Milo's Friends in the Dark

MILO'S FRIENDS IN THE DARK is the first in a series of children's books featuring the character of Milo, an adventurous, bespectacled, freckle-faced little boy who helps children stretch their imaginations & conquer childhood fears. The fearsome creatures that many children imagine hiding in closets & under beds can make bedtime a traumatic event for both children & parents. Appropriate for ages 3-8, MILO'S FRIENDS IN THE DARK was written as a way to neutralize those fears. On a lighthearted tour of the dark corners of his house, Milo introduces an assemblage of helpful & friendly imaginary creatures who live & work in the shadows. Rich Koslowski's appealing, cartoon-like illustrations are non-threatening & "child friendly." From the Gores who keep the cellar neat to the Squeaks who plug leaky holes in the attic, these characters give children a more positive way to focus their fertile imaginations. Three additional Milo adventures are scheduled for future release: MILO'S TRIP TO THE MUSEUM WITH GRANDPA, MILO PICKS A PET, & MILO'S SUPER HEROES. To order: Milo Productions, Inc. 7209 W.
