Meet Freddie Cottonmouth - A Boy Who Loves the River, Big
Adventures, and a Furry Beast named Tug. Tug loves taking Freddie on wild adventures—trips to
the moon, building castles, or catching fireflies with
Freddie riding on his wide furry back. When Freddie finds a
mysterious egg, Tug makes him promise never to eat it. But
Freddie is about to discover that broken promises come at a
great price. This is the rare children's story—both bold and tender
and brimming with moments of great risk, adventure, and
heart. Combining the artistic wonder of Where the Wild
Things Are with the timeless storytelling of The
Polar Express, this story will capture both the
imagination and the intelligence of children and their
parents as it sheds light on the power of sin, sacrifice,
and redemption.

Re: Cottonmouth and the River
I tend to think that sometimes the so called "children book" have more things to say than many others. Who knows, this book can be one of those.~ I'm always curious when it's about books: trying out different kind of genres opens my mind every time. c: (Valeria Beccari 3:36pm May 9, 2014)
This sounds like a very well thought out children's adventure story book (a little like a Huckleberry Finn plus). I have always loved reading children's books to my children, probably because my mother always read many stories to me and my sisters and I enjoyed this special reading time so much. I love the cover for your book! (Linda Luinstra 5:16pm May 9, 2014)

Will a beer do? I already have the sweats, etc. LOL. Thanks for sharing your book with us. I truly appreciate books with "hope and redemption" and wish there were more of them out there. (Elaine Seymour 5:23am May 10, 2014)
I am not sure the age of the kids for this book but looks like grade school but I think my 11 year old granddaughter would love this adventure book. (Leona Olson 8:54am May 10, 2014)
I have to commend you for not only being an illustrator, which is a hard job in itself, but to take on a job as Author as well!! Your book sounds like quite the adventure, and I'm sure I'll be whisked back to my childhood when I read it, although childrens' books are a bit more advanced nowadays then when they came out when I was young!! I can't wait to read it, and admire your illustrations!! Congratulations on such an undertaking!! I'm sure your children are proud of their Dad!! (Peggy Roberson 9:12am May 10, 2014)
I love the cover and I agree that some children's books are great messages for adults as well. (Pam Howell 12:37pm May 10, 2014)
A great story concept and I know my grandchildren would love this. It reminds me of the Huck Finn series. It is our imagination that fuels what we do with ourselves and our children. You have given that the next step and put it into a book that parents and children will like. Thank you. I will be getting this book either by wining or buying it. (Tina Ullrich 11:35pm May 10, 2014)
