Children's Books...

   I am at the laptop everyday working on my manuscript for a children’s book. The keys are popping at a steady rhythm and I have a cigar perched at hand; lusty swirls of truculent smoke shaped like gargoyles and ghosts fade away. And I come up with ideas for many other Children’s books. Not wanting to be anymore distracted from my current project, I jot down some notes and a title for the new inspirations. Some are keepers others are rejected.


Here are some of my rejected title ideas for Children’s books-

(2) Vegetables Are Death!

(3) Smell This!

(4) Sushi Jewelry: Making Mom An Earring With A Fish Hook And A Raw Oyster

(5) Parasites and Pajamas

(6) Gay-dar Alert! 

(7) The Complete Jane Austen With Emoticons

(8) Mom vs. Dad, the Cialis Monster

(9) The Rules for Table Top Scab Hockey
