Please consider sharing "Holidays and Hoopla", the nostalgic adventures of Jack Holiday and his friends and foes with as many interested listeners as you can. You'll warm your own heart as you read aloud of the exploits of youths from a bygone era, intentionally following a familiar school-year schedule. (*Take note, educators, and librarians.)Those who have lived these experiences will delight in re-living them, while simultaneously introducing the younger set with a look back to a more innocent age of go-carts, tree houses, and the time-honored peaks and valleys of puppy love.Now gather the troupes and let's join Jack and his little pal, Benjie, as they make the most of a late summer's day. Soon, they'll be returning to school, catching up with their peers, and letting us in on their journey through the everyday joys and trials of growing up in America in the 1960s.
