Oliver the Ornament is a heartwarming tale of one family’s cherished Christmas ornaments. The story centers on Oliver, who has been with this family since Mom and Dad’s very first date. Years later, Oliver, now injured and bullied, still has the magic of Christmas in his heart.  The story follows Oliver’s excitement for Christmas, his heartbreak, and his determination to overcome all odds to save the day. Oliver, along with his friends, will warm your heart with his kindness, humility, and love for his family and friends. We hope the story will bring families together to tell the stories of their own ornaments and the special meaning that so many of them possess. Because after all…. Every Ornament Tells a Story. The 56 page 10 X 10 book is sold with an adorable hand-painted ornament of Oliver himself, packaged in a beautiful gift set.

Oliver the Ornament Introduction Video:

 

REVIEW: Oliver the Ornament is a book about a broken ornament bullied by others, left alone in the attic. He teaches the children who live in his home about kindness toward enemies and all of the memories Christmas brings. The illustrations are whimsical. Oliver teaches that every ornament has a story and that story is one about nostalgia and family. We loved it! The book came in a boxed set with an Oliver ornament, perfect for Christmas gift giving.

THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF JIMMY CRIKEY: Worlds Beneath And Above The Stars Blog Tour and Giveaway

December 16, 2020 By Heather 1 Comment

 

Little Red Reads is happy to be hosting a spot on the THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF JIMMY CRIKEY: Worlds Beneath And Above The Stars by Wallace E. Briggs Blog Tour hosted by Rockstar Book Tours. Check out my post and make sure to enter the giveaway!

 

About The Book:

Title: THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF JIMMY CRIKEY: Worlds Beneath And Above The Stars

Author: Wallace E. Briggs

Pub. Date: June 11, 2020

Publisher: Wallace E. Briggs

Formats: Paperback, eBook

Pages: 304

Find it:  Goodreads, Amazon, Kindle, TBD, Bookshop.org

Read for FREE on Kindle Unlimited!

Do you want to know a secret?

Beneath the very ground on which you walk and beyond the stars above your head, are more worlds than you could ever dream of. There are monsters. Be afraid. Magic, wielded by witches and sorcerers. Epic adventures in worlds far across the ocean. And fearsome weapons which threaten to destroy everything.

Jimmy Crikey is a brave soul who faces some pretty scary challenges. Solving mysteries and averting mayhem, his incredible courage allows him to free up his abilities to shine and rise above every challenge in his path, on his way to discovering why he looks so very strange.

With a bright red mop of unruly hair, big blue eyes, a small snub nose, pointed ears and enormous feet, poor Jimmy is ridiculed by the neighbourhood children and runs away in search of a world where he fits in. Following a midnight flight through the forest, he stumbles into a lost, underground world called Roombelow and magic, adventure, danger and excitement await.

From the little lady who lives at the bottom of a well, a starship that wants to take him home, trolls, little people, traders and diamonite stealers to water sprites, witches, helpful dolphins, and interplanetary warfare, Jimmy learns the biggest lessons of his life.

 

 


About Wallace E. Briggs: 

Wallace Briggs (1943 – present). My formative years were experienced in and around Durham City. Married in 1964 to a girl I first met at the age of eleven,Pat and I spent many happy years in the North East before employment almost took us off to emigrate to Jo’berg, South Africa but plans were changed in the final weeks and instead the company moved me to Sussex.
After more than twenty years in Sussex, then Hampshire, employment was again responsible for the move to beautiful rural Lancashire.

Jimmy Crikey was born one rainy day, many years ago, during a family holiday in Great Yarmouth, to entertain my son and his new found friends for an hour or so. The story expanded over the following wet afternoons in the cramped confines of a beach tent, and more and more adventures were required to keep the children entertained. Many years later I decided to commit to the written word. Now retired I look forward to sharing The Amazing Adventures of Jimmy Crikey with a wider audience. These began as several short, twenty minute duration, stories but after an encouraging review from a major Publisher I brought them together in this offering and hope they will bring a sense of wonder and enjoyment to another generation.

little red reads review

This book brought me back to my childhood. Scratch and sniff books were my favorite! Our toddler carried it around with her all day and asked us to read it to her several times. The illustrations are vivid and the smelly stickers have plenty of potency. Our only wish was that every page had a sticker. She was a bit confused when it was missing. Otherwise, our favorite book in a long time. Perfect for engaging toddlers in a multi-sensory reading time!
