The Rainmaker

Take your imagination to places it has never been as Clarence learns how rain is really made.  Clarence wondered. He wondered if the wind could make him fly, if clouds tasted good, and if he ate one, would he float?  One day Clarence is so busy wondering, he nearly walks past the tap. The sign says "RAIN." It used to say "DRAIN," but the "D" has worn off. Clarence wonders...if he turns it, will it rain?  As the rain teems down, Clarence meets a marvelous man who claims that the tap belongs to him; in fact it's been in his family for generations. Seeing that Clarence is a natural rainmaker, the man asks him to look after the tap while he goes on holiday. He explains that you can make whatever kind of rain you like: cats and dogs, hats and frogs...though be careful when it comes down in buckets!  And with that the man departs, leaving Clarence in charge. Under a cloudless sky Clarence returns home, wondering what makes thunder growl...then, with a triumphant grin on his face, he conducts a magnificent lightning storm and finds out!  In this whimsical and amusing story Clarence's wonderful imagination and curiosity are justified through a chance encounter with a most engaging man. The bold, colorful pastel drawings complement the playfulness of this innovative tale.  Key Features a delightfully imaginative and fun story will appeal to a child's sense of wonder and marvel dynamic illustrations add zest and humor of their own

Literature & Fiction

Roger Gets Carried Away

Can imagination help escape a visit to the eye doctor?  Roger is a little kid with a BIG imagination. In fact, he is secretly known as Captain Kaboodle, and in his mind's eye, he can imagine almost anything. Like a green and furry Astro Blob lurking beneath his bed. Or big and beastly dinosaurs growling during dinner.  But then mom announces a trip to the eye doctor, and Captain Kaboodle faces his biggest foe yet: glasses. When mom picks out a sturdy and sensible pair, Roger flees into deep space.  There, Captain Kaboodle agrees to help the multi-eyed Zarfnutt aliens in their own quest for specs. But when Roger first zooms too close to space squids and then right into the maw of a one-eyed Humbug, he must admit maybe he does need glasses. Fortunately, his sturdy and sensible pair is perfect -- and particularly indigestible to the Humbug.  With keen eyesight restored, Roger manages to escape the Humbug, deliver a billion glasses to the Zarfnutts, and still make it home in time for dinner.  Roger Gets Carried Away will captivate children with a penchant for adventure, imagination, and laugh-out-loud fun.  Barbara Todd gets carried away herself in this imaginative tale of intergalactic fun. Also along for the ride is award-winning illustrator Rogé, whose wacky and vivid artwork perfectly reveals Roger's inner world.
