Willy the Whale: Short Stories, Games, and Jokes
by Uncle Amon

Willy the Whale: Short Stories, Games, and Jokes is a fun children’s book. It’s an ideal piece for young kids learning to read. Aside from being a good read, the book also teaches the young reader some life lessons.

Willy the Whale is a story of little Willy, the humpback whale. At a young age, he starts to learn about himself, his surroundings, and life in the ocean. Willy wonders about his fins and tail, and soon he discovers their purpose. As he learns to use these parts of his body, Willy is delighted to explore his surroundings. He swims around and deeper into the water.

Follow the adventures of little Willy and learn with him. You will surely enjoy discovering things with him and his friends.

The Book and the Author

Willy the Whale is not only a bedtime storybook. Rather, it’s an activity and fun read for beginning readers. Aside from the short stories, young readers get to engage in a few games and enjoy the jokes. Even kids not able to read yet may enjoy listening to the stories of the young humpback whale.

The stories in the book are short enough. They’re within the attention span of a three-year-old child. I commend Uncle Amon’s way of storytelling. He makes sure to engage the young reader from beginning to end. Besides the stories, the games and jokes surely captivate them. And, although the book has few illustrations, the little visuals are bright and cute.

There are at least two things I like in Willy the Whale. First, I appreciate Uncle Amon for injecting moral values and important lessons into the stories. And, second, the minimal illustrations allows the reader to use their imagination. Thus, giving them room for, or even honing, their creativity.

Overall, I give Willy the Whale: Short Stories, Games, and Jokes a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. I highly recommend this book to parents and guardians with children 3 – 10 years old. This is an ideal gift for Christmas, birthdays, and other occasions.

He was born and raised to Finnish parents who are Evangelical Lutheran Church adherents. Although he was one of those individuals who doubted the teachings of his religion. He expressed that his country’s religion has... “... nothing to do with deep spirituality and internal change but has everything to do with covert materialism and sh...

Oracle of Helinthia by M.J.Pankey The Oracle of Helinthia is the sequel to the first Helinthia novel. In this book, political tensions grip the decision-makers, sowing doubts and mistrust among them. However, one character remains steadfast and focused on his mission to lead his people and guide them out of their current predicament. The story of the Oracle of Helinthia picks up where the first installment left off. G sends a brief message to Lithaneva stating, "We found it." This message sets the stage for the overthrow of the current anax.

Most of the island's citizens are loyal to Helinthia, their protector. Mortals of various ranks from neighboring territories come together to devise their plans, but they harbor doubts and mistrust toward one another—a typical ego-driven attitude! The anax's daughter has her own ambitions as w...
