picture book for ages pre-k to second grade,
Zachary Cooks Up Some Fun
tells how Zachary, a Texas prairie dog,
saves his town from two no-good strangers.
Beautifully illustrated by Dana Kleiman
Garfinkel, this book will thrill young
children as they learn about the bravery and
intelligence of Zachary. A recipe for

reader understand that to make a friend one
must be a friend.

REVIEWS
"Books
read by many of us as children in post World War II
America carried a common theme of instruction. Robert
Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verse,
fairy tales by various authors, and A. A. Milne's
Winnie the Pooh offered common messages. Fairy tales
taught a child caution. Other books taught tolerance and
kindness, all the while capturing the innocence of
childhood. Zachary Cooks up Some Fun falls within
this realm."
