Other editions of book The Adventures of Dimi

The Adventures of Dimi is a compilation and extension of stories which the author made up to entertain his four children when they were growing up; especially, while traveling long distances by automobile. One of his daughters urged him to write them down so that she could read them to her children. After years of procrastination and keeping busy with other venues, he decided to write them and publish them-definitely, upon becoming the great grandfather of two lovely girls. He hopes that they, as well as many other youngsters, will enjoy reading them or having them read to them or learn from them something about the natural world around them.

The Adventures of Dimi is a fascinating blend of imagination and whimsy about a tiny boy who seems destined to never grow up. His parents are trying to give him a normal life. Because of his size and boyish curiosity; however, his life becomes entwined with those of the insects and small animals around him. Can you imagine being in a crow's nest and being fed worms, venturing inside of a bee hive and meeting the queen bee, following a worm into a decayed pumpkin or riding on the back of a giant bullfrog? Dimi experiences these and many more adventures. In the end, Dimi does grow larger and grows a mustache, goes to college, marries and has a normal family of two lovely children. These tales have no violence, sex, super heroes or extra-terrestrials in them. They are just about the innocent stumblings of a tiny, curious boy into many strange, but marvelous escapades.
