Our books

The Squickerwonkers book series are “cautionary tales for modern day brats” (in the general age range of 5-10yrs-old).

Fantastical, short and whimsical tales, told in limerick poetry and brought to life with vivid, detailed and colorful illustrations, they follow a troupe of vice-ridden marionette puppets through foil and foible offering children a safe place to explore their own shortcomings.

In a day and age when children are being coddled more than ever, it gives us great glee to ruffle their feathers with some good old-fashioned mischief, consequence and a sprinkle of tricky vocabulary to boot.

Tender our books, and our 10 main characters, are not…Papa the Proud, Mama the Mean, Gilligan the Guilty, Greer the Greedy, Andy the Arrogant, Lorna the Lazy, Gillis the Gluttonous, Sparky the Spectacle, Meghan the Mute and Selma the Spoiled.

Two of the to-be, 20-book series will be dedicated to each character and we hope you will delight in reading along as each one receives their comeuppance.
