Short description

It seems no matter how much care we give to laying wires or cords and alike, they always seem to end up a big rat's nest of jumble! How does this happen? "The Secret Life of Wires and Stringies and Cords!" has the inside information on this rarely seen phenomenon. Let J.T. Contardo guide you through this rare event, in a whimsical and rhyming style all his own. For ages four and up.

Extended description

J.T. Contardo aspires to be a 'Master of Whimsy' (MoW), taking common and not so common topics and dressing them in colorful, fun rhymes. His book series "The Secret Life of...," covers topics that run the gambit and ranges from birds, bees, trees, and fleas, to the night sky, owls, friends, whales, and even Santa himself.
His first published book titled "The Secret Life of Wires and Stringies and Cords!" delves into a place not many care to tread: The unseen world on how the heck wires or cords and alike turn into a jumbled, knotted, rat's nest.
J.T.'s writing style is educational, without all the stuffy facts and figures. The entire series is consistent in style, because J.T.'s sons required that of their dad! His boys loved Mercer Mayer's critter books and Doctor Seuss books because they are so familiar, recognizable and of course, very much fun.
J.T.'s series captures that same fun and feel in whatever topics become part of his ongoing quest to make a rhyme.. (Read more) J.T.
