Maya Was Grumpy

Courtney Pippin-Mathur

An artful mixture of fantasy and reality, humor and heart, Maya Was Grumpy celebrates the power of imagination and humor to improve moods. Maya wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, tangled in her blanket, and in a crispy, cranky, grumpy, grouchy mood. She doesn't want to read or color or go outside to play. What's worse, she's determined to share her grumpiness with everyone as she glumps, clumps, and thumps around the house. But when Maya growls at her grandmother, Gramma graciously takes Maya's mood in stride, and even has a solution: Gramma suggests a series of unusual activities that Maya will probably not want to do since she's feeling grumpy—and then dismisses her own silly suggestions before Maya can reject them. Children will find it hard to keep from smiling as they watch Maya's grouchiness dissolve into glee at Gramma's giggle-inducing ideas, while adults will find Gramma's clever tactic a useful strategy to add to their repertoire when kids are grumpy.

The Wonderful O

James Thurber

The Wonderful O tells of a man named Black who despised the letter "O." He deleted it from his language and omitted it from his words. Opals, moonstones, owls, and oaks could not possibly be his items of choice. Instead, he preferred emeralds, rubies, sapphires, and maps since they contained not a single "O" among them. Soon he wanted his entire village to omit the letter "O," but the villagers found words they would not do without—words such as HOPE, LOVE, VALOR, and the most important one of all…

Jones Stories - Fun Works

Jamee Dee

Jones Stories Author 
Jamee Dee 
  
Hi everyone! 
  
Above all else, I’m a dad of four children. 
These interactive Jones Stories were shared verbally with my two youngest children. These stories are designed to expand parent’s and children’s imaginations. Jones Stories are and were maximum FUN! 
  
I’ve been writing for many years. I’ve written film screenplays, scripts, magazine articles, advertising copy, and I’ve worked in the entertainment business for over 30 years. 
As a parent, I wanted something different for my children, to stir their active imaginations. 
To keep the action moving, these books are written like a movie script. Very little description is given, so that each child uses their own imagination. 
Everyone gets the story in their own mind’s eye. 
  
These stories were loved by my children and please enjoy the wild Jones Family ride. 
The Jones Family are an average family that stumbles into a world of magic. 
  
Thank you all, 
Jamee Dee
