What child wouldn't find the title entertaining? You just have to love the words "googley woogley," don't you?

THE HEROES OF GOOGLEY WOOGLEY flows nicely from Dalton's previous book, THE SNEAKIEST PIRATES. The end of the pirate story has Pete and his father James going off to become rock stars. THE HEROES OF GOOGLEY WOOGLEY begins with the reader meeting Rock Star Pete and Rock Star James.

The two have gath More...

If you have ever wondered what a children's book would look like if it was written and illustrated by a child; wonder no more.

The space adventure that Dalton James imagines is surreal and humorous. The red and blue wo More...

To make a book like this happen, an adult like me usually try hard to keep a childhood imagination. That wasn't an isue for this author: it was written by a 7-year-old. Kids imagination have no limits, while adults always have that voice in the back of our heads saying "that can't happen". So leave it to a kid to come up with this most creative story. I look forward to m More...

My 8 year old son and I enjoyed reading The Heroes of Googley Woogley and The Sneakiest Pirates by Dalton James. He laughed and snickered at the made up names, places, and pictures that were in the stories. He thought it was "awesome" because his own dad's name is James like the boy in the stories. While he found both the pirates and aliens funny to read, his favorite was the alien battle in The Heroes of Googley Woogley.

I believe the books have even inspired the little More...

In this second book written by 7 year old author and illustrator, Dalton James, the characters from the first book (The Sneakiest Pirates) are now rich and are helping aliens in need of assistance on planet googley woogley. A wonderful story book with colorful pictures. This one even has a cute ending too.
