Meet the Skwerdlock
When Trish was very little, she got very sick. To make her feel better, Trish's dad sang her a silly song about a made up beast called the Skwerdlock. However, when the song was finished, Trish could see the Skwerdlock standing right there!
Meet the Skwerdlock introduces us to the Skwerdlock himself! As Trish shares the story of how the Skwerdlock came to be, we learn about how the Skwerdlock came into existence and his many talents. The writing is done as a child telling a story verbally, it is a little rambling in some part, but mostly direct and easy to read. The pictures are bright, colorful and simply drawn by the author himself. The tone of the story is of imagination and silliness. I read Meet the Skwerdlock to my three year old and it quickly became a favorite that he asks for by name.

I Saw the Skwerdlock
The Skwerdlock can do many things! In I Saw the Skwerdlock, we are taken on a silly adventure of all of the things the Skwerdlock can do that also rhyme! In Seuss-like fashion, the Skwerdlock shows us all the nonsensical things he can do that rhyme. This is a great way to introduce rhyming words and sight words to small children, especially if they already enjoy the Skwerdlock. From common rhymes like bug and rug to newer rhymes like drone and ice cream cone, the Skwerdlock can do it all. The hand drawn, bright pictures depict the Skwerdlock with objects kids can easily recognize and point out for interactive reading.
Never Take a Skwerdlock to the Doctor
Today Trish has to go to the doctor. She isn't sick, Trish just needs a checkup. She tells the Skwerdlock to stay home, but he decides to come along anyway. It seems like the Skwerdlock wants a checkup too!
Continuing the adventures with the Skwerdlock, this imaginative creature wants to see what the doctor is all about by getting a checkup, just like Trish. It was fun for my three year old to see what the Skwerdlock would do next and where he was hiding on each page. Never Take the Skwerdlock to the Doctor also serves as a social story that is good for little ones who might be apprehensive about going for a doctor visit. Trish and Skwerdlock walk you through each step at the doctor in a fun and humorous way. With bright hand drawn illustrations that catch kids attention, this Skwerdlock adventure is good for kids 2-6.
