      Author Rob Dircks and his brother, illustrator Dave Dircks, have teamed up again- this time with their very first children's book! Alphabert! An A-B-C Bedtime Adventure is the story of Albert, a kid - like all kids - who just doesn't want to go to bed. Using the alphabet and his vivid imagination, Albert embarks on various adventures, learning that nothing's really better than a good night's sleep. If you've got a young one just learning their A-B-Cs, or a grandkid that's too excited to go to sleep, this little gem of a book is the perfect thing. With a simple, playful adventure, and soothing, repetitive rhymes, your little one will be reciting along with the alphabet, and before you know it, drifting off to sleep.

      I don't know what the humans are so cranky about. Their enclosures are large, they ingest over a thousand calories per day, and they're allowed to mate. Plus, they have me. An Autonomous Servile Unit, housed in a mobile/bipedal chassis. I do my job well: keep the humans healthy and happy."Hey you."Heyoo. That's my name, I suppose. It's easier for the humans to remember than 413s98-itr8. I guess I've gotten used to it.*** Rob Dircks, bestselling author of Where the Hell is Tesla?, has a "unit" with a problem: how to deliver his package, out in the middle of nowhere, with nothing to guide him. Oh, and with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance. It's a science fiction tale of technology gone haywire, unlikely heroes, and the nature of humanity. (Woah. That last part sounds deep. Don't worry, it's not.) ***
