Xerus Won't Allow It — Richard Hefter

Smart moms know how kids' minds grow upon sweet pickles!

X-Rating Xerus (ze' rus) is the official town censor. Her countless sermons and signs tell folks what they must not do. She takes delight in putting her X-mark on all those things she says are not allowed. A xerus is a prairie squirrel.

Sweet Pickles is a series of 40 classic children's books based on 26 animal characters living in the town of Sweet Pickles. There's one character for each letter of the alphabet and each has an exaggerated human personality trait. One-by-one, the characters finds themselves faced with one of life's common pickles, but just because a pickle is a problem doesn't mean it can't be handled! The life lessons that come out of each character's pickle impart basic values, ethics and social skills to children.

The original Sweet Pickles book series has been digitally remastered into enhanced ebooks with vibrant artwork, and a soundtrack of award-winning animation voice actors, narrators, and story-based sound effects.

The new enhanced ebooks series creates an entertaining and engaging experience for children, while being an educational reading tool for parents and the whole family.
