and surprise assaults on the "Celtic Tiger" of modern Irish prosperity. The Wish List (2003) Benny and Babe (2001) Benny Shaw, the sports-mad, carefree lad whose adventures in Tunisia have convinced him that he can take on the world, suffers a severe blow to his pride when he meets Babe Meara. He may be a wise guy, but she is at least three steps ahead of him. And he's on her territory. Benny is visiting his grandfather in the country for the summer holidays and finds his position as a "townie" makes him the object of much teasing by natives. Babe is the village tomboy, given serious respect by the local tough guys. She runs a thriving business, rescuing the lost lures and flies of visiting fishermen and selling them at a tidy profit. Babe just might consider Benny as her business partner. But things become very complicated, and dangerous, when Furty Howlin wants a slice of the action. -- Amazon Benny and Omar (2001) Two cultures meet in this hilarious book about a young sports fanatic named Benny who is forced to leave his home in Ireland and move with his family to Tunisia.

Then he teams up with wild and resourceful Omar, and a madcap friendship between the two boys leads to trouble, escapades, a unique way of communicating, and ultimately a heartbreaking challenge. -- Amazon Ed's Funny Feet (2000) with Woody (Illustrator) Ed Cooper has a problem with his big toes: they are facing each other instead of straight ahead. Ed needs correction shoes to straighten his feet out. Everybody will laugh at him. He uses every trick he can think of to avoid wearing the shoes, but it's no use, and at last the shoes arrive. -- Amazon Going Potty (1999) with Woody (Illustrator)
Ed Cooper's a senior infant now and that means using the big boys' toilet. Ed needs "to go" but he just can't.
