Autor T. A. Kuepperen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 noi 2019
In this adventure, Archie and his veggie friends survive a powerful wind and rain storm that damages their garden and nearby apple orchard. When they learn that a distant farm was completely destroyed during the storm, they travel to help its beloved owner, Farmer Frank. They quickly discover that Farmer Frank is a very special person. Despite the loss of his farm, he invites a circus to give the families of a local town a lift, after they also suffer severe damage. Archie and his friends look for ways to help Farmer Frank rebuild his house and barn; but how will they do it?
All of the Archie Artichoke series of books are written specifically to help children develop their imagination through visual imaging of text and dialogue, complemented with full-color illustrations. And besides being fun to read, There's a Circus at Farmer Frank's! has positive messages and is designed to teach children about:
- Making good decisions and solving problems;
- Working with others to achieve a common goal;
- The difference between a house and a home;
- Caring, helping others, friendship; and
- The names of many important vegetables!
Because There's a Circus at Farmer Frank's! is relatively long for a young children's story, it is designed to be read over several days/nights. The age group for the Adventures of Archie Artichoke series is between three and nine years old. The narrative is designed to be read to a child, and third-grade children will delight in reading the books on their own.
More information about the Archie Artichoke series, as well as audio of Archie's songs, can be found on the author's website. Illustrations of the vegetable characters, suitable for coloring, may also be downloaded there.

Notă biografică
Ted Kuepper is an environmental engineer with a deep appreciation for nature and the environmental challenges we face today. In his career, he has been the managing director of a seawater desalination test facility for the US Navy, and executive director of an international nonprofit organization focused on supplying safe water to rural villages in developing countries. Within his humanitarian work he has traveled to some of the world's most remote locations, helping to supply water during natural disasters.
He began writing the first Archie Artichoke story quite by accident! As the story goes - He was driving his family to Sequoia National Park in California and the kids were getting more fidgety by the minute. When that happened, he'd often start singing a song to get everyone to stop thinking of how long the drive had been and how uncomfortable their old Chevy station wagon was. For some reason on that day, driving up the hill to the entrance of the park, he sang this single lyric: "Artichoke, you're a funny bloke." He was as surprised as the rest of the family, since he had never heard that lyric before. It appeared at that moment-and probably was the result of his wife and him attempting to educate their children on the rewards of eating vegetables.
The lyrical line was easy to sing, and from there he wrote more lyrics about Archie Artichoke to finish what eventually became known as "The Artichoke Song." Soon after, he wrote a song about a little dance he did with his kids around the house, and its title became "Archie's Dance Tune." You may recognize the melody of "Archie's Dance Tune" since it's the military cadence song "I don't know, but I've been told..." Ted was in the Marine Corps during the 1960's, and that particular song made a lasting impression on him as it was sung during the many exercise activities that all Marines endure during training.
