The Party: BluBerrie Books

By James O. Youngcliff

If you enjoy storytelling then BluBerrie's illustrated and fun filled chapter adventures places young minds on a rollercoaster ride path to growing, sharing, responsibility, and imagination.

BluBerrie is a mischievous little turtle that gets into a lot of fun situations and hilarious predicaments.  However, in almost every event, she helps the young listeners to love the characters as they go through many adventures that require choices; some good, some not.

In "The Party," we also discover, how far BluBerrie goes to upturn the lives of these young kids by being a member of their family of friends.  Hopping and jumping in and out of extraordinary and seemingly impossible thought provoking challenges, she sets the stage for the listener's imagination to take off and fill in the gaps.    

The surprise ending will leave the young listeners laughing and wanting more BluBerrie stories. Start owning The BluBerrie Series today with "The Party."  And also look for our next adventure, "BluBerrie: The Pond".

A Great Gift for Storytellers and Their Family

BluBerrie chapter books are meant to be read aloud.  Scattered throughout, one will find easily highlighted breaks to allow for questions, responses and interaction from the listeners.  The reader is encouraged to add their own breaks and comments to motivate the young listeners to participate.  Here's a tip the author uses: "I stop reading and then ask a question, 'Does anyone care to find out what happens next?'"  

Have fun reading aloud with the new BluBerrie Series of Children's Books.

James O. Youngcliff

This is James O. Youngcliff's premier work for the young.  He loves telling BluBerrie stories to his grandchildren, and when they were younger, to his own children as well.  "It's fun to see the young faces in front of me, enjoying, listening to a real fun story." Many years and stories have passed by and so, the author has decided now to put them down on paper. "It's important to me that these books are read a loud to the young listeners... It wasn't till much later that I realized how important it was in their lives." "So, I hope that I can provide some help for you with these pages and enjoy some precious moments with your children..." When he's not writing down BluBerrie stories, he oil paints, draws and exhibits in art galleries throughout Florida. He is currently working on another book in the series,  BluBerrie: The Pond is finished and will publish thi year.

Disclaimer

WE LIKE TO TAKE THIS opportunity to first thank you for considering reading and purchasing this book. 

Also, we what to bring your attention to a very interesting discovery we made years past, when our kids were small. 

On our many family outings, we went for a visit to a local flea market.  There, our kids discovered a vendor who was selling small turtles.  Of course, they fell in love with those cute little, tiny turtles.  Moreover, they wanted them sooo badly that it was pretty heart breaking not to get them!

Fortunately, for us, our budget would not permit the purchase of those cute reptiles.  All that our kids would talk about was buying and taking care of those cute, tiny pets.  They carried on for many days there after.  It was then that the "idea of BluBerrie" was born.

We began telling them stories of the many adventures of this tiny, cute turtle we called, BluBerrie in order to relieve their disappointment.  It was, for them, a wonderful alternative.

Nevertheless, back in 1970, a report came out that those cute, small and tiny turtles could cause Salmonella, bacteria that cause a human disease called salmonellosis; and soon after it became illegal to buy small turtles. 

We would like to warn anyone thinking of buying a pet turtle to check into it before doing so.

It is with fond hope that these fictional BluBerrie stories will provide an alternative for the real thing and NOT an endorsement for the suitability of owning turtles as a pet.

Chapter One

The Story Starts Right Now

THIS IS NOT A STORY that a grandfather would tell his grandkids before bedtime or on a long road trip.  Or even on a rainy gray day, or better still, after a fun, sunny, bright, beach ball afternoon. Nope. No way – it is a story told day by day, grows and grows, never begins the same.  Nor does it end where you did or did not want it to. You cannot go back to a favorite part, or ask to have it repeated since there are no starts to go back to; there is so much to tell, that no one can tell it the same each time.

So, do you still want to listen to what happened to your grandfather when he was your age? 

Please do not say, 'NO' now,
