Available now: THE ADVENTURES OF GRANDMASAURUS and STOP READING THIS BOOK
Shameless recommendation, that my latest books are available for in bookstores and libraries for buying or borrowing.
THE ADVENTURES OF GRANDMASAURUS is about a Grandmother who magically turns into different dinosaurs on a field trip to the museum. The kids need to get her back to “regular Grandma” before they get on the school bus.
STOP READING THIS BOOK is a story where the book judges the reader by their cover. It sets up roadblocks and challenges to prevent the reader from finishing the book. Would you…could you…stop reading this book?
