Ben has learned to expect the unexpected from his father. When his dad wakes him at dawn on the first day of summer vacation and invites him on a road trip to rescue an abandoned Border Collie, it doesn’t even rate as a surprise. What is a surprise is the news that Ben’s father has quit his job and is now buying and selling real estate. How can such a major thing happen in his family and he not even know about it? More importantly, how will this financial status change affect his plans to attend hockey summer camp?

Sammy Keyes and the Showdown in Sin City


A very big and affectionate brown bear has a secret, and a lot of friends he wants to tell it to. He takes his buddies--a clop clop donkey, a thump thump rabbit, a flap flap turkey, a thud thud moose, a swish swish owl, and a slap slap beaver--on an adventure through the forest. Clad in his red tennis shoes, Tiptoe Joe brings them along on a fun and fanciful journey.
