Leonard the lizard, Wally the worm, Huxley the hummingbird, and Cleo the cat all have something in common. They think being themselves is just too boring. Each wants to be something else. Something larger and more powerful. Something special.

That’s not all Leonard, Wally, Huxley, and Cleo have in common. The other thing they have in common is…the mirror. Even though they don’t know each other at first, they seem to be on the same path to reality.

One day deep in the forest Leonard, Wally, Huxley, and Cleo finally meet and find themselves face to face with—well—themselves. Thus begins their journey of discovering one of life’s most important lessons. But first, they must lose a part of themselves to find out what that lesson is and what it means to come face to face with The Mirror.

Arnold J. Peppercorn really does try to stay out of trouble. It seems like mischief just won’t leave him alone. His best friend, George Spaghetti, can’t seem to make Arnold J. understand that sometimes having a loud personality isn’t such a good thing.

A person might think after the Mulberry Dam accident, the theater caper, and Mr. Quinn, the school principal, catching Arnold J. and George red-handed that Arnold J. might learn to shut the door in the face of mischief.

When Arnold J. pushes his luck too far, he learns that life brings us many lessons and he’s about to learn the biggest lesson of all.

This is a great book to add to your child’s library. Boys and girls alike will love getting to know Arnold J. and his best friend, George Spaghetti.

Words and Actions is an award-winning e-book that teaches children positive virtues. I use my character Elizabeth Marie Hutchinson from my When I Dream series of books to help easily explain the importance of having positive characteristics.

Elizabeth shares words, their meaning, and how those words can shine through in a person’s actions.

This guide helps teach kids the importance of their words and actions and how they shape and affect their lives. Some of the positive virtues this book focuses on include:

Follow Little Ant as each helper comes along and tries to get him to the top of the anthill. You might be surprised at the end.
