Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

When the art store closes and the customers go home, the door is locked and all is silent. Then, a wonderful thing happens: tiny voices fill the air as pencils, paintbrushes, erasers, and other items come to life and start to play. One night, after dressing in their favorite costumes, an argument begins among the highly competitive pencils as each proclaims it is the fastest pencil in the art store. Hearing the commotion, two troublemaking erasers, Red Gum and Blue Gum, suggest a race to see who really is the fastest. When they ask if their special pencil friend, unknown to the others, can be in the race, the other pencils agree; however, after seeing him, they realize they have made a terrible mistake. Hello readers of all ages! My name is William N. Brown Jr., and I'm the author and illustrator of The Great Pencil Race. I started my career studying Commercial Art Advertising Design at a college in North Carolina and quickly realized my love for painting. As a professional artist, I know a little about friendly competition, and The Great Pencil Race happens to be filled with it. So let's go! I'll meet you at the starting line. Thank you and God bless.

A boy named Jimmy planted his very first garden. He was so excited, that he began to dream about it while drifting off to sleep one night. While asleep, he discovered a wonderful magical surprise. Instead of growing normal everyday kind of vegetables, Jimmy had special alphabet vegetables that only grew for him. These special vegetables had the ability to sing, talk, and instruct him about some rules that he must follow in order for them to show him how special they truly are. By Jimmy combining consonants and vowels correctly to spell words, he was able to get his special requests granted. When reading Jimmy's Alphabet Garden, just when you think you have the book figured out; it takes an unexpected magical turn that will leave you feeling all warm inside. So hold on and get ready! The Alphabet may just show up in your garden one day. My name is William N. Brown Jr. and I am the author and illustrator of Jimmy's Alphabet Garden. First I would like to give a special thanks to my wife Robin and my son Ryan, for their love and support. My interest in art started at the tender age of nine. My teacher mailed in one of my drawings to our local newspaper and two weeks later, it was printed in there Sunday edition. My mother, Carolyn Brown, framed and hung my published drawing on our wall. For me, this was a defining moment. This helped me realize how important art was to me. As a professional artist, I have had great success exhibiting throughout this country. Now that I'm in the prime of my art career, I am excited to discover a new way to express my creativity which is through writing and illustrating children's books. To all of my readers, I hope you will enjoy reading my book called Jimmy's Alphabet Garden. When I wrote and illustrated this book, I wanted to tap into that same magical and creative imagination that I had as a child. Even though this is my first book, I plan to be active in this field for a while. So be on the lookout for more of my books in the future... Thank you and God bless, William Nathaniel Brown, Jr.
