Publisher's Summary:

In the 1990s, Jim Brewster put his sons, Ben and Luke, to bed each night with an "Uncle Rocky, Fireman" story. During each story, they enjoyed making truck engine sounds, blasting the siren, and testing the air horn. They also developed hand and body motions and pantomimed getting dressed for the fire. However, the best part of each story was at the end when they mimicked Uncle Rocky as he said, "Glad to do it!"

It was great fun then, and we hope as you listen to this audio it will continue as great fun for you and your children. The stories are completely free of any bad behavior, and the characters like and enjoy each other.

If you enjoy the stories, please visit Uncle Rocky's website at www.GladToDoIt.net, where you can download coloring pages or purchase the books for your children's library.

They get along...most times; and they decided to keep the same journal together but not to read each others' entries. In this funny compilation of journal entries from two very different personalities, you'll hear about their opposing emotions and laugh your head off when you learn of their contradicting views.

Story 2: Martha doesn't consider herself the crème of the crop to the eligible young men in her neighborhood, but when somebody tells her she is a princess, her lifestyle and charisma change immediately. With that being said, it doesn't come easy for her to adjust to the habits and perfect her princess skills. Do you like princesses? Then this little book is a fun listen to enjoy.

Story 3: They hate each other. They like each other. They love each other. They argue with each other...this love book is about a couple that goes through the motions of a typical rollercoaster relationship. Sharon and Russell work at the same company and do whatever it takes to get to the top. But when they have to make some tough choices, they realize that their feelings for each other exceed any ambitions they have. Will this lovely couple make it through and overcome their challenges?

A good kid story

Little ones will definitely like this story as the children become part of the team. Another fun read. Thank you!

Great read

I rated this a 5 star. I think the author gets better with each book she writes. A very fast read because it was so fascinating. I wished there were more pictures because she is a talented artist as well. I am 76 years old and loved the story, just wished I had a grand child to read it to. More pics please.

A lovely children's tale

A fantastical and whimsical (pun intended) tale for children. Light hearted and fast paced, the author moves through the story with a certain grace. As Panda and Poppy, attempt for foil the plans of Mr. Wedge, you are drawn in to the authors created world. Perfect for children, and the adults who read to them.

Members Reviews:

Delightful adventures with Lolli continue!

Yet another wonderful adventure with Lolli! This time she and Liquorice take us on a journey to the heart of Australia, looking out for mythical and slightly less mythical creatures of this ancient continent, bunyips and wallabies. When our job there is done, our magical journey takes us to outer space where we help s lonely star find its cluster. And after that, a treasure hunt with Pirate Bluebeard and a sneaky thief lurking about!

These delightful stories teach young kids (and adults!) how to deal with boredom, loneliness and broken promises, and how to find purpose and joy wherever life may take us.

Highly recommended for 4 to 10-year-olds.

Imagination time together with our 4 year old son :-)

I have been doing these (from Lolli and the Lollipop onwards) with our four year old son and we both absolutely love this fun imagination time together :-) He's even started to talk to Lolli as an individual and asks her questions and rushes off to get books to show her during the adventure.

Publisher's Summary:

Alien Agent Zack Gaither has spent his whole life on planet Earth. His assignment: to protect humans from the knowledge of life on other planets. Finally, the time is right, and Zack has the chance to help Earth join the Galactic Union.

The only problem? A small army of alien thugs is set on keeping Earth out of the picture. And they're planning to take Zack out in the process.

Fortunately, Zack's got a few old friends on his side. Together, they're headed on an adventure that will take Zack off of Earth and across the galaxy.

What will the future hold for this Alien Agent?

Members Reviews:

Alien Agent, Zack Gaither, is once again on the job to plead Earth's case to the Galactic Union ...

Zack's parents figured he was way too old to go trick-or-treating, but he and his friend, Ken, had everything figured out. They'd stuff their trick-or-treat bags under their costumes and get some loot before and after the Halloween party at the school gym. There were lots of goodies to be had, but Zack figured "the guy who gave out candied prunes ought to be jailed." Ken spotted a couple of fat bald guys, who were obviously Gnairt. Zack had never met a good Gnairt, so obviously something bad was up in the universe. Neither one of the guys saw anyone they wanted to dance with at the party, but Zack thought that dancing with Shasta would be nice. All of a sudden, she appeared ...

Shasta O'Neil's grandfather, a Native American medicine-man, told her that her future was "tied up with star spirits." Until a couple of years ago, Zack didn't know that he himself was "an alien living among humans." He was just learning about his special powers and was just learning how to use them. Heck, he could even manipulate cell molecules and energy. That is, if he knew how. Zack was an Alien Agent and the appearance of the Gnairt meant trouble, but what could it be?

Pfffft! Trouble quickly erupted and Vraj appeared by Zack's side to help defend him from energy beams aimed in his direction. Agents Sorn and Khh, a winged cat, were on the scene to whisk him away on an awaiting spaceship. Danger! Danger! Could it be the Gnairt or the Kiapa Kapa Syndicate? They were going to try to head to the Galactic Union headquarters where Zack would speak on behalf of Earth. Huh? It was the only way that Earth would be allowed to join the union. It wouldn't be long before they faced a deadly ambush. "Defense shields up!" Would they make it to the stars or would they be able to make their escape by jumping into transluminal space?

