Easy Reader Intermediate LevelWe dream a great deal; the tranquility of the night is probably the best time to enjoy life. What comes later is often concocted in the mind, which is at full steam 24/7. The study of dreams is complex; Freud had his ideas, and Jung made it more complicated. Can we dream pretty much anything with uncanny details? This work highlights moods, emotions, flashbacks, and dreams within dreams, which could lead to paranoia. In this story the author portrays himself as a traveler from the old continent into North America, in the state of Georgia. Here he makes friends, ends up in a ritzy restaurant at the mall, where fills in as a host, from time to time, and he dates the owner, an elegant divorcee in a hurry to be loved again. During his sojourn he also meets a young woman from China, who can't talk. The chic divorcee is not happy and things get complicated. The Chinese woman needs help because her brother apparently fled to China, and the restaurateur is out of control because she feels ignored. At this point the traveler is in the middle of a nightmare and drowning in paranoia. A Miniature Life is a beautiful journey of suspense, tragic, profound, and sometimes humorous.

Appearing in their first story, Kristy, her brother, Bryan, and their friend Jesse discover the magical world of Clohverville, a village existing right underneath their beds where those wonderful Villager Dust Bunnies, the Ohmadillapicklearoos, live. When Bryan wonders why he can t do well at soccer like other children, George Ohmadillapicklearoo - Mr. Oh for short - appears, equipped with his tools of wisdom and experience. He shows Bryan that just because he isn't very good at sports doesn't mean that he lacks a special ability or gift to call his own. Join Kristy, Bryan and Jesse as Mr. Oh takes them on an adventure in the Village of Clohverville where, coincidentally, Mr. and Mrs. Oh, their son, Bo, and their friends Looloo Palloo and the Widow Buttons present Special Gifts Day, a day in which Bryan discovers that he is a very unique and special boy, even if he isn't very good at soccer and other sports. And it all happens. . . right UNDERneath YOUR BED! The series Ohmadillapicklearoos Those Villager Dust Bunnies Under My Bed is designed to help children, kindergarten through third grade, develop a positive self image and build character by engaging them in imaginative stories. The series appropriately begins with the lesson that every child has his or her own unique and innate gifts. Each story is fun and entertaining, but when supplemented with action guide activities developed exclusively for that story by an award-winning educator, the story takes on a deeper meaning. As a result, the creator of the series believes that the child will be more fully engaged and will embrace the character traits as part of him or herself. After all, it s not just about how children live; it's about who they are that matters too!
