These stories are sure to open your "mind's eye" and engulf your senses of things unseen...and unknown. Imagination is a wonderful thing, and I encourage you to let yours loose and create pockets of wonder or places of escape: happy places in the light of day, or as in these stories, on the slightly darker side.

Hi. My name is Ted, but all the children in the area call me "Pop Pop". I am a storyteller and songwriter, and have included two of my favorite stories in this audiobook. "Pop Pop's Pond" and "Russ the Hippopotamus" are two fun and educational stories, both inspired by my grandchildren. I hope you get as much enjoyment and entertainment from listening to this book as I have had in creating it.