Alien Agent, Zack Gaither, is once again on the job to plead Earth's case to the Galactic Union. No doubt that Zack is the best kid agent in town, or the universe for that matter, and I definitely enjoy reading about his adventures. A surprise addition to the series is Shasta, who has special spirit powers of her own. She, like Zack, is just coming into her own as she learns how to use them. My favorite weird alien creatures were the Jibjibs, "hopping, squealing, biting jelly beans," critters I wouldn't want to see arrive on my doorstep, but love to read about. Shasta did claim that "This is better than any reality TV Show," and I think I might have to agree with the young spirit girl.

Josh Higgins has an alien gizmo that lets him think his way to other planets - and he does not want to use it. But his sister Maggie won't stop bugging him, so he agrees to an off-world vacation. Josh dreams up a planet full of blue oceans, white beaches, and sunny weather. And he prepares for everything...well, almost.

A parade of cranky creatures soon spoil Josh and Maggie's perfect getaway - including a one-horned beast, a sharp-toothed sea princess, and a two-tailed monkey. The planet's locals just can't get along, and Josh and Maggie find themselves caught up in the squabbling.

As the Earth kids rush from one danger to another, will they discover a way to keep the peace? Or will Josh and Maggie become prisoners of the not-so-perfect planet?

Members Reviews:

Josh and Maggie's new adventure on an unsettling, freaky planet will wow the young sci fi fan ...

Josh had written an award-winning story that had actually turned "into real worlds somewhere else." There was no such thing as fiction, because in the universe he had simply tapped into the lives of some blue guys. The rest was history, because he and his kid sister, Maggie, had gone on a wild and crazy adventure after they placed an alien circlet gizmo on his head. Off they went into the wild blue yonder. Nope, he'd never do that again. Just being a real human kid was wild enough for him.

It might have been the end of it had Maggie decided she'd had enough of weird creatures, but she was up for another adventure. Maggie looked up to her big brother and wanted him to create some idyllic place with "white sand beaches and a sparkling green sea." She figured he could add some nice touches and include maybe a unicorn, a mermaid, and some pretty stones. Josh went to work, but his planet sounded pretty dull, and Maggie claimed it was "Kind of a lame story." Ummmm ... not for long!

Josh gathered up two translation devices, a set of walkie-talkies, and the alien circlet gizmo and they were off to Maggie's "tourist brochure planet." That sand-filled paradise was anything but a paradise when a doofmelopalan came snarling at them. The only thing unicorn about him was the horn on top of his head. Maggie and Josh were stunned when that "hairy fanged thing" grabbed the circlet. Princess Nwen and Prince Igi would soon arrive to complicate the mess. Googoroo, the volcano god was looking for a yummy sacrifice. Would two human freaks be tasty enough for him? Would Maggie and Josh ever get home?

Josh and Maggie's new adventure on an unsettling, freaky planet will wow the young sci fi fan. Naturally when Maggie asked her big brother to "tune into a place that's not so scary," he had no clue of the dangers in paradise. The "Not-So-Perfect Planet" is loaded with wild `n crazy creatures that make Legg, his six-legged pet look like a newborn kitten. The new alien creatures they encounter are quite unique and definitely have some very memorable personalities and characteristics. Their arguments and spats somehow seemed very kid-human and familiar. When Doof claims "All sea creatures are the same. Nasty cheats ..." Well, you get the picture. This is yet another quirky, fun adventure in the "way-Too-Real Aliens" series young readers will love.

Members Reviews:

Great book!

My son said he really liked the book -- and he's not easy to please when it comes to books!

This is an exciting sci fi adventure of Josh, a young writer who suddenly finds himself living in his own book!

Josh Higgins was a bookish nerd and the perfect target for bullies like Bert Claypool and his gang. Josh's head was filled with stories, stories that won him awards at school. Naturally he was a teacher's pet because they all loved guys like him. Not Bert. When Bert went after him at the mall his kid sister stepped up to the plate to rescue him. "Hey, bug off, slug face!" It was totally embarrassing to have Maggie help him out. Worse yet she yelled at him too. "How come you can write about big brave heroes, but can't act like one!" On the way home after Josh and Maggie kept seeing flashes of blue appearing in the woods. It seemed like there were some blue guys stalking them. What the heck was going on?

It didn't look like a very promising day, but once they got home he had some time to think about his next writing project to enter in the yearly contest. Miss Jordan was counting on him to come up with another winner. "Danger on Yastol" was a huge hit and was an award-winner. Things always seem better after a good night's sleep and Josh only had to put up with his kid sister and her acting group. Maggie was going to ream him out after the rehearsal, but all of a sudden the blue guys showed up. To his surprise they "were tall, flat, and fearless." They weren't there to act in any play and meant business when they asked him to take them to Yastol to mine some aafth. One of them claimed that "We need aafth for our weapons. For our spaceships ... enough to give us power to conquer the galaxy." The unimaginable had come true. Josh's book had turned to reality and he and Maggie were going to be in deep trouble ... in Yastol!

This is an exciting sci fi adventure of Josh, a young writer who suddenly finds himself living in his own book. He finds himself having to do some quick thinking when he meets up with his own characters. Some like Prince Izor are nonthreatening, while others like the slave traders are villainous. I enjoyed the wide variety of imaginative critters like the "grey-green riding beasts," but my favorite was Leggy, a polka-dotted "dit-dit." Young readers will enjoy this foray into the unknown world of Yastol. The read is quick, light, fun, and would be perfect for the reluctant reader or one who enjoys quirky sci fi adventures.
