The Little Jeep Who Couldn't Beep was inspired by the M151A2 Army jeep that my veteran husband is restoring. I decided to give the jeep the name Marty M.U.T.T. as Army jeeps are actually referred to as a M.U.T.T., which stands for Military Utility Tactical Truck. Marty M.U.T.T. was once a mighty military jeep who carried soldiers around the country of Vietnam, but after all his hard work in the Army, he was banged up, dusty and broken. As happened with many other army jeeps, he was cut up and thrown aside to rust. Marty M.U.T.T. thought everyone had forgotten about him as he ended up alone in a cold, dark shed. He had tears coming from his headlights and was so sad that he couldn't even beep his horn! Find out what happens to Marty one ordinary day when someone rescued him. A delightful story of restoration that gives hope to young and old alike! The Little Jeep Who Couldn't Beep was inspired by the real-life story of Sgt. Stephen Williams who served in Vietnam in 1969-70. Note: Steve's memoir, Nine Pairs of Boots in Vietnam was published in November of 2020.

"Beep Beep Sheep in a jeep on a hill that s steep.""Sheep in a Jeep" is well-loved by the preschool and early-reader sets for its slapstick story of five sheep (in a jeep) and silly sound effects especially when the jeep goes splash and thud in the mud Nancy Shaw s rollicking rhymes are Seuss-snappy, and Margot Apple s appealing pencil illustrations are expressive and hilarious. Shear delight. Don t miss Shaw and Apple s other sheep-heaped titles: "Sheep in a Shop," "Sheep on a Ship," "Sheep Out to Eat," "Sheep Trick or Treat," "Sheep Blast Off," and "Sheep Take a Hike." "

Honk Honk! Beep Beep! Father and child rise early for a trip to watch the sunrise on the mountaintop. Along the way they meet many friendly faces, some headed the same direction, and others in their own vehicles-big rigs, bulldozers and trains--with their own places to go and things to do. Nothing beats the start of a brand new day, especially when there are many vehicles to spot along the way. With a simple, playful text and boldly colored, toy-like illustrations, Daniel Kirk captures the fun of a special drive.

The sensational New York Times bestseller The Mill River Recluse reminds us that friendship, family, and love can come from the most unexpected places. Perfect for fans of Maeve Binchy. From the outside, Mill River looks like any sleepy little Vermont town where everyone knows everyone and people never need to lock their doors. There are newcomers for whom this appeals, from police officer Kyle Hansen and his daughter Rowen, who are starting over after heartache, to Claudia Simon, the schoolteacher who is determined to reinvent herself. But on closer inspection, there are those in Mill River—including a stealthy arsonist, a covetous nurse, and a pilfering priest—who have things they wish to hide. None more than the widow Mary McAllister, who for the past sixty years has secluded herself in her marble mansion overlooking the town. Most of the residents have never even seen the peculiar woman. Only the priest, Father O’Brien, knows the deep secrets that keep Mary isolated—and that, once revealed, will forever change the community.
