So one so-called "improvement" Deedy (that's Dorothea Jensen to you) has made recently is re-doing the "End Matter" in our books. (We think the term sounds a little yucky, but she tells us this is the standard industry name for it.)
Anyway, we thought we'd post some of the E. M. for you all to see. Here it is! (Of course, we know all about what happens in these stories, and such short summaries leave out the drama, the cliff-hanging, and the romance. We Izzies love to read 'em, anyway!)
About
the Izzy
Elves Series
Dorothea
Jensen has written four story poems about
Santa’s
Izzy Elves and plans to write four more.
1. Tizzy,
the Christmas Shelf Elf
Two
naughty boys sneak downstairs Christmas morning before their parents are up and
find Tizzy, one of Santa's elves, packed inside one of their presents.Tizzy
says Santa's sleigh is powered by the imaginations of children, and asks the
boys to use their own imaginations to send him home. But how? (Mom’s Choice
Award Winner, Juvenile Level 1 [Ages 5-8 Years], e-book category)
2. Blizzy, the Worrywart Elf
Blizzy
(Tizzy's "favorite lass") is the only elf who notices that Tizzy is
missing. When she starts asking her friends where he could be, however, they
think she is just being a "worrywart". What Blizzy REALLY is,
however, is very, very clever, and she alone just might figure out the mystery!
(Mom’s Choice Award Winner, Juvenile Level 1 [Ages 5-8 Years], e-book category)
3.
Dizzy, the Stowaway Elf
Dizzy
(Tizzy’s best friend) eager to have an adventure of his own, sneaks aboard
Santa’s sleigh. He literally drops into the bedroom of two little boys and the
three of them share a wild joy ride that might be even more of an adventure
than Dizzy was hoping for! (Story Monster Approved; Honorable Mention Purple
Dragonfly Award – Picture Books 6 & Older)
4.
Frizzy, the S.A.D. Elf
Frizzy, the girl elf who styles the hair of Christmas dolls,
misses them badly when Santa takes them away to deliver to children. She
changes her job so she won’t miss the toys she works on. It doesn’t work out
the way she planned! (Winner, Children/YA Category, Red City Review Book
Awards; Winner, Santa Choice Award)
Watch for
Bizzy, the Know-It-All Elf, coming in 2016!
