Tales of Big Jon and Other Creatures

Book excerpt: Young children are story machines. The simple act of growing up always results in unplanned adventures and missteps that are often wildly entertaining to the family. As parents, we cope with their antics at the time, laugh about them later, then forget them as new journeys begin. The Armitage children had more than their share of adventures and their stories served as entertainment for friends and family over the years. In this marvelous book, Allan has shared their stories. Many will bring back memories of children's frolics, all will make you smile, and some will even result in spontaneous belly laughter. As delightful as the tales are, the wonderful illustrations make them come alive even more. Story telling is as old as time, and time stands still as we enjoy reliving our children's youth.
