Hey.... just wanted you to know I had written a review of your book , and not sure if it went in the correct place... anyway, here it is...
What a wonderful book! I can see what an inspiring, motivating, positive influence this would have on kids. But there is more to it than that. All children need a place that they can go and allow that wonderful imagination its freedom. Great minds have been exercised for each individual on their own “Wisdom Pond”. It’s called ‘creativity! I would love to go there…
And you know, adults need the same thing! I liked Mr. Mahaffy, but I love Whurly!!!
Cindy and Jerry, go to your own ‘Wisdom Pond’, keep creating! It’s wonderful!

After reading “Mr. Mahaffy on Wisdom Pond”, I felt it sends a very positive message to children. It has a refreshing story line. I started reading the book late one evening and hated to put it down. I finished it the next morning. I am anxious to read the sequels to this book and implement them in my classroom.

Cindy and Jerry,
Thank you for letting me read your manuscript about Mr. Mahaffy and his friends.
What a wonderful book for young readers to be able to curl up in a comfy chair in front of a window on a lazy day and read about the lives of Mr. mahaffy and his friends. It reminds me of the times I used to enjoy my Nancy Drew mysterys. Yes, I can remember that far back. Mr. Mahaffy and his friends have lives just like your young readers and it's a womderful way for them to learn some of the lessons of life that we have to learn. Mostly I think they will learn about loving their friends, responsibility and resolving little problems as they go thorough their daily lives. And the really good thing is, they will be able to look forward, with anticipation, to the next edition coming out to find out what else Mr. Mahaffy and his friends are up to. WHAT FUN! I'm anxious myself to find out if Mr. Mahaffy becomes a big GUITAR PICKING SUPERSTAR.

OH MY GOD!!! WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY!!! I am so VERY, VERY impressed!!! I know this book was written for children and to teach them and help them get through life with much needed lessons in a positive manner, but when I started reading this story, I couldn't stop until the end. It was a great help in reminding me to see the beauty in all living things and in reminding me of lessons that I've learned but tend to forget with each busy passing day.
It is written in such a way that each charactor is vividly seen in my mind's eye and each one pops to life. It is beautifully written. I am anxiouly waiting for it to come out in the stores and I am also anxiously waiting for the sequels that I KNOW will follow...not to mention the movies. It is definitely a book that I would have to have if my children were still young enough to read to. I will definitely buy it and have it on hand for the day that I have grandchildren.
Thank you Cindy and Jerry for bringing such a wonderful story and charactors into our lives. SUPER, FANTASTIC JOB WELL DONE and WELL WRITTEN. Keep up the wonderful work and please bring us more Mr. Mahaffy stories.
Thank you!

The world of Mr. Mahaffy and his friends on Wisdom Pond will delight readers young and old. The stories have a particular appeal to the young imagination and their playground sense of justice. Parents and grandparents will truly enjoy reading these adventures to toddlers at bed time, and I sincerely hope to see Mr. Mahaffy included on every reading list in elementary schools. Jerry and Cindy should be extremely proud of their legacy contribution to children's literature.
