    About this ebook

    Christmas AwayThe critters were not too sure about Grandma Hatties Holiday plans. Yes, a cruise was always fun but it was Christmas!
    The critters were chattering among themselves! Estes squawked, WHERE ARE WE GOING? Marr-Lee blurted out, FOR HOW LONG? Oddie wanted to know, HAVE I BEEN THERE BEFORE? Duckie asked, HOW ARE WE GETTING THERE?
    Tallulah was the most unsure of the five critters. She had so many questions for Granny. She started to cry, BUTBUT WILL SANTA KNOW WHERE WE ARE?

    PENELOPE A RILEY is the author and illustrator of the Duckie Dan Adventure Books. Her latest is Christmas Away. Through her words and illustrations she tells the readers it is alright to not be sure of something. Try something new but keep some of the old traditions, too. Having those you love around you is the most important part of the celebration.
    The Duckie Dan Adventure Books deliver a positive moral. She has authored two previous books in this series, Duck Dan the Traveling Man and Marr-Lee the Homesick Moose.

      All I Want For Christmas

      Dec 16, 2020

      IT was more than an icicle. More like an icy boulder, oversized and murkily white, faceted like a cartoon jewel and, shortly, dripping. It had lurked beneath a low stone bridge at the bottom of the wood, where sycamore thickets bald for winter gave w
