Book Description: Celebrate the joy of friendship and the satisfaction it brings with this delightful book about two best friends. Told in rhyme with cheerful, bright illustrations, Scooter & Cupcake take young readers on a lively, fast-paced journey of friendship and camaraderie. These two inseparable piggy pals share everything: possessions and activities as well as helping in times of need. Scooter & Cupcake is a great building block for young readers.
Mary’s Review: What a cute little rhyming book. The piggy illustrations are adorable.
The story tells of two little piggies, Scooter and Cupcake, who have learned how to share everything they have with each other and how much fun it is. They love each other and wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s a great little book for teaching our young ones the joy of sharing with each other and the happiness it brings.
I recommend this book for ages 4-8.

Book Description: “If you have a hat – put it on your head. If you have a bed bug – tuck him up in bed.” A silly rhyming picture book created especially for Kindle by children’s author/illustrator Gerald Hawksley. Simple silly rhyming text and jolly pictures make this an ideal Kindle experience for sharing with children.
Mary’s Review: What a delightful rhyming book. The illustrations are so cute and even though the book is silly rhyme it is well done and there is a lesson to it. If you have something, do something with it. Make it’s value more than it was worth to start with.
I recommend this book for ages 0-4.
About The Author: I am a children’s book author and illustrator and part time astronaut. I like making Kindle books. I live in a small castle beside the River Snood with my chums Lord Treacle, “Mousy” Mousington and Otto Fishblanket. We often go treasure hunting and then come home and have tea and cake, and sometimes, if the weather has been particularly inclement, tea and teacakes.
