Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer

by Jimmy Carter, 1995

"Once upon a time there was a little boy named Jeremy who lived with his mother in a small house near the sea. His mother earned a bare living for two of them by washing clothes for some of the wealthy families in their town. Jeremy loved her very much."

So begins the enchanting fairy tale Persident Jimmy Carter first spun for his children over three decades ago. Now, with his first children's book, he brings his family's favorite story to vivid life.

Young Jeremy, taunted by his peers because he cannot walk without crutches, is abandoned at the seashore one day when others flee at the sight of a terrifying sea monster. With no choice but to face this dreadful creature, Jermey is surprised to discover a kindred lonely spirit in the little baby snoogle-fleejer. Together the boy and the sea monster forged a secret friendship that produces unexpected rewards when tragedy looms in Jeremy's life.
