How can a group of animal friends from Florida's Big Cypress Swamp
defend their home from Bad Billy's gang? Leave it to Geronimo, the
little frog with a big mission. He'll stop at nothing to save his
beloved land from being trashed by Bad Billy and his gang, who are
leaving their garbage all over the place. Can Geronimo save the
day?
Geronimo the Frog, written by Matthew Stein and illustrated by
Taillefer Long, tells the story of one brave frog and his wonderful
cast of animal friends. By working together, they are brave enough
to fight the pollution that is threatening their beautiful Florida
forests and swamps. Light-hearted and featuring a valuable
environmental message, this illustrated children's tale for kids
ages two- to seven-years-old offers plenty of swampland excitement,
while also teaching the positive values of ecology, courage, and
teamwork.
With a nod to the Seminole Native Americans who make the Florida
swamps and forests their home, Geronimo the Frog provides a perfect
introduction to the singular culture and the natural wonder of the
state. The book features animals native to the Florida swamp and
forest setting, while engaging children with the all-important
topic of working to preserve the habitat of these delightful
animals.
Geronimo rallies friends Echaswa the Raccoon, Koowe the Panther,
Kunu the Squirrel, Yube the Alligator, Obu the Owl, and many others
to chase Bad Billy out of the swamp. But Bad Billy is equally ready
to put a stop to them. To do so, he must stop Geronimo first. As
the two groups clash, and Geronimo is captured, the suspense and
excitement build in this delightful, fast-paced tale with a
meaningful message. It's up to Geronimo to save Big Cypress Swamp
Overly excited for their day at the beach, two robot friends, Jake
and Ilene, pack everything they can think of, except for one
crucial item-oil Without oil, Ilene becomes stuck in the sand, and
Jake sets off in pursuit of some, to dislodge Ilene's wheel before
she short circuits in the sun. Despite his greatest efforts, and
encounters with all kinds of great characters eager to help, it
seems his hopeful oil request is denied at every turn. Robots Don't
Wear Sunscreen is the heart-tugging tale of kindness, cooperation
and overcoming obstacles that will delight children and adults
alike. It will encourage every member of the family to think
creatively and to recognize the importance of our relationships
with others. It's inviting rhythm, colorful illustrations, and
diverse character set will engage the reader, captivate the
imagination and act as an inspirational bedtime story for younger
children or a fun step in an early reader's individual reading
journey In the end, Jake and Ilene are rewarded with the discovery
that, sometimes, what you've needed all along, may be right under
your nose... ...or circuit board.
