Twelve Upon A Time... October: Trick or Treat with Bitty the Bat Bedside Story Collection Series. Edward Galluzzi

      I wish to express my appreciation to Joe and Ellen Bocik, my neighbors and friends. Their children’s contribution of 144 drawings appear in the 12 monthly chapters of the original black and white third edition book, Twelve Upon a Time... Each chapter is now part of a new 12 book “Bedside Story Collection Series” and the drawings that appear in each book are printed in the wonderment of color. Each monthly story is unique and illustrated by children whose interpretation of the words help tell the stories, as seen through their eyes.

      These colored drawings were created by Adam Bocik (age 12), Sarah Bocik (age 10) and Sharon Bocik (age 7). I also wish to thank Hannah Bocik (age 7 months) for her singular drawing, which appears in the December book. All their drawings represent the genuine imagination only children can bring to life. Their drawings enrich each of the 12 stories and provide parents and their children an enriching experience told beyond the words. Enjoy each of the 12 books in this “Bedside Story Collection Series.” Pleasant dreams!
