Dobs, the butler of the Vonburst estate, has grown bored of doing
the same repetitive thing day after day. But not everyone working
at the Vonburst mansion is feeling the same way; Ofelia, the house
maid, loves her job. Only Dobs has the urge to explore a new
dimension. What crazy plan could he be hiding up his cuff-linked
sleeve? Well, one never knows when some celestial light might shine
upon them, to fuel and fill ones heart in a surprising new way. No
doubt, Dobs is in for quite a ride that might just end up launching
him into a bizarre direction. In Doc Colour's 4th children's book,
The Discontented Butler, you will be served exactly what you've
come to expect: clever rhymes and an emotional storyline filled
with wonder and whimsy. Doc's illustrations have been rendered in a
much more jagged style this time, giving them a raw appearance
thats uniquely expressive, and intriguing to gaze upon.
It's Fonna's twelfth birthday, and her family has just moved to a
new neighborhood. Unfortunately for Fonna, she never approved. "I'm
so far from my friends, and these street names are strange," she'd
sadly complain. Not even the celebration of her birthday can cheer
Fonna up. That is, until she receives a rather curious, yet
potentially rewarding, gift form her mother that challenges Fonna
to make as many new friends as she can at her new school. Will
Fonna's attempt at making friends ultimately pay-off, or will she
find all of her efforts dashed to pieces? In this third children's
book by Doc Colour, Fonna's Change Mantel is an impassioned and
devious story with a wonderful rhyming style that is witty and fun
to read. Illustrated for the first time in color, Fonna and her
friends brilliantly come alive on the pages as their free-spirited
personalities uniquely interact, leaving Fonna to calculate the
true value of friendship.
Losing things is very common, but how strange would it be to lose
your bellybutton? In the premiere of Doc Colour's first illustrated
children's book, The Bellybutton Factory, such is the case of young
Nimbolfix, who discovers one morning that his navel is missing. And
so the search begins, but Nimbolfix could never have foreseen that
such a bizarre predicament would ultimately bring him face to face
with Miss Ironseed, the lady in charge of the Bellybutton Factory.
But one must be careful for what they ask for because, as Nimbolfix
experiences, things can take a wild turn, leaving one to learn what
to truly appreciate in life. Set in a whimsical and humorous world,
the story's clever stanzas are well complimented by Colour's highly
unique illustrative style: bold, black and white images rendered in
pen-and-ink resembling woodcuts. The Bellybutton Factory is a witty
and thoughtful story: fully illustrated, fully rhyming, and fully
imaginative. You will Fully enjoy it
