The Whizpigs and Their Wild Adventures: Bedtime Stories

by Richard V Crume

Overview

Everyone of all ages will enjoy these bedtime stories about the Whizpigs and their neighbors in Whizpig Land, including Durango the Fire-Breathing Dragon, Gloria the Go-Go-Glo-Worm, Grumbly the Giant Wolfhound, Gussy the Grinning Grasshopper, King Tutankhamen Turtle, Slurpy the Crooked Crocodile, and Whizzy the Whizard. You'll take a ride down Penny Lane in the Whizmobile, a funny looking contraption resembling a vacuum cleaner on wheels, and you'll marvel at how Mo and Blo, the giant spotted Andean spiders, spin the most beautiful webs. As you read these stories, be prepared to participate in the Whizpig olympics, celebrate marshmallow day, munch on a Whiz-Cheez sandwich, and traverse the Ancient Land of Pig-Eating Dinosaurs, where the dinosaurs are not so bad after all. This literary work includes a poem by Edgar-Allen P. Whizpig and an introduction to the Whizpig dictionary by Wordsworth P. Whizpig. When the Winged Dalmatian visits your bedroom in the middle of the night, hold on tight because you are about to be transported way up into the sky and back down again, landing in the most enchanting place in the world-the Land of Whizpigs!

About the Author

Richard Crume is an engineer and author with nearly 100 professional publications and workshops covering a wide variety of topics in the fields of public health, the environment, and climate change. His Whizpig stories are inspired by the tales his father used to tell at bedtime, a cherished memory of growing up back in the 1950s. According to Richard, "My father knew that bedtime can be challenging for young, spirited children and their parents, but his stories gave us something to look forward to, to fall asleep to." In many ways, life was simpler back then-there were no video games and no social media-and there were more opportunities for parents and children to spend time together reading books and telling stories. Richard hopes these tales about the lovable Whizpigs will bring joy and comfort to the hearts of children while, perhaps, helping revive the art of storytelling.
