ODDVARK, and the yellow kazoo is a seriously/silly story for readers of all ages What is the thing that tickles your toes winds 'bout your tummy and prickles your nose. If that tickle should dance to the beat of your heart, you've found the place where happiness starts. Oddvarkandcompany.com In keeping with the "Oddvarkian Way," a philosophy of self-discovery and generosity of spirit that includes taking responsibility for one's own mistakes, the author created the second edition of Oddvark and the Yellow Kazoo in order to make necessary corrections to the work. The second edition is also printed on a heavier bond paper, making it a true work of art that is suitable for gift-giving. The first edition remains a good source of inspiration and classroom discussion.

This is a story of the adventures, Of three little girls I'm sure you'll agree, Who have a wonderful time on an island, Where there's lots of do and see. They journey by bus and train and boat, To the shores of old Lerwick Town, They see lots of creatures you'll like I know, Dolphins, and lambs with coasts as white as snow. They also enjoy feeding the hens, And looking at all the Shetland cattle too, They like to pat a "Sheltie" dog, I'm sure you'd like to do that too. They have pony rides and swim in the sea, Where they spot seals and otters too, They watch Grandma sit and milk and cows, Can you guess what they also love to do?

A child's hopes and dreams come alive on a swing set as she opens the doors of her climbing tower and delves into the depths of her own imagination.
