ROOTHY’S ZOO BOOKS

In THE DRAGON DIARIES Ruth I. Rubin brings to light
the hidden wonderful world of the beloved Dragon.


 

THE COOTIE CHRONICLES brings to light some of the magnificent
contributions of the much maligned Cootie, and a few other silly creatures.




CATS AND OTHER CREATURES offers some interesting observations of cats,
a few other creatures, and a section of pretty silly advertisements!



THE ADVENTURES OF FARNSWORTH FOX features Farnsworth Fox,
who needs to solve a very important problem.




ROOTHY’S ZOO 1,2,3; ROOTHY’S ZOO 4; ROOTHY’S ZOO 5; ROOTHY’S ZOO 6; and ROOTHY’S ZOO 7 contain little stories and vignettes with our cast of characters.  The stories evolve as new characters are introduced, and our old friends continue to inspire us.
        

           


Ms. Rubin includes two recipe books 
with helpful hints and advice from our beloved characters:

ROOTHY’S ZOO RECIPES 1 includes Ms. Rubin’s favorite recipes.

In ROOTHY’S ZOO RECIPES 2, Ms. Rubin honors the memory of her beloved father (Uncle Benny Bear) sharing his recipes with us, includes a few recipes from her beloved mother (Aunt Zee Zee Bear), and even a few recipes from her beloved aunt, (Aunt Ceil Bear.)

Ms. Rubin includes other books in her bookshelf:


THE SPIRIT OF INQUIRY is a self-study guide for families of home-schooled children.

KEEP OUT PARENTS! Is a poetry book for elementary and middle school children full of humor and satire.

In these next two books, ON GRANDMOTHER’S LAP, and *VOICES ON THE WIND, Ms. Rubin creates a new mythology and invites us to expand our philosophical horizons in new areas..

This book is only available in electronic form.

COUNTING MAGIC AND GLORKEES’ HOLIDAY is a double book for young children with exciting illustrations and simple concepts. 

Three operas are included (complete with lyrics, music, stage directions and suggestions) for children to perform.  These are:

DRAGONTALE, An Interspecies Romance.  This is a story in which a princess meets, falls in love with, and marries a dragon (who remains a dragon!)

HODIE AND THE STAR PEOPLE is the story of a young girl
who becomes her people’s teacher.

THE SONS OF ABRAHAM offers a science fiction solution to centuries old conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians.  A basic question is asked: if your enemy is gone, will the conflict disappear?

These next two books are only offered in
