These are children's nighttime stories I told my kids years ago and now my grandchildren. My kids loved these fictional stories of a man who lived in the mountains named Homer ... with his dog Fido. In addition, there are 3 more main characters ... Rumbles, Gentle Ben and Iceberg. These stories are for kids maybe 3 to 11 ... designed to be shared when your kids are in bed ready to go to sleep ... at least that's the time I've shared these stories ... bedtime. I hope your kids will enjoy these "Homer" stories as much as my kids/ grandkids do. Thanks for listening.
