I have a 4 year old daughter named Keavy-Rei. We accidentally found "The Adventures of Winky and Blinky"
at our local Goodwill. It was inside of another book. We noticed on the back that it is going to be a series of
books. We were wondering when the second book will be out or where can we find it? She is going to be
taking the book to her school tomorrow so that maybe her teacher will read it to her class.
It is a wonderful book. Thank you so much for writing it!!!

Recently, a Mother told me how much her 3 year old son, Quentin, enjoyed the DVD.
He asked his Mother to play the DVD several times by saying, "again," "again," "again."
He was really into the action. He would act out the different scenes and would laugh along
with the cats. He would pretend to be frightened when Uncle Jumbo jumped out of the bushes.
He pointed at the book and then at the TV making the connection that they were the same.
His favorite DVD was Tom and Jerry and now it is the Adventures of Winky and Blinky.

Another teacher read it to a class of over 30 students, (3-5 year olds), and said, the Students didn't make
a peep during the entire reading and afterward they all talked about who their favorite cat was.

A preschool teacher played the DVD for her class. After an enthusiastic outburst the Principal asked what
was going on. After viewing the Book, the DVD, and CD, she stated that she wanted the entire Series.

"A Good Teaching Tool."

Recently I was told about a 3 year old boy that kept asking his Mother to play the DVD over and over again,
he would say, "again, again, again." After the third time he pointed to the book and pointed to the TV.
Then he started acting out the different parts of the story and would laugh when he heard the laughter on the DVD.
His favorite DVD was Tom and Jerry and now his favorite DVD is Winky and Blinky.
"Sounds like he was having fun."

Last year for Christmas, I sent your book to my two great nephews, 1 and 3 years old.
The three year old has memorized the story and tells it to the Little one all the time.
He has associated family and friends with the characters and of course him and his brother with Winky and Blinky.
I just pulled up your web site to see if you had published anymore. Please let me know when you do, as I would
love to send my great nephews more books. Attached is my favorite girl. She was a feral born under the pool
deck at Banana Bay in Marathon about 7 years ago.

Animal Advocate
An Animal Advocate in Deland is Selling the Book, DVD and CD to raise money to help Abandoned Animals.

A Volunteer for the Feral Cat Society received a copy from a friend and she wrote a letter about how she really loved it and was looking forward to more stories.

Local Library
The Person in charge of the Children's Reading section called to say that she "loved the DVD and that it was very well done."
Thank you.

Boston Library
In the Boston Library's Register it showed that the donated book was checked out within the first two hours of being on the shelf.

I called the Printer to order envelopes and one of the Employees who read the book stated, “I loved it and now I want to get a cat.”
Thank you for both.

“I wish I had an Uncle Jumbo!”
A Man who said that he didn't like cats, read the book and was moved by the story. He said, “I wish I had an Uncle Jumbo!” He went on
to talk about his childhood and the problems he had with some bullies at school. It was amazing, that after reading this story, how he was able
to open up and speak about his experiences with the bullies. He sent the book to his Granddaughter for Christmas.
