"Guido's Gondola"

Just How Much Is Enough?

Guido spends his days shuttling tourists along the waterways of Venice in a small gondola. The kindhearted young rat enjoys the simple pleasures of his world–until his eyes are opened to the possibilities of all that could be accomplished with a larger, faster vessel. As Guido is persuaded to acquire bigger and better boats, life becomes increasingly complicated. Just how far will he go in his search for true satisfaction?

You and your child will giggle your way through this enchanting story of a small rat with a big heart, who learns the hard way that it’s the little joys of life that matter most.

"Izzy the Lizzy"

It’s Lunchtime in Bitty Bayou

Izzy, a hungry lizard, is eyeing a small spider who, in turn, is preparing to lunch on a bee trapped in her web. But the itty bitty bee, named Jeb, is not all that interested in becoming the spider’s last meal. Can the courageous bee persuade the others to show a little tenderness?

Your child will delight in this “gently dangerous” tale narrated through lighthearted rhyme. Filled with humorous illustrations of the creepy critters children love, this story demonstrates the power of kindness and the strength of mercy.
