Mr. Knutsen Makes A Plan

While writing these childrens books I mixed fact with fiction, reality with fantasy, and the will to overcome near-impossible problems with creative solutions. Since children need positive encouragement, optimism, hope, and, most of all - love, Ive created stories using animals - who are true to their particular nature. I chose animals which children can both relate to and understand by their own unique behaviors, but sometimes with a little humor and a few unexpected happenings. Positive reading for positive readers!


This second volume of Wonderful Stories from Skog Forest is about a troublesome squirrel named Mr. KNutsen, and his band of destructive and thieving squirrel friends - and their adversary, Mr. Teddy, the homeowner, who is trying to put an end to their antics. It's a very comical tale that most people can relate to especially if they have had problems with these cunning and daring rodents. This is when Mr. Teddy's great-grandson, Brandon, who can talk to animals, makes his first real appearance.He tries to keep the peace, but then realizes that animals do what animals do and his efforts fall on somewhat deaf ears. Although the squirrels are irritating, the tale is funny and the conversations between Brandon and the squirrels and the other animals are in depth and interesting.
