SOMEONE, I DON'T KNOW WHO LEFT A FULL JAR OF COCO-ANTS WAITING FOR A LONG STICKY ANTEATER TONGUE TO PRY OFF THE PARTIALLY OPENED LID. ALGERNON BY PATRICIA MORAN

Algernon is an anteater, but he is a very ingenious one...He not only loves ants but especially chocolate covered ones. So, to find a supply of his new favorite food, he not only learns to read and to stand up tall, and to consequently join the circus!

This children's book is delightful, with a refreshing commentary describing Algernon's thoughts and his precocious stream-of-consciousness asides...

Meet Algernon the Anteater...you'll love him!

Algernon ambled slowly across his acreage looking for ants. Ants were his passion. Ants were his thing. Ants were his ambition, you might say. ANTS: Plain and simple, fancy or spicy, it made little difference to Algernon.

White ants, red ants, or black ants, it made no never mind to him. An ant was an ant was an ant!

That was the situation at exactly twelve and one-half minutes past ten o’clock on the morning of June 26, 1981.

But! At exactly thirteen and one-half minutes past ten o’clock on that same morning, the entire situation changed!

Because, that was the exact minute, the precise time, the historic moment when Algernon discovered Chocolate-Covered-Ants!

Someone, I don’t know who had left a full jar of chocolate covered ants in Algernon’s backyard. Someone – it could have been anyone – left that jar with a partially opened lid, just waiting to be pried off by a long, sticky, anteater tongue.

Whoever that someone was, they were most careless, and that someone will go down in anteater history as either the most blessed or most cursed, depending on the point of view.

You see, it all depends on the way one looks at the situation because finding that jar of chocolate covered ants changed Algernon’s life completely forevermore.

“Algernon is an entertaining read that shows the importance of being happy with who you are and realizing that every decision leads to some action, good or bad.” ~ Cyrus Webb, media personality/Top Amazon.com Reviewer

AWARD-WINNING BOOK DINKY: THE NURSE MARE'S FOAL BY MARTA MORAN BISHOP. WILL TEAR YOUR HEART OUT AND PUT IT BACK TOGETHER.

Winnie Award Winner at the Equus Film Festival. Dinky: The Nurse Mare’s Foal is the story of one little foals fight for survival after being taken from his mother within hours of his birth. Dinky, takes us on a poignant trip through the heart and mind of an animal, who was born for the sole purpose of producing milk in the mare. In the elite world of horses, Dinky was considered a by-product, a ‘junk foal.’ Dinky’s story will resonate with animal lovers, as well as anyone who has adopted. Although a horse, his story has been called an adoption story. The reader can follow him through the heartbreak, cruelty, loneliness, and finally to happiness in his forever home. His story is based on true events. Each event from the moment the author met Dinky actually happened, though it is the author’s interpretation of what he might have been thinking and feeling during the occasions described in his story. His early life which is unknown has been fictionalized by the author and constructed through research and imagination. There are many wonderful animal rescue leagues, many are very empathic to these young animals, though some are not. Since Ms. Bishop has no knowledge of Dinky’s early days she used the latter to enhance the strength of his story. It will break your heart, open your eyes, lift you up, and teach you much about horses. It is suitable for all ages.

 I don’t want to remember when I first heard the term nurse mare’s foal or who called me Dinky first. I had another name once, but only for a short time. I don’t like to think about those times. When I do, I become frightened and angry. I would be so much happier today if I just could enjoy the moment as Chrome and Connella are doing. Unfortunately for me, I’m not in the mood to nap. Today I’m terrified of sleep for fear the dreams will come back. It’s much better standing here in the middle of the field, letting the cool, gentle breeze flow through my mane, and feeling the warm sun on my back.

Dinky: The Nurse Mare's Foal is a memoir told from the first person's POV (point of view). What makes this memoir unlike any other is that the first person (narrator) is Dinky, a foal whose life begins as a seemingly insurmountable struggle. He survives mistreatment and continued disappointments during his early life.

He longs for the time he spent with his mother who adored him. But he was so young when he was taken from her, that he was confused and lonely. Additionally, he hadn't learned all the lessons of life that would help him in the coming years. However, in their short time together mom infused her love into Dinky's heart and mind while reassuring him that he was smarter than most horses and would grow up to be strong. Dinky's strength would be tested throughout his young life particularly in the areas of learning the ways of a herd and to be able to trust people again.

Luckily for Dinky, a delightful couple named Ken and Marta recognized his beauty..inside and out, adopted him and taught him what it felt like to be nurtured and loved. As Dinky stated, "They even learned how to speak horse." Dinky is both a story of loss as well as a lesson on the power of love to heal.

It is rare that an author can write in the first person and make it feel totally authentic. Author Marta Moran Bishop masters this task brilliantly. A reader of any age who loves and respects animals of all kinds will be deeply touched by this book.

JUST RELEASED:

THE NURSE MARES TALE - THE PLIGHT, HEARTACHE, AND LOVE THE NURSE MARE’S TALE Is the story of Dinky’s mother Sadie, to her friends. During the time before his birth, she recalls the loss of her first baby taken from her by vicious wolves. At the barn, humans refer to her as Ghost for she is all white and very quiet. After Sadie gives birth to Dinky, she must endure another loss, when he is ripped away from her, so she can nurse a more prominent foal destined for greatness. After enduring years of breeding and loss, the older nurse mares must face the auction with the promise of being slaughtered, as they have become too old for breeding and nursing. Do they accept their fate, or will there be another ending for the nurse mares that have given everything, and received little in return? The ending may surprise you. It is a poignant story that will make you cry and rejoice. The Nurse Mare's Tale is the story of Dinky's mom, known as Sadie to her friends, and Ghost to the humans at the barn. It is a poignant story of love, loss, heartache, and friendship that will rip your heart apart and stitch it back up. Unlike Dinky: The Nurse Mare's Foal, it is not based on actual events. It is fiction but based upon research on the lives of the nurse mare. Much focus of late has been on the foals and fillies who are wrenched from their mother sometimes within a day, sometimes a few hours, but nothing much is written about the plight of the nurse mare, whose life is one of breeding and feeding. Unlike puppy mills, the nurse mare does not get to feed her own baby but is rented out to feed the foal or filly of the high-dollar mare.

A Review of Dinky's Book

"Dinky: The Nurse Mare’s Foal is a beautiful story. Marta Moran Bishop was both adventurous and ambitious to undertake an animal’s tale from the first person point of view, and yet she has done it brilliantly. Whether you read Dinky in a straightforward way, as a moving description of the tribulations of a particular caste of equine life, or as an allegory for how we value and treat other humans of humble birth, there is no denying the power and pathos in this work. This book follows in the greatest traditions of Misty of Chincoteague, and Black Beauty, delving into the magnanimous, yet sometimes daunting emotions in that rare, fine place where humans and horses meet. No, you don’t have to love horses to revel this great story of survival. In the end, Dinky will show readers a hard lesson in not bowing to overwhelming hardship if only one can hold a vision for the highest expression of life that one and all deserve.{
