A VISIT TO GRANDMA'S - CHILDRENS BOOKS

Just a teaser from author/songwriter
LEIGHROY MARSH

A VISIT TO GRANDMA'S
Were going to Grandma's
Dad called out to Maya
Who was sat reading books
Keeping warm by the fire

So pack up your toothpaste
Your toothbrush and clothes
your pink fluffy slippers
With the extra large rose

Can the Hairy Plug Monster
Come too? Maya asked
As she reached for the toothpaste
At the side of the bath,

"Of course!" said her dad
As he finished his tea,
He can sit in the front
With your mother and me.                    

So Maya bent down
And called out to her friend
“Do you want to see grandma
And stay the weekend?”

The Hairy plug monster
Appeared with a case
And a large floppy hat
that just covered his face…. 
  
mmmm -  there is more but you'll have to wait

just a preview :   we are working on another new tale by Leighroy Marsh
The Pot Bellied Cook and the Three Legged Dog

In an old wooden tavern, quite close to a bog
Lives  a pot bellied cook and a three legged dog
He spends all his days making green smelly cheese
While the three legged dog sits and scratches his fleas

High up in a tower,  lives the Old Purple Bint
Who drinks nothing but smoothies of onion and mint
She grows all her food in a pair of old boots
And makes soap from the juice of the dandelion root

But  cook wasn’t happy to live all alone
He wanted to share the green cheese in his home
So he closed up the tavern and set foot outside
With his three legged dog he looked for a bride

To the Old Purple Bint in the tower  he strolled
With some cheese in a sock, feeling ever so bold
He called from the ground to the window above
And proclaimed from his knees his intentions of love.

“My darling, my sugar, my sweetheart, my dear
I have lived all alone for so many a year
I have come to ask you, would you marry me please
And stand by my side with my dog and his fleas”

how great are your grandparents!


watch here for a sneaky peek via YOU TUBE 
click on the image
                                          

Arr yes,  Grandma came to babysit all the way from France!


It's a long way to look after her grandchildren, when sometimes they get up to no good!


In this little story the kids do behave in the end...


As we all know,  if your a Grandparent you only want the best for your  grandkids!
Many Grandparents effortlessly play with their grandchildren, look after them with out hesitation, give them love and attention, bake with them, take them on picnics, take them parks, in fact Grandparents are a godsend and an invaluable part of the family unit.   Without them,  many Mum's and Dad's would be lost. We must all be aware of their valuable contribution in the network of family life.


One of the reasons for this little book is to highlight the instant help, love, care and attention Grandparents bring and in this instance Grandma.   


Also, have you ever noticed many Grandparents where ever they may be all seem to have smiley faces. :-)   They hardly ever get cross always willing help out with most things .... 


So spare a thought for all Grandparents who bring joy and laughter into your lives.

what a great book review all the way from Canada!!!!!

It's getting close to that time again.

There is nothing like signing into your blog and finding comments like this one.

"I live in Canada and I am the Grandmother of Noah. I was talking to my hairdresser about "The Hairy Plug Monster" and he knew the book. As it turns out, it's a favorite of his son's. I was delighted to know you have reached international fame! [and not just from a proud grandmother".

This is all very heartening and I still think that slowly and surely The Hairy Plug Monster will take over a small percentage of the world.  However, this week was spent focusing on our next publication -

Be Careful Ethel, which again is aimed at the 3-6 age group with illustration supplied by Kim Eagle and additional post production jiggery pokery by Kul Cuthbert.  Using Blurb.com we were able to produce a mock up of the book and make changes as and when necessary.






Once we have the layout perfected it will be time to start the whole promotional thing again.  Registering it with Nielson and sending out another batch of emails to the hundreds of bookstores, schools and libraries in addition to maxing out on Facebook and Twitter etc. 

At the moment this is definitely the quiet before the storm.  Early reviews of Be Careful Ethel have been very positive and some have even said that they enjoyed it more than The HPM.  ( if such a thing is possible).
