Weighing just a bit over four pounds at birth, we were told that Braxten might be a bit slower to develop than children with a more normal birth weight. We wondered and worried about that for a few months, but as the first couple of years passed and we got the opportunity to watch her grow, we realized the fears were ungrounded. We are so proud and so lucky to have the remarkable little girl that we have come to call… ... Read more

I was told
I was told to read this story. Told it would be good and warm and touching. Told that I would feel the worry, the hope and the tingle of goodness. I was told that I would like it for sure.

I was told right, my heart is still warm.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story by E. Don Harpe. It won't be the last one I read by him, I can tell you that much. If you don't read this one folks, its your loss.

And a Proud Grandfather He Is
Slugger by E. Don Harpe

Look out world says E. Don Harpe grandfather of Braxy who has the insight to think his little granddaughter is going to be world famous someday as a baseball player or whatever she may choose to do in her life.

Born prematurely and at only four pounds, the whole family catered to Braxton from the moment she was born and watched every movement of her until they could see for themselves that she was perfectly healthy and strong.

Then at age six, it took quite a bit of coaxing to get her on the T-ball field but once she realized she could have fun, she practiced every day with her mother and grandparents as well as by herself by throwing the ball up and hitting it with her bat. She earned the nickname "Slugger" after she hit the ball thrown by the coach almost to the fence and the ran around the bases to make it the best hit of the season, and of course to the cheers of a very proud grandpa.

Don Harpe is one of the best writers I have ever read and I only wish that he could enjoy success in his lifetime as a world reknown author, for I am sure the world one day will know.

He has talent that only a writer that is gifted can develop. Whatever he decides to write on keeps the reader enthralled to the end. This is a great story for inspiration to the child just entering something that is new to them and involves discipline and hard work.

Go! "Slugger" Go!

'Slugger' is a winner!
One cannot help but fall in love with this precious, feisty little tomcat with the darling sobriquit, and one cannot help but be set ablaze by the glowing pride burning so passionately in the heart of her grandfather.

It's not hard to understand why E. Don Harpe has so many stories posted in the Amazon Shorts program (he has quite a few hiding elsewhere, too); the man can weave a good yarn!

In this, his latest tale, he teaches his grand-daughter - a grand-chip off the old grand-block - the thrill and sense of accomplishment that comes first through participation, and then competition.

Most stories like this start out strong, then inevitably devolve rather awkwardly into contrivance and sugar-coated sentimentality too sweet and fluffy to digest.Not only does E. Don deftly avoid these pitfalls, he has put words to a memory we can all share; a memory that gains speed and emotional power as it develops.

A pure joy!E. Don has me convinced; one day little Braxten is going to have the world by the tail.

Product Description
Arthur Scott Bailey (1877-1949) was author of more than forty children's books. Bailey attended St. Albans Academy and graduated in 1896, in a class of only eleven other students. He then went on to the University of Vermont in Burlington, Vermont, where he became involved in a fraternal organization, Sigma Phi. However, he left UVM in 1901 and transferred to Harvard, where he earned his bachelor's degree. In 1904 he travelled to New York City and became an editor for various publishers. Which publishers these were is unknown, with the exception of the Macaulay Company, where he was working in early 1915. Among his most famous works are: Sleepy-Time Tales: The Tale of Frisky Squirrel (1915), Sleepy-Time Tales: The Tale of Peter Mink (1916), Tuck-me-in Tales: The Tale of Jasper Jay (1917), Tuck-me-in Tales: The Tale of Buster Bumblebee (1918), Slumber-Town Tales: The Tale of Henrietta Hen (1921) and Slumber-Town Tales: The Tale of Turkey Proudfoot (1921).
