ll have a place with central air again. We had it in our house, such a luxury compared to a window unit.

I do know I have no right to complain, and that I am actually one of the luckiest people on earth. Shelter, food, and medical care are taken for granted by my kind. I sure wish there was not such disparity in the world. I’m not one to pray, but one can fervently hope for peace, an end to hunger and poverty and a turnaround in the ecology of our planet.

One thing that bothers me is the lack of interest in most people to care about the future. So I ask each one of you to consider using biodegradable plastic bags for garbage, take the train instead of driving to work or carpool, turn off lights, computers and internet connections for the night or when you aren’t using them, always recycle to reduce the landfill, stop using dryers and let the air do the job.

And above all have a good Saturday, and a great long weekend.

Amazon Review:

Shelby, Quite the Flying Squirrel! Aug. 17 2015

Meet SHELBY, the WISE OLD OWL, MARVIN, MOLLY and POLLY, CHARLIE the old farm horse, and even SANTA CLAUS! SHELBY experiences a Scout Camp, a Maple Sugar Bush, a trip to school, and another one to town. And that’s just a small taste of what awaits you and your children.

Little cousin of SHELBY F. SQUIRREL! Any squirrel relative makes me think of my furry protagonist. He’s so much in my head that I’ve started a new book. This one will be for MIDDLE GRADE, involving a capture, injury, healing, sightseeing across Canada, and reunion. Lots of fodder for fun, excitement, characters, scenes and learning along the way.

I hope you have learned by now that The Complete Adventures of SHELBY F. SQUIRREL and Friends for ages 4-11 is now available on CreateSpace in BLACK & WHITE.

After uploading the B&W version, I now discover that CreateSpace can’t put the two editions on the same page, or link them on the CreateSpace eStore. Here’s hoping they can implement a way to do that. Such are the complexities of computer programming. I’ve just added the information and links to the product description on the two pages. Here are the links:

COLOUR:  http://createspace.com/5399580                          $19.99

BLACK & WHITE: http://createspace.com/5648006                 $9.99

The Complete Adventures of SHELBY F. SQUIRREL and Friends is now available in a BLACK & WHITE version of the paperback.  The book is 150 pages, 24 stories of wonderful, packed with fun adventures for your children. Approved by kids, parents AND teachers, it is the kind of book that can be read over and over again, with its gentle life lessons, humour, nature, forest, farm, and the environment. Check flutesandflyingsquirrels.com for more details.
