Best Summer Ever!

By Marshall Mike Crawford

Bedtime Stories for Sweet Dreams: Best Summer Ever is an outgrowth of the author's first book, "Jackson City Orphans: Mike Wakes Up " Just as Jackson City Orphans captured the humor and drama of the 1974 sitcom, "Good Times" with a "Little Rascals" plot, Best Summer Ever animates the story line with talking animals, beautiful illustrations, and funny dialog. It also illustrates the need for our children to learn to play again in the richness of the great outdoors.

The Best Summer Ever follows the adventures of little Mike as he awkwardly adventures from one hilarious event to another. It is the first in a series of stories about the early years of children growing up. The story vividly displays how children can make the best of bad situations and learn something good. Best Summer Ever is a great learning tool for kids today that inspires them to read and explore nature. The stories are based on actual events.

Although the Ashford kids experienced difficult times, they overcame the odds against them to become very successful. The main character, little Mike, will intrigue you to tears and laughter with his mischievous ways, yet brilliance, and maturity. You will be enamored by his shy demeanor that some interpreted as a deficiency and smile as little Mike shows amazing insight and thinking about life.
