Libby the Psychic Dog

A fun holiday read!

What happens when an English lord is reincarnated as a pudgy terrier? Lord Percival Plep was a hero in the war to end all wars, but when a bayonet ends his life, he wakes to find that he has been reborn one hundred years later as a dog!

When Lord Plep is adopted by an elderly woman he calls “Mama,” he settles into a comfortable life of watching movies and sharing Mama’s snacks. He also gains a reputation as a psychic dog when he finds eyeglasses and keys for the aged residents of the mobile home park where Mama lives. When a child is lost, a neighbor asks Mama if Libby (yes, Lord Plep was reborn as a female), could use her psychic abilities to find the little girl. Using all her human and canine instincts, Libby’s powers are put to the test, and Mama hopes the chubby little terrier will be able to find the girl and bring her home safe and sound.

When Seattle’s most elite private school—alma mater of Bill Gates—becomes the controversial recipient of a prototype quantum supercomputer, senior class prankster and genius computer whizz Cory Holland is determined to hack it . . . that is, if he can find the time between crashing parties and making out with his archenemy’s superhot ex, Samantha.

But Cory soon realizes the spooky coffin-sized machine humming away in his school’s basement isn’t a computer at all. Inside the machine, time appears to cycle in endless loops. Food molds in seconds. Cell phones drain in minutes. Most startlingly, it appears possible to step inside at the end of the loop . . . and step out into the past.

But when the machine delivers a cryptic warning that Samantha died in a car crash, his memories of her instantly begin to vanish—leaving only lingering moments of déjà vu. Someone’s been screwing with the past. Now he must do the unthinkable: alter the timeloop to save the life of the girl he loves, only to forget everything about her.

She is on her own except for Dog who lies near her feet, and the cocked rifle in her lap. “Mirna watches as night approaches. The horses are restless in the barn, and a chill wind blows through the cracks in the walls. She is twenty-one years old, and her closest neighbor is a mile away. She checks to see that the cayenne powder meant to stop an intruder is on the shelf by the door.”

A tasteful and fun children’s story book for stress-free potty training

The Boss of the Potty is a charming and effective story about a boy who runs off and hides whenever he needs a poo. The strong central message encourages a child to use the potty by showing the positive outcome of his actions. At the beginning of the story we see the parents’ sadness at having to change nappies, but once the main character starts using the potty his entire family gather round to show how happy they are.

The book handles the concept of inevitable ‘accidents’ well by reminding the reader that they will happen but what’s important is trying to get to the potty before they happen.

The book was written and illustrated by a father trying to help his own son overcome a fear of using the potty. The pictures are drawn to a very high standard and are attractive to look at. The book is tasteful (no pictures of poo for example) and is presented in a matter of fact way. The main character’s Mummy explains to him what poo is. She tells him that he is in charge of where the poo goes – he, and nobody else, is the ‘Boss of the Potty’.

The book is straightforward enough for a toddler to follow without being too simplistic and basic. The images are colourful and warm. The text is written in rhyme with a nice rhythm keeping the pace moving throughout the story.

A bonus at the end of the book is a brief poem for parents who may be frustrated by the experience – a welcome reminder that they are not alone.

The Story of Jesus and Santa Claus…A Christmas Story for Children, Families, and Anyone Who has Ever Wondered How Santa Claus Came to Be.

Wherever you may live, and by whatever name that you may know him–Santa Claus, Saint Nick, Kris Kringle, Father Christmas, Pere Noel or Sinter Klaas–you will never forget the true story of Santa Claus, as you read it every Christmas with your children, who will someday read it every Christmas with their children too.

The Innkeeper of Bethlehem will permit you and your family to enjoy Santa Claus and the other secular customs of Christmas within the Christian celebration of Jesus’s birth. For little children, Santa Claus becomes a real person delivering presents to them from Jesus. Each Christmas season, reading a chapter a night will become a holiday tradition for the entire family.

The tale begins with Shai and Adi, the childless owners of an inn in Bethlehem. When Shai rents out their bedroom, they must sleep in the stable. During the night, Joseph and Mary arrive and Adi helps Mary through a difficult labor. They bond, and when an angel appears telling Joseph to flee to Egypt with Mary and Jesus, Shai and Adi go with them and become Jesus’s uncle and aunt.

The book tells of Jesus growing up with his friends Mary Magdalene and John, his ministry, and his death and resurrection. These vignettes teach the lessons of life and the Bible through Jesus’s experiences.

The book concludes with Shai and Adi following the Lord’s Star to the North Pole, where angels have built a palace. Jesus wants Shai and Adi to raise the baby angels there until they reach adulthood. The baby angels, or elves as the grown angels derogatively refer to them, are a mischievous lot. Shai becomes known as Santa Claus when a baby angel mispronounces “Shai, Uncle of Jesus,” claus being the angelic word for uncle.

Jesus also wants to give a present to each boy and girl on his birthday, Christmas Day, a tradition that he began during his life when he gave presents to his family. As part of their training, once a baby angel sprouts wings he or she is assigned to watch children and make toys for them. On Christmas Eve, Santa flies the sleigh to heaven to present the new adult angels to God, and then flies around the globe delivering Jesus’s presents to the children of the world.

The book is a story within a story, told by a visiting uncle to a little girl and her nephew. Each night before bedtime beginning on December 6th, St. Nicholas’s Day, and continuing through Christmas Eve, the uncle tells part of the story. Instead of numbers, the chapters are titled by day. The book can be read as a normal book or a chapter each day, and it can be read to oneself or out loud to children. When read out loud, the chapter lengths vary between 10 and 15 minutes.
