A hilarious story about a 10-year-old boy who receives for his 5th birthday a most unusal present from his great aunt. Imagine the boy's surprise and delight when he unwraps a present the size of a refrigerator! Inside the huge box is Floyd the gorilla! Floyd is friendly and cheerful, and he eats only Gorilla Soup! Fortunately Floyd comes with a recipe for Gorilla Soup, and the boy and Floyd waste no time in going to the local grocery store to purchase the necessary ingredients for the soup. Then, back at home with all the ingredients on hand, the boy mixes a batch of the gorilla soup in his bathtub, carefully stirring the concoction with a canoe paddle. The recipe calls for a dash of salt, but there's no mention of pepper. The boy reasons that everyone knows you have to have some pepper too, so he adds a dash of pepper, hoping it will improve the soup and make it more appealing to Floyd. But instead, the added pepper has disasterous results when Floyd downs his first batch of the tweaked soup. Join the fun and read about the hilarous misadventures that follow, and find out the cure for Floyd's affliction as a result of ingesting the dash of pepper in his gorilla soup! This fun and adventurous story has full-color illustrations throughout. Gorilla Soup! will delight readers and listeners ages 3 and up.

Life was good for brothers Blitz and Blatz.  Born of royalty, living in an elegant palace, feasting on plentiful, delicious food, they had no worries, no concerns.  Their extravagant and decadent lifestyle excluded any thought or concern for the poor or the hungry. They had no idea how the other half lived, nor did they care. Until one day, they were evicted suddenly and unexpectedly from their lap of luxury, and found themselves living in a dumpster, scrounging for scraps of food in a dilapidated alley. Now the two brothers constantly fought misery and hunger.  Convinced that there was no end to their misery, they gave up hope.  But then one day, they met a stranger in that alley--a stranger who delivered a message to them that would change their whole lives!  But who or what was that stranger?  And what was the message that would transform the lives of two very selfish brothers?
