George Cooper is the proud grandparent of Lydia Morris, who did the illustrations for this book. His interest in writing dates back to his retirement. Encouraged by the reactions of fellow students in his writing classes, George has filled his retirement with the happy task of encouraging laughter in children and a giggle or two from the adults in their lives. He has worked as an intern on the Bob Turk and the Sunshine Kids TV show. He wishes to be known as a teller of silly tales for young children and adults who are children at heart.
