Camper's New Friend

By Thomas Hood

'Camper's New Friend', written by Thomas Hood, is the first book offered from his series of children's books titled 'Life on Robinson's Pond'. Illustrations by M. Marie Williams. The setting for the stories is Robinson's Pond, based on the beautiful pond that Thomas' uncle, artist Rex Robinson dug on his farm in western Kentucky when Thomas was a youth. Thomas' main character, Camper, is a precocious little turtle that loves life, adventure and of course, his many colorful friends that also call Robinson's Pond their home. There is never a dull day in the pond for these friends, as they are constantly getting themselves into and out of interesting situations. Each story in the series includes one or two 'life-lessons' that the author believes every child should learn as they grow into thoughtful, quality adults. 'Camper's New Friend' touches on the destructive effects of being selfish and of telling non-truths. Thomas' characters come to life with the help of M. Marie William's creative and colorful illustrations. Williams has a unique gift of wonderfully capturing each character's personality and 'heart' within her artwork. 'Camper's New Friend' is a charming story that is sure to become a requested favorite of young readers everywhere. Look for the release of Thomas' second book from the 'Life on Robinson's Pond' series, titled 'Bobber's Yellow Submarine' - coming soon
