Press Information10 September 2001 "Harry
Potter" for the Younger Set Los Angeles, CA - While their parents and older siblings are engaged by "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings," kids four to eight years old can explore the family-friendly fantasy world of Scott E. Sutton's "The Family of Ree." "The Family of Ree" welcomes children to a colorful universe of wizards, dragons, talking trees and a menagerie of whimsical creatures created by popular southern Californian author Scott E. Sutton. "The Family of Ree stories combine my two favorite influences: Dr. Seuss and J. R. R. Tolkien," said Sutton. The stories revolve around the adventures of an apprentice wizard-a curious green "Erf" named Jeeter. Sutton's humorous rhyme and infectious enthusiasm easily engage the imaginations of younger readers, while he thoughtfully avoids using the "evil-and potentially frightening-villains" appropriate to fantasy tales for older kids and adults. Each story in the Ree series (there will be six books when complete) helps children learn a specific common-sense value. The moral of "The Family of Ree" is "Take care of your environment." The author's vivid illustrations and stories told in rhyme make "The Family of Ree" a delight to read aloud and a wonderful gift for children. "The Family of Ree"is available from children's booksellers, on the web at www.actionpublishing.com or direct from the publisher at (800) 644-2665. Scott Sutton lives, writes, surfs and paints in southern California, where he works hard at his job of "being a professional kid" by speaking with 10,000 young students each year about the joys of using art and imagination to learn. His previous books have sold more than 100,000 copies. -END- "The Family of Ree" ($14.95, 56 pages, hardcover, ISBN 1-888045-12-4) |
