Summary: A warm and 'tenderhearted' story of gladness and adventure abound in this amazingly crafted, splendidly illustrated story about a boy and his dinosaur and SO much more. We're talking about puppies and parrots and rabbits and chicks; frogs and dogs and pollywogs, but we shouldn't say anymore...surprises and all.

In keeping with the "BED" theme, of his first book, Stevie Tenderheart My Favorite Place to Be...(A Bedtime Story) where Stevie loves his bed SO much, he wishes he could take it everywhere he goes, in this story, Stevie FILLS his bed instead, with ALL of his favorite things. (If you can imagine.) It's a hilarious bedtime story with calming twists and turns that both parents and kids adore. The animals and their expressions are just too adorable to miss.

This is a special book meant to be read ONLY at bedtime. (It's a bonding thing.)

Author Insights:
The author uses a little misdirection (or leg-pulling) in his books, which is his nature, coming from a comic strip background. He feels this adds to the flavor and the fun of his bedtime stories immensely. While Stevie books are fun to read or listen to, his every word falling on sweet innocent ears, he also has a lot of fun writing them in verse. While he painstakingly auditions every word, not all of them make the final cut. This is a discipline he cultivated during the five years his Stevie Tenderheart Comic Strip was published in newspapers. Those panels are very small so the words must be very precise.

Nowadays, there are no looming deadlines. No pressure. Words, they come and go. It's the arrangement of 'words' that is the secret sauce. It's a very pure process. He believes his tongue-in-cheek writing style resonates with children's funny bones-but especially at bedtime-his style speaks directly to the kids.

Your kids will love their Stevie books-Ranger Promise.
