One day the animals at the zoo were tired of all the people just looking at them, so they decided to have an animal concert. They wrote the music and song on leaves, selected the animals to participate in the concert and others helped produce it. The Giraffe sang the High Notes and the canary had the melody. The penguins already had on their costumes, but they couldn't participate because there was no ice for them to skate on. They were disappointed.

From miles around they come to hear the amazing singing giraffe - loved and admired by everyone. But when a sudden illness strikes, the giraffe is left with no voice! Soon they stop coming to hear him sing, and it seems like all hope is lost. Until one night he hears a sound and decides to follow it... and what happens next will change everything!

After Pete had built his airship, the "Hopping Hollyhock" he proposed to travel to the North Pole, and of course Polly joined him. The ship was manned by 17 green monkeys who wore white aprons (but had no hats). By accident, Pete aimed the Hopping Hollyhock the wrong way, so as they crossed the equator, Polly made hats for the monkeys. After the monkeys were comfortably hatted, they continued to the South Pole where they had many adventures.

About the Book I Hear Smoke! is a blistering recount of how two families collide (the Halfacre’s and the Toogood’s) as they survive the underbelly of the rural south from the 1930s through 1975. The multi-generational saga is riddled with humor, secrets, hardships, gut-wrenching loss, and self-acceptance. The historical references of the period’s pop culture and winding path of humorous, cleverly written short story-like chapters will keep readers spellbound from start to finish. I Hear Smoke! is an explicit reminder to some readers of positive and not so positive nostalgia from their childhood. About the Author Dr. Sherry A.
