Why Kid’s Books Matter
Of all the books people read, it’s children’s books that will leave the most lasting impression. This longevity can be attributed to the pleasant associations children have of sitting on their parents’ or grandparents’ laps listening to the singsong verses of exotic tales of mystery and principle.

Why Rhyme?
The combination of musical alliteration and constant repetition deepens the emotional and psychological impact as well as long-term memory recognition. Children’s books are meant to be read to and by children over and over delivering a trio of educational, cultural, and communication skills through the clever use of language, art, and storytelling.

Available in Print and eBook Formats?
Children’s books should not be one-dimensional flat constructs, but rather the engagement of multiple senses, visual, auditory, and emotional, combining to enhance, entertain, educate, and delight.
The sound of a parent or grandparent rhythmically bringing a tale to life is an association children will cherish for a lifetime. But not all parents or grandparents have the knack of lively presentation, and there comes a time when children want to do things themselves; to fill that void we’ve created print and digital ebook versions that can be played on an iPad or iPhone.

Audio Enhanced
Many of the ZaZa Books will be enhanced with a special audio file delivered by a professional voice actor so that children get the full experience of expert storytelling even if their parents are busy making dinner or doing chores.

The Ninth Inning
We are all familiar with the classic tale of Casey at the Bat but that story was written a long time ago. I felt it was time for a new story about the best sport there is, baseball. Baseball is unlike any other game, it requires great individual skill, as well as practiced team co-ordination. In terms of life lessons, baseball has a lot to offer children. The Ninth Inning is a humorous take on the game with a nifty rhyme. I hope you like it.

Too much of even a good thing can do harm. It also teaches children to be aware of con artists, whose sales pitches might not be what they seem.
