Hello fellow authors and readers. My name is Jack Spencer from Peekskill, NY. My wife Kathleen and I have lived in the same house since 1992. Peekskill is a small city in the Hudson Valley section of New York state. I retired from Metro North Railroad after thirty-two years, where I worked as a bartender. Since retiring I started my own painting company. So then I started writing my story of being as bartender in Grand Central Terminal. Until I had a dream of writing a children's book, about how i used to teach my daughters, Michaela and Meagan, the basic information they needed to know in case they ever got lost. I would use a elephant to do the talking , in my best Eddie the Elephant voice. But let me tell you , it worked, they knew all the right information to get themselves home safe. Hence, why I wrote Eddie the Elephant and ME. So you can teach your children the same basic information that they will remember for a life time. Eddie's adventures will continue to teach the children of the world all sorts of information. The fill in the blank style book also helps your children with handwriting. So enjoy Eddie the Elephant and ME, and more adventures to come.
