STARRY NIGHT STORIES 2
By D. B. Pacini-Christensen
|
This is a trio of wonderful children's stories with numerous art illustrations
and high quality photographs. Children and young-at-heart adults can read these
large print stories.
Most of the text in this book is Comic Sans 18-font bold. It is a popular font for
visually impaired and dyslexic readers. It is also a font many young readers can
read with ease.
"The Secret Hole" takes four children on an astonishing
adventure to Chuckles Village, an enchanting imaginary world where they meet
talking animals and sweet people. The children's exciting journey leaves them
capable of whistling better than most people in the world, except for Grandpa
Tim. But, there is a reason that Grandpa Tim has the extraordinary whistling
ability too.
"Falabella" is a story about a miniature horse that is sad because
she is smaller than the other horse children at her school. She is laughed at
and made fun of because she is different. She has no friends. One day one of
her classmates chooses to befriend her, and it changes many lives. This story
shows children that friendship can heal a broken heart and can make the world
a better place.
Grandpa Tim wrote a song titled, "CC Railroad," for his
granddaughter. The story, "CC Railroad," is a compliment to the song.
The story has unexpected twists and turns. A little girl and her dad
think they are going on a pleasant steam train ride. They meet a girl
who is the daughter of the conductor. She assures them that they will
see many animals and birds as the train rumbles through the forest.
But, robbers force the train to stop; they kidnap everyone
except the two girls who are able to quickly hide. With encouragement from wild
horses that run beside the tracks, the girls bravely journey throughout the night
with one goal in mind --- they are going to get their dads back and rescue everyone!
