At The Children’s Bookstore we have one goal. That is to present to young readers and their parents the most inspirational and educational children’s books available. You won’t find these delightful books for children anywhere else on the internet. These kid’s books are selected from the most creative independent publishers in the entire world. We offer a select list of books for kids that focus on important themes yet thoroughly entertain. Sometimes the point of kid’s stories is to just have fun reading them. We never lose sight of this.
At the present time we have four wonderful titles available. With the exception of the Young Adult Novel “The Midget Green Swamp Moose” (ages 12 and up) they are for children aged 7 to 70. We will be adding titles to our sales list at a rate of around four books per year. The quality of writing and illustration we demand from publishers makes finding even four books of this caliber every year a task in itself. We also insist books be constructed using higher than industry standards papers and cover materials.
Please look around our website. There are excerpts from all of our books and samples of the actual illustrations used. We believe you will quickly understand why these are Stories your child will cherish forever.
How many of us truly take notice of the world around us as events occur? During the course of a lifetime so many miracles happen. And when that lifetime stretches to be over 300 years long the stories of amazing days are countless. Chen Li is a master story teller. He is well over 300 years of age. He earns his keep in the small North China village of Ming Po by minding children. He keeps their rapt attention with stories of the wonders he has seen during the course of his lifetime.
One such tale is "The Heart of Nine Tigers."
Genghis Khan and 10,000 horsemen are racing across all of Northern China. They will pass through the Ming Po Valley and take from it all their continuing conquest requires. No one can stop them. None dare try. Su Tai is just 11 years old and will not run to the high hills overlooking Ming Po. Her world is her village. But farmers and merchants and the town’s mayor are no test for 10,000 galloping horsemen, each ready with spear, sword, bow and arrows. Master storyteller Chen Li narrates this delightful inspirational tale that happened one thousand years ago and surely must be true.
Alligators Can’t Stand Butterflies! And with good reason. Those pesky Monarch Butterflies at the St. Marks Wildlife Refuge have been annoying the alligators in the freshwater ponds for years. It’s hard to pretend to be a log and catch a fish for dinner with a bright orange butterfly sitting on your nose.
Alligators Can’t Stand Butterflies is an amusing collaboration of 6 stand-alone chapters that combine to tell one true yet fanciful tale, the story of the annual North American Monarch Butterfly Migration.
Set in the raw beauty of the Florida Panhandle’s Forgotten Coast at the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, ‘Alligators’ lets the reader wonder what all the animal inhabitants of the refuge are really up to when people are not closely watching.
The book begins with entertaining background information that reads with no more difficulty than a child’s book report. This sets the stage for half a dozen animal capers that are an engaging mix of silly, slightly sad and by story’s end, sublime.
In the spirit of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' "The Yearling" and Katherine Paterson's "Bridge to Terabithia", The Midget Green Swamp Moose offers the reader a charming visit to rural life and lifestyle at a special time in the recent American past.It's 1963 and most of the world is in love with the Kennedy's and Washington D.C.'s new version of Camelot. But that influence scarcely touches Melanie and Bret Fowler as they tend to chores and attempt to find diversions from summer boredom on their 117 acre farm in the Florida panhandle. Life turns and tumbles for 12 year old Bret and 11 year old Melly, as she is called, through an assortment of poignant and powerful moments. At points tearfully sad, but far more often humorous and uplifting, The Midget Green Swamp Moose paints an endearing picture of time and place in keeping with a true southern living experience.
