What others are telling us. / reviews:

    "The story of Timmy the Mouse (of Time) captivates and delights my children and me. This is a story told with love for all children and the child within us all. It has all of the elements that every parent looks for in a tale; a good story, listening to your parents, little lessons, safe adventures, dreams and family values. My kids ask for it almost every evening. The free recorded reading is brilliant. I bought the video for 99 cents and can't wait for the book and folio to arrive." - Susan Sherill (Jacob and Alex, too.)
