After many years of doodling and writing on everything, I have finally put my words and drawings together in two books for kids.
BOTH BOOK ARE AVAILABLE NOW ON AMAZON AND OTHER ONLINE AND OFFLINE BOOKSTORES!

“Uncle Ollies Alphabet Follies” is a humorous take on children’s ABC books. It is written as poetry and illustrated by me.
Uncle Ollie, an eccentric Aussie naturalist, loves animals, alphabets, and rhyming. He takes us through the alphabet, telling us about interesting animals whose name begins with each letter in a simple rhyme. The rhymes are silly; but the facts are true.
This book is not intended for very young children. It will be best appreciated by teens, young adults and adults. Uncle Ollie’s language is a little rough from time to time (not as rough as TV but…).



ALSO AVAILABLE NOW:
Uncle Ollie Tells Short Tales:
A collection of poems and short stories about kids adventures in everyday life.

From a small Kingdom in China…to a corner bar in Queens, NY, to the land of Dinosaurs…
so many adventures.

I Highly enjoyed it. | Such a fun book! I was drawn to it by the warm and cuddly drawings which match the words so well! Uncle Ollie is the best kind of teacher for kids–knowing, funny, and just a little bit sassy!Thank you, author/artist Dugg Smith! |
