Books with author R. W Alley

Clark and his brother and sisters are stuck on their front porch on a rainy spring day. When a stuffed bear is flung off the porch into a puddle, the backyard becomes an ocean, and Clark, with some help from his siblings, embarks on a deep-sea diving rescue mission. Full of classic charm, this satisfying fantasy is one of four small books each starring a different sibling and season by the children’s book veteran R. W. Alley. Look for Mitchell on the Moon and Annabelle at the South Pole in Fall 2016.

On a breezy summer day, Gretchen and her family head to the ocean. Gretchen wants to swim with her older brothers and sister, but everyone ignores her. When the wind steals her new sun hat, she catches it by its ribbon and is lifted into the sky, far, far above the beach, where a friendly seagull is happy to play. This ode to imagination is one of four small books each featuring a different sibling and season, created by children’s book veteran R. W. Alley. Look for Mitchell on the Moon and Annabelle at the South Pole in Fall 2016.

Annabelle is trapped inside on a cold, wintry afternoon with her brothers and sister. When they won’t stop pestering her, she sets off into the snowy backyard in search of adventure, and soon finds herself at the South Pole in the company of an abominable (but adorable) snowman. This magical winter story joins Clark in the Deep Sea, Gretchen Over the Beach, and Mitchell on the Moon in a four-book series that celebrates the power of imagination, created by the veteran children’s book illustrator R. W. Alley.

It’s Halloween, and Mitchell’s littlest sister, Gretchen, looks up at the moon and sees that part of it is missing. Gretchen's other siblings, Annabelle and Clark, scornfully tell her that the moon is just hiding behind some clouds, but Mitchell indulges her and sets out to save the moon. A humorous and slightly scary fantasy ensues before the four children set off for trick-or-treating. This spooky fall story joins Clark in the Deep Sea, Gretchen Over the Beach, and Annabelle at the South Pole in a four-book series that celebrates the power of imagination, created by the veteran children’s book illustrator R. W. Alley.
