Chip, the Little Computer is an endearing story written side by side in both English and Spanish. Chip has a dream: to help children learn new things and to make them laugh and play. His story starts out in a cold, dark warehouse. After countless disappointments, Chip is told by a wise old copy machine to have faith in his dream. He learns the

power of determination that comes from believing in your dream no matter what happens. The story has a surprise ending.

Laughing Day is another delightful story written in both English and Spanish. Oolong, a young lad from the village of the Boologs, searches for Pickled Palamadora, a delicacy that his mother has sent him to buy for the up coming Laughing Day celebration.

        To his dismay, there is none to be found and he is sent off to the village of the Grumpies to find some. (Grumpies are a group of very disagreeable elves.) This sets the stage for an extraordinary adventure.

Oolong must pass through the scary Dark Forest in order to get to the Grumpies’ village. Along the way, he learns a valuable life lesson from a wise old man who helps him when his pushcart looses a wheel. Oolong teaches this lesson to the Grumpies he encounters. A marvelous and wonderful thing happens when he returns home for the Laughing Day

celebration.
