You can write to Maureen & Maury!
This is a very unusual
children’s book. You will find different dilemmas, different fears, and
different obstacles. But you’ll also find different solutions to all of
these problems. You will be taken into a fantasy world full of hope for
the children.
Some of these stories about the adventures of Maureen and Maury, a magical
doll and stuffed rabbit, are based on actual events that took place, but
all the stories are turned into something moving, powerful, and
wonderful—and sometimes even funny!
The
best part of all of this is that your children and even you can join in by
writing to Maureen and Maury with your own ideas. Who knows, maybe they
may be able to use them in their next book! Read the stories in this book
and you’ll see what it’s all about. It’s an experience we can all
learn from.
About the author
The
author, Emelia Hardy, grew up in a world full of fear, pain and abuse and
wrote her life story in Why Daddy,
Why? So who better to write and deal with children’s pain than
someone who’s been there?
In
these stories, you'll find that bad circumstances always turn to
something positive and good!

Love from Maury |
But
always remember, Boys and Girls, that Maureen and Maury are here to help
anybody and everybody that wants to take part in this adventure. This book
is about things that are hard to deal with in the everyday lives of
children just like you—the everyday hopes and fears that children and
some adults are faced with each day!
For instance, like kids being picked on at school for their lunch
money; or pets that have been stolen from little children; or an elderly
lady that has no friends or family to whom to give the beautiful things
she worked so hard to make; or a little boy who thinks his daddy doesn’t
love him anymore. You will find all these stories in this book and many
more!
Some of these stories are actual events that took place along with the
magic of Maureen and Maury ... So come and join Maureen and Maury in this
very unusual adventure!

Also recommended: Emelia Hardy, also wrote of her life story 'Why Daddy, Why?' So who better to deal with the fears of children then some one who's been there.. Read Why Daddy, Why? and you'll understand why she wrote this book special for the kids
| Reviewer: I.B.L. from New Hampshire |
When I heard that the author Emelia Hardy who had written Why Daddy, Why? had written another book, I just had to have it. The Adventures of Maureen & Maury is written for children of all ages and was something that I thought would benefit my grandchildren and great grandchildren. After reading a couple of chapters and seeing the cartoon sketches drawn for each chapter, I was very much amazed. So on I went with my reading. I asked myself where did these ideas come from but then again I remember the things that this author went through herself with her family that she wrote about in Why Daddy, Why?..I soon realized that who better to write about everyday problems that children face then someone who's been there. So I would have to say, with Emelia being a mother was only too well experienced from her own life to be able to help her children. So all you mother's, stay at home dad's, grandmothers, great grandmothers and aunts. If you have children in your family, I really think these children would enjoy these stories in this book. This doll, Maureen, and rabbit, Maury, have a special rapport with or feeling for kids. These magical characters are a joy to read about. It reads well, it covers lots of different problem spots that children face and it's just great! I admire her for putting her time in writing this book and I see where Emelia put an email address and post office address for the children or their parents to write to the characters themselves.
A very good book on learning how to deal with little problems, so get The Adventures of Maureen & Maury and be a part of the next adventure book that will come out in the future, It also contains lots of funny moments between the doll and rabbit..14 different stories, all intriguing!
I rated this book 5 stars but I wish I could give it more! This book would make a wonderful Christmas present for the children!
Don't wait, buy now! You won't regret it!
