The Poem That I Wrote
by Oliver Brooks"You've probably never thought about the many ingredients that go into writing. THE POEM THAT I WROTE explores the process we all travel when creating. From the brain that sends the visuals, down to the hand that guides the pen, that letters the book which contains the paper... All these steps created this book, and the one the next to it, and the one next to that, and the ones a bazillion miles away! They even helped create this very blurb."

Poems By Pom Pom: Verses for children about countryside animals
by Richard W. JohnsonThe author is an 80+ year old grandfather with six grandchildren. His 'family name' is Pom Pom. This came from the first attempt of the eldest grandchild to say 'Grandpa', and has stuck ever since. The youngest grandchild, Ruby, lives 300 miles or so from Pom Pom and Grannie. Because they do not see her all that frequently, one day Pom Pom thought it would be a good idea to send her a home-made card just as a way of keeping in touch. This was 'The Story of Ollie the Owl'. Ruby loved it and thought it great fun-—as did her friends. So Pom Pom sent eleven more cards over a period of time, They all told stories about a variety of countryside animals who each have their special challenges, but manage to solve them in the end. Each has Pom Pom's painting of the animal and a poem to accompany the painting. Ruby hopes other children like them as much as she did.
