| Publisher Description: He (Karl) had heard many stories about various rolling calf encounters, but he personally had never seen one before, well at least not until now. A "rolling calf" is a ghost that often appears in the form of an animal. Most people who had close encounters reported that they first heard or detected the rolling calves by their loud chiming and rather unnerving clanking noise. This familiar sound was made by the long chain that they dragged along behind them. They have large red eyes like a dragon's. Some even said that they could breathe fire through their mouths. Some said that the rolling calves were the spirits of evil butchers who had been cruel and mean when they were alive. The best way, they said, to get away from these monstrous beasts was to drop various things on the ground. This funny fun-filled storybook was written in an excitingly unique manner. It is about Essie's kids on the island of Jamaica and their unusual encounter with a rolling calf. This is the first of a ten part series. Along with the ability of this black and white picture-book to be used as a coloring-book, there is also a drawing/note pad at the end of each book that allows the reader to draw or demonstrate their own personal illustrations of the story after completing the book. Finally, these books also end uniquely always with a strong moral story. |
