Readers of the popular Leven Thumps series, wanting the inside scoop on Leven’s cute and furry sidekick, can now read Clover’s insights and reaction to Sycophant training in Professor Winsnicker’s Book of Proper Etiquette for Well-Mannered Sycophants (Shadow Mountain, hardcover, $12.95).
Clover’s challenges relate to our own as readers learn about:
• Grooming and robe maintenance
• Staying invisible and out of the way
• Metal and shiny objects: What not to touch
• Keeping secrets and falling in love
Though at times pompous and conceited, Professor Winsnicker offers never-before-revealed secrets about the land of Foo, the place that nurtures hope, imagination, and dreams. Responding to his teacher’s counsel, Clover’s thoughtful and humorous prose will have readers laughing out loud as they learn interesting factoids such as why Leven has a silver streak in his dark hair.
Fate was kind to drop this journal into Obert Skye’s lap, the author of the successful Leven Thump series. This interactive book includes hidden clues about Foo and future books, features animated characters by flipping the pages, as well as dozens of illustrations and doodles from Clover himself.
Author Obert Skye will embark on a national book tour in the Spring of 2007 promoting literacy, and sharing his “3 Secrets of Foo.” For more information on the new Professor Winsnicker’s book, Obert Skye or the Imagination Tour, please visit LevenThumps.com and ShadowMountain.com.
