Dinosaur’s Night Before ChristmasBy Jim Harris

T-Rex takes over Christmas.

In this twist on the classic Night Before Christmas poem, eight enormous dinosaurs soar through the sky before crashing onto the rooftop of one unsuspecting father. After a scaly reptile squeezes down the chimney and eats all the food meant for Santa, the worried man begins to wonder if he is next. With the help of Saint Nick, the man and his son, Mikey, attempt to save Christmas from the prehistoric creatures. Hilarity and adventure follow in this festive tale with a primitive twist.

The Decoy Artist: America’s Last Hunter-CarverBy David F. Giannetto

A tribute to a dying art and an American tradition.

Vincent Giannetto III is the last of the old-time decoy carvers, an artist whose work has been displayed at the Smithsonian, Rockefeller Center, and the White House. More than that, he is a symbol of a vanishing way of life. This illustrated

biography follows the story of a boy trying to balance the freedom of the river with the stability of a closely knit family as he finds his place in the world. Photographs of the decoys crafted by Giannetto, one of the nation’s most respected and collectible Delaware River carvers, decorate this tale of classic Americana. An apprentice to his father, DAVID F. GIANNETTO is an award-winning decoy carver and a wildlife photographer. He can frequently be found hunting the Delaware River and Bay with his father and brothers.

Memories of a Farm KitchenBy Bob Artley and Rob ArtleyIllustrated by Bob ArtleyForeword by Harvey Bernard

A nostalgic look at the traditional American farm kitchen.

The hearth of the home, the kitchen, represents the warmth and well-being of the

family that meets daily to enjoy hearty, homemade food and converse with pleasure. Award-winning artist Bob Artley evokes this ideal in his beautiful homage to the farm kitchen from his past. Filled with heirloom family recipes, cozy memories, and Artley’s signature pen-and-ink drawings and full-color illustrations, this is a loving and detailed celebration of rural life, family, and food from a simpler time.

BOB ARTLEY was born in Iowa on the family farm established by his grandfather in 1877. A graduate of Grinnell College, he is an artist whose drawings, watercolors, and cartoons have for over 60 years captured his memories of the details of farm life. While

he is technically retired, he continues to draw, paint, and write.

Cop’s Night Before ChristmasBy Officer Michael D. HarrisonIllustrated by David Miles

Being on Santa’s naughty list just got worse.

A police officer feels less than merry when he has to work the graveyard shift on Christmas Eve. Rather than changing flat tires and rescuing kittens, his only holiday wish is to spend the evening with his family. All of a sudden, a large bearded sergeant appears, complete with a helicopter and spotlight to watch over the sleepy town.

Veteran police officer MICHAEL D. HARRISON began a charity called Santa Cops, which delivers gifts to disadvantaged youth. Harrison has taught the DARE program to elementary-school students and decision-making skills to sixth graders.

DAVID MILES is a freelance illustrator who has worked as a game and page-layout designer and has illustrated several children’s books.
