More Details About the Books
These 10 picture books use story to teach about hard work and goal setting. Each character sets a goal and has to overcome obstacles in order to reach it. These are not the typical "Be Content With Who You Are" books, but rather, "When You Work Hard You Become More Than You Were." With a magical Ka-Poof at the end, each animal becomes a hilarious mashup creature, which always makes kids laugh.
Written by Valerie Harmon and illustrated by Carol Stevens, these illustrated children's books have won the Family Choice Award in the interactive animated version, and most of them have hit #1 Best Seller on Amazon (in category) and won the Reader's Favorite 5 Star award.

“A” is for armadillo and antelope—but have you ever heard of an antedillo? How this and 25 other crazy creatures came to be is what this delightful picture book explores. These tales, however, have not yet been told, because you are their creator. You’ll be introduced to a simple pattern for building your own stories, along with facts and images to spark your unlimited imagination. Adults and children alike can easily learn the pattern, leading to hours of shared enjoyment.
The animated eBook is available on Apple Books, and the softcover and digital eBook versions are available on Amazon.
