Books with author Nancy Tancey Buscher

At the foot of the Majestic Mountain, between Frogtown and Snail Hollow lies a quiet village of elves. The puffer is a train that was found many intervals* after the Great Disaster. The Old Machinist made it run and taught the young villagers to drive it. But when the old elf died the knowledge of how to repair it was lost. Elfwood is about friendship, responsibility, and working together. No one can do it all, but when we pitch in and help, wonderful things happen.

Children enjoy potpourri for its aromas. The cornucopia delights them with a promise of food. But a kaleidoscope excites the most with its continually changing pattern of shapes and colors. This book of children's poetry will delight young listeners with a variety of fresh new rhymes and rhythms and colorful characters. "A highly imaginative collection of poems that uniquely reflect the whimsical world of children. Author and illustrator Nancy Buscher has captured the universe from a child's point of view with "silly" rhymes and endearing style that appeal to the very young and those that will be drawn to read it aloud again and again." Carol G. Furtwangler, Author and Editor
