He is so excited, he can hardly sit still when Father Rabbit tells a story about a lucky little rabbit who had three wishes that all came true.

Davy's birthday finally arrives and with it comes a big surprise present--too big to be wrapped -- that makes all of Davy's wishes come true and his birthday the happiest one ever. This new adventure featuring Davy and the Rabbit family shows that love is the best gift of all.

Your Personal Penguin is an irrepressible, read-aloud, listen-along favorite for young children and the grown-ups who read to them. Fun to hold, the book tells the story of a slightly bewildered hippo and the loyal penguin who wants nothing more than to be his pal: Now, lots of other penguins seem to be fine in a universe of nothing but ice. But if I could be yours, and you could be mine, Our cozy little world would be twice as nice. I want to be Your Personal Penguin. The original song "Your Personal Penguin," sung by Davy Jones of The Monkees, is available for download.

Free-spirited Allie Hudson knew there might be consequences to her behavior, but frequently chose to ignore them leaving childhood sweetheart Beck Williams to take the blame. Because he loved her, it was an arrangement that suited them both. Until someone died and Allie disappeared. Now, twelve years, Allie is a child advocate running for her life with one of the children in her care. Fleeing from unknown pursuers, and with no place else to go, she runs to Beck, the only person she can trust. She’d made some powerful enemies when she began calling for public oversight on police corruption, so heeding threats and warnings, and after escaping an assault she goes into hiding. Beck, a reclusive wildlife biologist and nature photographer living on the family ranch in Southwest Colorado, couldn’t remember a day he hadn’t thought of Allie since she left without a word. When she shows up at his door—with someone else’s child—he promises to do the right thing, but very soon isn't sure what the right thing is.

A fifteen-year-old won't believe that he is an alcoholic until personal tragedy forces him to face reality.
