The Great Kettles: A Tale of Time

What a wonderful way to start a child on the path of imagination. Perhaps the best thing about *The Great Kettles* is that, though the story is fun and fanciful, it's not necessary. It's so much more rewarding to let a child look at the illustrations and create his or her own story. And not only children--I've found great inspiration in the colorful and detailed illustrations that grace every page. Dean Morrissey's books should be on every child's bedside table.

"The Great Kettles" has become one of my all time favorite books. The story is compelling for adults and children. The illustrations are so realistic, rich and engrossing that I wish I could have some of them as framed posters in my home. I love the book so much I am giving it to several friends, young and not so young as gifts this holiday season.

"The Great Kettles" is a wonderful story for children of all ages. Mr Morrissey is a very talented artist as well as a gifted story teller. His stories aren't violent or evil in any way. Joey gets himself into another predicament and is again helped by everyones favorite fantasy figures. Such as Father Time, Mother Nature, and once again his old friend the Sandman, among others. The paintings included in this story are every bit as wonderful as those in Morrisseys first book, this is a perfect follow up to that book, "Ship of Dreams". I am eagerly awaiting the next story in this series. Where will he take us next?
