BUZZ: EASTER BUNNY IS AWOL THIS YEAR!
What's up with the Easter Bunny?
The Trouble with Bunny
Things are not going smoothly. Seems the nosy moon has started something. Did she hear what she thought she heard? Portia the Pig (with the animal critters from the barnyard and forest) are about to make it right...or are they?
A story with a simple lesson— careful what you say.
Words have consequences.

Bodacious adventure story!
ANYTHING COULD BE ANY THING
Another day in Pottsville. Little does Jefferson know that a chance meeting with a talking bat is the beginning of a terrible, wonderful adventure.
For hundreds of years, Lollie was a Faerie Godmother to the kids on Earth. But, for the last 60 years no kid on Earth has called for her help. Sadly, she decides she is useless, nobody needs Faerie Godmothers anymore. So off to the Great Castle she goes...to resign.
But things have a way of going awry in the OtherWorld. Lollie is kidnapped.
A daring escape, with the help of a mysterious stranger, lands Lollie, her friend GooseGoose and the quiet, hungry THING smack-dab in Jefferson's treehouse in Pottsville. And that's where the adventure begins!

and some DoodleDuds notes
Problem-solving strategies are an integral part of a child's healthy development. From a toddler trying to figure out how to navigate to a desirable toy to the adult figuring out how to navigate the corporate world, the skills needed to succeed begin early in childhood.
What do I know? What DON'T I know? What do I need to do? What are the things I CAN do? These are foundation questions that become tools for problem-solving strategies.
The books, Anything Could be AnyThing and The Trouble with Bunny are stories about identifying a problem (or obstacle) and devising a plan (or strategy) to overcome it. These stories are a great way to introduce kids to the importance of blending common sense and creative thinking when devising a plan to solve a problem. Enjoy!
