Date: 12 16, 2011
A delightful collection of short stories recounted by a father chronicling the explorations of his daughter Nell. Nell is a very thoughtful, contemplative and questioning little girl who sees things thru the eyes of childhood innocence. These stories will charm and mesmerize as you are engaged in each story from the father's point of view as well as Nell's point of view.The stories contained in this book are:The Sun ZebraBob The Intrepid InsectnautRaven - LenoreThe Meaningless Christmas TreeBirdman and The Fairy TaleEach of these delightful tales manages to convey to a child the meaning of life, heartbreak, death, love and the true meaning of the things we create and hold dear. I found myself laughing and feeling the frustration and satisfaction of a parent trying to explain life in a way that a child can understand.You will be gratified by the special connection this father has with his daughter and the love they share.This is a book for adults and a book for parents to read with their children. This book is written with a tender humor and a genuine compassion for the importance of the feelings and emotions of a child.I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more from Phantomimic.Marilou George ~ The Kindle Book Review
