Mr. Flea Cover
TAMPA, FL – As children we are blind to the differences of race, color and religion. As we age and become adults, we begin to see through different eyes, hear through different ears, and speak in different tongues. We can all help to make the world we live in better. Our neighbors, be it across the street or across the ocean, are no different than us. We are all human beings struggling for a similar purpose. We can change the way we see the world, and it begins with our children.
Mr. Flea’s Not So Small Adventures, the first book in the series, entertains and teaches us the world we live in is filled with the amazing and wonderful things nature provides. The world is teeming with life’s creatures, each one of them individually distinct, yet magnificent and precious as the next, and equally noble.
So sit...and listen to Mr. Flea tell an eager young audience the story of his unanticipated and awesome expedition onboard his friend Charlie Chaplin, a Yorkshire terrier, to the mysterious continent of Africa. There, he sets off on an amazing safari and meets a new African friend by the name of Kuo Kuo. And, as Mr. Flea tells it, no matter how different someone may be from you, you can still be friends.
