About this ebook

Recipient of the prestigious SILVER MOM'S CHOICE AWARDS® and the FIVE STARS READERS' FAVORITE® Award

Exciting Children’s picture book about friendship, wolves, and magic against a mean icy queen and her giant spider.

A fun children's picture book and read-aloud for kids of any age…with friendly wolves, magic, an evil queen that freezes anything that moves, accompanied by a big bad spider body-guard that does her dirty work! A delightful story illustrating values of sacrifice, friendship, and cooperation, plus a great message for kids---hero triumphs by reading!

"The story is filled with chills, thrills, adventure, mystery, and excitement and will keep children glued to the pages. What I like about the book is the messages of friendship, unity, and cooperation it conveys to young readers, encouraging them to develop their good points while growing up. The illustrations are fascinating and they capture the starkness and chill of the Ice Queen beautifully. The pictures also bring the story alive to readers. It is a good book for interactive sessions in classrooms and school libraries because of the messages, and the story is exciting for bedtime story-telling. The Ice Queen, wolves, spider webs, Infurious, the man-eating spider, and the illustrations make it a wonderful book for children."

--READERS' FAVORITE® Five Stars

"Wonderful book! Just finished reading THE ICE QUEEN and loved every gripping, touching, frightening, loving, powerful moment experienced from reading the written words and enjoying the fantastic drawings."-- PJ-Amazon customer

"Heroes triumph by reading--what a great message for children! Additionally, John and Yukon uniquely demonstrate the value of sacrifice, friendship, and cooperation." -- CS Editor

FROM THE BACK COVER:

The forest near quaint little Pickit Town is stirring with an evil power! The Ice Queen has taken over the forest and is attempting to take over the world. One cold look or touch by this terrible Queen would instantly turn one into solid ice, and as the forest turns frozen and dark, all hope seems to be lost. Until Yukon, a wise gray wolf and his friend John Willing try to put a stop to this dreadful Queen with courage and an old book to help them. On their bone-chilling adventure, Yukon and John learn the importance of standing up against evil, and that an answer can always be found by flipping through the yellowed pages of a book.

About the author

A multiple MOM'S CHOICE AWARDS® Winner and FIVE STARS READERS' FAVORITE author/illustrator, Liana Melissa Allen has written and illustrated eight popular books for children and youth. She is a cartoonist, artist, writer, and pianist.

"Imagine wondrous things guides my art, stories, and music. I love to create characters that range from the whimsical to the anamorphic goofballs, to the awesomely abnormal humans. I write and illustrate children's books including a picture book series for ages 5 to 12 called 'A Horse Valley Adventure'. 'Max's Day at School' is my latest and third book of the series.

I also have a 'Horse Valley Toons' comic strip on my website that follows the comical adventures of my Horse Valley crew, Max, Jack, Lax, Donkey, and the young mischievous Twiddle and Dwiddle.

My home is in Southern California with a playful yellow lutino budgie named Peeps that is always willing to help me when I get stuck on a project. Visit my website at LMABOOKS.COM for more about my books, and while there also enjoy my cartoons, artwork, videos, and some of my jazz and classical piano music."

"Always read daily to your children...

and encourage them to read!

Knowledge gained from reading

feeds the imagination.

Imagination is the seed of greatness!" -RPA (My Dad):)

I'm honored that several of my children's books have won the coveted and prestigious Mom's Choice Awards® and also the distinguished Five Stars Readers' Favorite® Reviews!

My books always include my artistic views as an integral part of the storytelling. I believe the added artistic visualization greatly enhances the story for the reader. Illustrations also serve wonderfully to expand the imagination of children, especially when reading aloud to them. Please visit my website at LMABOOKS.COM for more about my creative endeavors in books, art, and music.

For those interested here is a list of my books and their awards. The following three take place in the enchanted land of Horse Valley in my series "A Horse Valley Adventure".
