Adventures of Count Pickula: First day at school

   




This fun tale starts with cucumber kid Count Pickula waking up on his first day of school. Naturally he is a bit nervous and apprehensive, but after a hearty breakfast and reassurances from his loving mother and father, Pickula heads off for class.

Each page is accompanied by a charming color illustration that helps make the story clear and interesting for young readers and listeners. This book is ideal for reading to children as young as 3 while being an easy reader for many children in Primary Grades up to age 8 and beyond.

Pickula learns school is a lot of fun. He loves all the new facts he's learning about plants and poems. But he is still apprehensive about meeting new friends.

Unfortunately everyone at lunch sits with their own friends leaving Pickula sitting alone. That's when a nearby flower calls out "Hey Kid" to Pickula. The plant points out a red haired boy who also doesn't have friends. The boy is crying after being bullied by other kids. Pickula defends the child telling the others bullying is wrong.

Still, the bullies persist and it looks like Pickula's first day at school may not end well. That's when the Principle's beautiful daughter Horseradish intervenes and saves the day.

This book immediately interests children who identify with the challenges of starting at a new school. It's filled with fun characters, interesting action, and lots of positive messages. Parents and grandparents can feel good about sharing The Adventures of Count Pickula with both boys and girls. Don't be surprised if kids want to hear the story again and again.

It makes an ideal gift for birthday and Christmas. Many people buy several to share with friends. It's selling fast after being recommended by teachers.

The Revenant's Mark

  The Revenant's Mark A dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution Jacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor—forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back. Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth. Haunted by visions and a mysterious mark burned beneath his ribs, he joins two rebel soldiers on a perilous journey through war-torn colonies and spirit-haunted woods.

Jacob must reckon with what he’s become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side.

Interestingly, those who say “No” often cite science as the basis for their opinion. They openly state that “There is no proof of the existence of God.” However, there is proof of the existence of God. There is more than ample proof of His existence. There is more evidence than anyone will ever need if one was willing to look in the right places, if one was open to that proof, and if one does not block or eliminate the proof or otherwise redefine or pre-determine the scientific criteria despite the evidence. Carl Sagan once wrote, “Extraordinary claims, require extraordinary evidence.”  This book presents Ten Observable, Demonstrable, and Verifiable sets of facts that prove the existence of God. Not one, not two, but ten. Any one set of these proofs by itself would demonstrate it, but together they provide ove...
