The comfort of home is not always attractive when we see other people and places as more exciting, but it is not always true that the ‘grass is always greener’ somewhere else. Karen Evans Odell uses a play on words to develop the amusing characters and also shows the reader that ‘home can be where the heart’ really is after all. Experience can show that happiness can be closer at hand than we imagine. The beautiful settings and colorful characters add dimension to this children’s picture book.

This 254 page book - Volume 77 of Once Upon A Time series, will take you into a fantasy and imaginary story land. Go on, read them and you will have a good time! Once upon a time, in the land of humans, there were many stories. That story telling - It lived as a splendid art for many centuries and has been passed on for many generations in oral form. The greatest contributors to this oral form art were grand mothers, grand fathers. Now, that art is almost extinct. Those time eternal stories are lying in the memories of many souls just like me. This book is a very humble attempt to revive that art in a written form. Although not as powerful as the original oral tradition, reading and writing just like their predecessor are also great channels to wake the brilliant imagination skills that are dormant. This series of stories will attempt to bring that lost child hood of yours back and attempt to bring an awareness and probably inspire you to pass it to your next generation and most importantly may make you write your own stories just like me! Reviving that art, that art of story telling - It is the need of the hour. It is our duty to enrich the young generation with abundant imagination, feeding their oratory skills, enlarge their writing skills and keeping the river of story telling perennial. Again - Go on, read them and you will have a good time! Please note that, upon multiple reader’s requests to release bigger volumes, this volume contains some stories from my other story books.
