The Lazy Alligator

This swampy adventure is set to the catchy rhythm of The Itsy Bitsy Spider, making it a fun and engaging read-aloud experience.

A lazy alligator drifts through the scenic swamp, searching for a tasty lunch. Along the way, he encounters a variety of colorful and clever creatures, from a tenacious redfish to a majestic white egret and a feisty blue crab. But as he glides through the boggy waters, his quick-witted prey spot him first and escape his sluggish attempts to make them his meal.

He may be slow, but he has a mighty CHOMP! Will the hungry alligator ever find something to eat?

With lively rhymes, playful repetition, and the unique wildlife of the swamp, this book will have young readers singing, laughing, and coming back to enjoy the adventure again and again.

Santa Claus Lost His HO HO HO

It was a week before Christmas and all the elves
Were busy packing the sleigh, being their jolly little selves.

When Mrs. Claus ran out into the fallen snow
She cried out loud, ‘Santa has lost his HO HO HO!’

So hurry everyone, get busy to find
Santa’s HO HO HO and get it in time,

So Santa can deliver toys on Christmas Eve,
While the boys and girls are sound asleep.

So does Santa get back his HO HO HO?
Unless you read the book, you may never know!

Born That Way, Within & Through – Kindness Is You

To the Children: Do you know that you have an incredible superpower that’s always with you? You don’t have to try really hard to get it or to keep it. It’s free and easy and always with you. You can count on it! I bet I can prove to you how easy your superpower is to bring up in you. Imagine your teacher dropped her book right in front of you. I bet you would automatically bend down to pick it up and give it to her. And I bet you would even do it with a smile because it came out of you so quickly and naturally. Now think about a friend asking you to hold the leash of his puppy. I am sure you would not only hold the leash to keep that puppy safe, but you would also pet the pup and show it love. Your superpower is KINDNESS. It wells up in you, flows out of you, and shows you care. Wow, you are amazing! Open these pages of the book and see how great you really are by just being you. And guess what? Kindness can never be taken away from you, can never run out, and every person has it inside of them, so we do not have to worry that there’s not enough of it to go around! Enjoy being the wonderful, caring, loving person you were born to be because you were born that way!

To Parents, Teachers & Caregivers: Born That Way, Within & Through – Kindness Is You, helps children strengthen their innate ability to naturally draw upon their inherent goodness and kindness. With humor, children will recognize their own ability to act with compassion towards themselves and others while growing more at ease in their instinctive drive toward growth and development. This book shows readers how to trust in their own capabilities to build their self-confidence.

The aim of this book is to help children tap into the unending and unstoppable loving current that is part of our human existence and lineage. Born That Way, Within & Through – Kindness Is You celebrates the deep connection readers have with those that have gone before us and the resourceful gifts instilled in us that affirm good qualities and promote healthy habits of kindness, care, and generosity. In identifying ordinary activities in daily life where compassion is demonstrated, as well as extraordinary times when helping another in immediate need intuitively evokes empathy, children will naturally be practicing mindfulness, thus increasing awareness, focus, and attention. The book utilizes children’s love of playfulness and feel-good scenarios to reinforce their personal agency, empowerment, and fulfillment through their natural responses.

Night Night Bear and How He Came Alive

As everybody knows, Christmas Eve is a joyous and exciting time. But when the elf threw the stuffed teddy bear into the sleigh on Christmas Eve as Santa was leaving for his long trip around the world visiting the children and leaving gifts, he had no idea that something magical was about to happen. A magical bear was born that night, and for one little girl a very special friend came to live with her and her family, and things will never be the same again. Discover the magic that is all around us; maybe you too will experience the magical realm.

Willey and Shelley’s Christmas Adventure

The reason I think everyone should read this book is that it has an amazing storyline and the most unexpected ending to the three-book series. Willey and Shelley’s friendship is a great example of what a good relationship between you and your friends could be. This story is a good representation of what it’s like to start a new job and get the most basic and mediocre positions. From my experience no job is too small. I think you should do every job to the best of your ability. Overall this story of Willey and Shelley’s adventure at the North Pole at Santa’s village is like no other story that I have ever read. The children should really enjoy this book, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.

For all of you parents and grandparents out there, I just wanted you to know that I got my first book published when I turned 70 years old. No one I knew could even imagine that being a children’s book author was in my future. You are never too old to try something new.

Thanks and love you all. Grandpa Paul
