The Little Candy Breathing Dragons


This book is a charming, feel-good story about two candy breathing dragon sisters (Nay-Nay and Maj) who set out exploring one day and find themselves helping others they meet along the way.

Ms. Gloria Clark has gently dealt with subjects such as handicapped animals (a dog with no feet and a blind cat), as well as lost animals (the lion and dragon) and helping a deer get out of a well. She uses religious words to help convey to the reader how they can show acceptance, helpfulness, and faith. The moral of the story that is, “you must be kind to all you meet and help others when you can, for no good deed goes un-noticed and being kind is so easy to do.”

The Illustrations by Bobbi Switzer are beautifully drawn in full color and definitely help the story come alive.

The Little Candy Breathing Dragons is a keeper- book that will be read many times over and reside on many children’s book shelves for years to come. Ms. Clark is a new author whose books will charm and enlighten many lives.

Percy & the Promise



Percy & the Promise by T.B. Dockter

Ms. Dockter has delivered a winner in the second issue of her Percy Veerance Adventure Series. It is another tale of the people of Yoosa and how they work through problems.

The story instills friendship, community involvement, helping others and learning acceptance of those who do not look or act like everyone else. The many adventures the town goes through helps to portray how people meet those challenges and overcome them.

I highly recommend this book to parents who want wholesome, moral driven stories for their children to read. Ms. Dockter has built a quirky fictional town and people to help children understand our world and how to become the best they can be. My congratulations.
