Ella wants to have a pet that no one else in the world would think of having: a 9,000-pound hippopotamus. Help us celebrate Ella's first birthday at her daycare. She has made a lot of friends like Gigi and others, and they love to play games together. Bo puts an extra special spin on the games. The music and dancing are part of what Bo and the kids like to do, so come along and join them in their escapades as they enjoy their first day in the life of the daycare.
In "Hippo Tales - Note to a Bloat," it's Ella's first day at daycare. She gets permission from the Family Bloat to take her pet Hippopotamus, Bo, along with her. They proceed to have boatloads of fun, running, gamboling, shooting basketballs, playing and dancing with all the kids, swimming, napping, and, of course, doing what comes naturally to a hippo: eating. What a marvelous day.
Locker Tales Coffee Beans to Fitness Dreams - Politics to Pandemics
Cavemen and Medieval Knights kept physically fit because they needed to survive. They did not need a formal regimen of physical exercise.
Soldiers and cowboys throughout American history have kept up their energy and fighting spirit buoyed by the comfort of their coffee.
Kingpins of the '70s cavorted, gossiped, and talked sports around their office cup of coffee.
Amidst the grunts, groans, and sweat of today's physical fitness routines, the reader is asked the basic question: Is being physically fit in the twenty-first century a means to an end or the end game itself?
While seeking this end game, do we communicate more or less with our fellow man, and what is the impact of culture, gender, impeachment, politics, and a pandemic on this end game?

Soccer Tales III - Baba Yaga's Revenge
A long, long time ago in dear old Mother Russia, way before the Putin regime, another kind of legend was spawned. A nasty old witch named Baba Yaga terrorized the countryside and little kids especially.
In 2018, at the Men's World Cup held in Russia, she cast her witch's spell around the children of the world. She hated soccer and stole all the soccer balls before the tournament. The Shoelace Monster and his "Shoo Crew" traveled to Russia to recapture the soccer balls and keep the World Cup on schedule.
The Hedgehog Wars and the 13 Prophecies
Call it a family affair of sorts, if you will.
Lew Freimark had been weaving bedtime tales for his sons for years. The sagas he would conjure up about assorted superheroes were, by his account, his best. "I was pretty much making it up as I was going along," the New Jersey father of two points out.
And so he began to put the food fights, bug-stomping battles, and sundry other skirmishes of the animal troops of "Hedgies" and "Scruffies" he made up on cassettes. "Then I put them in the desk and didn't take them out for years," Freimark said of his nascent audio collection. "They were just collecting dust."
That is until he and his sons determined to dig the tapes up and commit their contents to paper. The end result is the new children's book dubbed "The Hedgehog Wars."
This fanciful account of the constant, unrelenting clash between an army of hedgehogs and one of the raccoons, skunks, porcupines, groundhogs, squirrels, and birds to control the forest they call home. Freimark explains it is meant to help enlighten kids about gaining personal insight into oneself and overcoming obstacles.
The hero of the book turns out to be the last character you would expect to be the hero.
Now solidly smitten by the written word, Freimark is turning his experience as a youth and high school soccer and basketball coach for ten years into a tome he's calling "Soccer Tales Legend of the Shoelace Monster" and the second in the series entitled "Soccer Tales - Born to Play the Game."
