Gregg B. Jackson

Gregg B. Jackson is a retired university professor. He gets his ideas for children's stories from "anywhere, everywhere, and somewhere else." Aimed at 4- to 7-year-olds, the stories are mostly about characters who are confronted by intimidating challenges and eventually draw on their brains and resolve to triumph. Jackson intends not only to engage and entertain but also to provoke thought and develop character in his young audience. A website at www.CoolHeadStories.com offers questions for children's reflection, comments submitted by readers, and a means of contacting the author.

The author's illustrated children's stories are:

82 Words, Bad Dreams Away, The Escape, The Three Little Swine, and Tommy Toolittle
