About the books
“The Do For Others Day” is the first book of the “Critter Adventure Tales” series of audiobooks, e-books, printed books, and other learning/reading aids that showcase how America has, from its earliest beginnings, benefitted from the skills and talents of individuals from many different backgrounds and cultures. This inaugural story highlights how the village’s leading citizen, Mayor Turkey, made an “officially-official” declaration that resulted in the one-day trading of job responsibilities among New Colony residents. The unintended results of his declaration were humorous, surprising, and life-changing for everyone (including Mayor Turkey).
“The Food Pirates” is the second book of the “Critter Adventure Tales” series of audio books, e-books, printed books, and other learning/reading aids. This story involves the mysterious disappearance of food from the shops and family gardens of New Colony and how the children of the village – through perseverance and ingenuity – solved the mystery, caught the “Food Pirates”, and received their just rewards from the grateful townspeople. The final message of this Critter Adventure is “Courage Never Fails,” …and courage is what was required to build a community in the wilderness in early America.
