The Bad Puppeteer [EPUB ebook] 

The Bad Puppeteer is a funny little story about the perils of excess and on a deeper level it cautions against falling for the slick patter of a glib salesman. Go back to the old West when snake oil salesmen roamed the West selling the patent medicine potions while spinning fantastic tales in order to con people out of their hard earned cash. It’s a story that can be absorbed on the most fundamental level but can also resonate as a child matures.
