About the Book

Before reading the enclosed stories, the teacher or parent can ask the children to look and listen for something specific as it pertains to traditional values.

At the conclusion of each story, the teacher or parent can have a discussion with the youngster about the importance of these values and how these values can effect their lives.

For very young children with short attention spans, the teacher or parent can read each story and point out the lessons to be learned.

By doing so, the teacher or parent will help children develop an understanding for the importance of these values.

An audio CD of the author reading the enclosed stores and poems is available for this book.

About the Author

Artie Kaplan is a robust, friendly, and fun loving guy. He is the kind of person that every little boy and girl would like to have as a real or imaginary friend.

His songs and stories about real and imagined happenings leave children spell bound and delighted. Sometimes with a lesson learned, and sometimes, "just for the fun of it." There is always an underlying message that subtly imparts important universal values regarding children’s relationships with other people and the world in which they live.

Kaplan has been associated with the music industry for over forty years. As a musician during the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s, Artie Kaplan appeared on many hit singles and albums recorded by the leading recording artists of the era.

As a songwriter, producer, and music publisher, Artie Kaplan wrote and produced the music for Metromedia’s "Wonderama" television show, a Sunday morning favorite among children. Some of the more memorable songs from that show were Kids Are People Too, and Oh Gee It’s Great To Be A Kid, both titles being the theme song of the show at various times in its development. Artie has also produced a number of recordings of international acclaim. Harmony and Bensonhurst Blues stand out among his best work. His songs also appear in several films as theme songs.

Most recently, Artie Kaplan has changed his direction from popular music to creating beautiful songs and stories for and about children and their situations.

What emerges from Artie Kaplan’s writings is the devilish little boy who was within us in our youth and is still within Artie Kaplan today.

Barnyard Stores and Poems is but one of Kaplan’s recent creations.
