The Music Man

The Workshop

B.C. Likely has always been a huge fan of Dr. Seuss, so it is no surprise that she loves to create her stories in rhyme.  The author originally created this tale more than a decade ago, as a Christmas gift for her three children.  Her children are represented in the characters and the toys in the story are items that could at one time be found in her home, except, of course, the chess set.   Bonnie and team are working on a second adventure for Smedley and her friends.
