The Great Sled Race
Ages 7 to adult
The Great Sled Race
Winner of a Fall 2000 Parents' Choice Award
Review:
Mike Anderson relates peppery tales that "have some semblance
of truth," as he combines the everyday with the unlikely,
inspired by his childhood in a small Illinois farming community
with his best pal, Denny. In conversational, professional storytelleer's
cadence, anderson communicates a wealth of vivid, Down Home
imagery: "...genuine imitation Davy Crockett hats,"
25-cent movies, Schwinn bicycles, October moons, crawdad fishing
next to a graveyard, using string, a safety pin and bacon; a
favorite bike path through a cornfield that was "like a
green hallway" in the summer and a magical place of "corn
ghosts" when the fog rolled in.

The Phantom Teacher
Ages 7 and up
The Phantom Teacher
by Mike Anderson
School
is tough!
Who knew it was against the rules to flush a pencil or pour
milk on someone? Who knew a principal would get really bent
out of shape about having his hat knocked off by a snowball?
Who knew a teacher's voice could suddenly appear out of nowhere
on Halloween? Stinky, Amy, Carrie and Mike learn all these lessons
in this outstanding children's chapter book.
