Rumble’s First Scare
Motivating & Encouraging Stories
Rumble was published in September 2011 and officially launched at The Bookworm, 62 Athabascan Avenue, Sherwood Park, Alberta 29 October 2011. A delightful story of a little monster being taken by his mother to experience his first scare on All Hallows Eve.
Interview on Arts Talk – 7th December 2011
Each page I turned left me in suspense. Rumble’s journey left me wondering what would happen next? He is brave and courageous and follows who he was born to be – a Monster. Rumble is a monster who travels with his mom to the ‘upper world’. “Rumble’s First Scare” is a cute story that makes me question who he is or what is he doing? Scaring earth children is not fun for earth children, but for monsters like Rumble this is what they are born to do – to scare children. The book is unique and can open up a good conversation about monsters. Do monsters like Rumble really exist? Monsters who enter homes, guided by their monster parents, who make human children fearful. Looking forward to seeing what Rumble does next Halloween.
