Inhaltsangabe:

The Calvin and Dad series chronicles the bond Calvin and his dad share as they explore a parade of life's marvels, some seemingly ordinary but always humorous. Each story, told in first person from Calvin's perspective, allows the adult reader to chuckle over a child's perspective of how things are and reminisce of the days of Dad teaching a child and the many things that a child teaches their Dad. In I Live in 2 Houses, Calvin's parents have divorced with Calvin dividing his time between his parent's two houses. He enjoys having different experiences with each parent who make his time with them memorable, enjoyable, and filled with love. Calvin and his dad ponder the realities of divorce as they find and share a silver lining.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Fred Neff's Calvin and Dad children's book series stem from real life fatherhood experiences with his toddler son, Calvin. The Memory Tree is the first in the series.When speaking to children at schools, Fred is often asked how he got started writing. After stating that he learned how to rhyme by listening to songs on the radio, replacing the words with those of his own, he usually gets oohs and aahs of wonder from children in the audience when he adds that it was before television! After receiving a B.A. in Journalism from San Diego State University, Fred wrote numerous articles as a Contributing Editor for San Diego Home/Garden Magazine before turning the pages in life to eventually set down roots in Southeastern Connecticut, where he has lived and worked for the past three decades. Fred believes that in every adversity there is a seed of opportunity of equal or greater value. From the adversity of a divorce, he found a seed of opportunity in writing stories about the adventures that he and his young son, Calvin, have shared. This led to publishing numerous books either about Calvin or as a collaborative effort, with Calvin challenging Dad to write stories for him, such as the fireman's favorite rescue story, Farnsworth the Firehose and Taylor Grief, and a holiday favorite, Can Gi-Normus the Tow Truck and Squawky Palone Save Christmas?
