Books with author Pops Jamison

As "Pops", John shares the stories he told his daughter years ago, and now tells his grandchildren today. Stories of fun and wonder, sometimes crazy, but always with a smile. "Meet the Skwerdlock!" was created to help spark a love of books, help learn a few words, and just have an excuse to sit in the recliner and enjoy time together.Pops says:I really enjoy seeing nicely done illustrations in books. However, one of the goals of this book is to show that you don’t have to be a professional artist or illustrator to create books. Children are filled with great stories, and I want to encourage them to write those stories down, and bring them to life with their own pictures. If they end up looking really, really great, that’s just fine.But if they end up looking like mine do, that’s perfectly ok too!

But sometimes, just having a Skwerdlock means that strange things can happen. This little story is a friendly reminder of what can happen when a Skwerdlock is around.It’s not that the Skwerdlock is bad. It’s just that the Skwerdlock is curious. Like we are. And all those times when we say, “I wonder what would happen if…”, the Skwerdlock just does it. A little picture-book story for early readers and listeners, meant to cause a smile and maybe a laugh. Suitable for couches and recliners wherever they may be found.Pops says, the Skwerdlock has been very special in our family for a long time, and I hope others will have the same kind of fun. This is a fun story to read together, and especially fun when your young readers can read it to you! There is no moral, no lesson, just a fun story to relax and enjoy!
