Heya, it’s Jeff from 320 Sycamore Studios.
I know. Back again so soon.
I’ll be fast fast fast.
Okay — if you haven’t heard, I’m running a not-a-pledge-week this week.
It’s more like a how-about-a-tip week, with the tip capped at a dollar.
That’s it.
One buck. Once a year.
No AI. No auto-renew. No shenanigans.
Here’s the link:
Basically, I’m passing around my well-traveled bucket hat and asking you to toss in a buck.
(Hmm. Maybe I should have called it “A-Buck-for-the-Bucket-Hat Week”.)
Oh, and if you already sent a tip over, please know that you turned me into a giant puddle of gratitude.
Thank you!
You deserve to know what you get for your money.
There are a bunch of reasons. Here’s No. 5-1 from my post “Fighting the broligarchy, one kids book at a time”:
Original kid stories served fresh monthly.
There are 27 stories right now, but the number goes up every month.
And they’re all free. Visit our bookshelf page to read them all.
Some are long (I’ll be sharing a 300-page middle-grade novel in a couple months.) Some are short. Some are poems, some wordplay, some realistic, some whimsical.
And the reviews are really nice!
Mostly.
There is that particular one-star Amazon review of “Goodnight Tomb”. But hey, you can’t please everybody.
Anyway, here’s a smattering:
“Ooh Odd Zoo: 25 Unusual Animals and 1 Ordinary Larva“
This brilliant, hilarious collection of playful (and surprisingly informative) verse is a huge hit in our house, right up there with “Where the Sidewalk Ends” and “Dragons Dragons.” I’ve read it to my son a dozen times now and three or four more times just to myself.

I bought this book for my grandson to enjoy, but I have to say, I enjoyed reading through it first and will look forward to reading it with him. Love the thought of Messy Blessings...appreciating the things you might normally find unloveable. And the illustrations are as fun as the story! Kudos to the author. Five stars and highly recommended for young children!

When my now 5-year-old-son was smaller, we read Goodnight Moon all the time.
As soon as we got “Goodnight Tomb” in we read it, then he wanted to read it 2 more times. He laughed so hard and then compared the two books side by side and laughed more. This book is so clever and already one of our new favorites!

Happy reading,
Jeff
