Children learn the benefit of
practice and to focus on their strengths. Jack Foster’s
illustrations are perfect. The marriage of J. Aday Kennedy’s
words and Jack Foster’s illustrations make a magical
combination and a delightful read.

Ms. Kennedy's book demonstrates
she has a great deal of insight into how children think and
feel. Her delightful tale will help to inspire youngsters to

In this story of a Pegasus who
is determined to change his klutzy ways, J. Aday Kennedy draws
readers in with a charming and delightful story
filled with characters they’ll love. I look forward to the
next book in the Klutzy Kantor series.

Connection
Klutzy Kantor is a gentle soul
until he trips and falls with every step he takes. Many times
slamming into un-expecting friends along the way. As time goes
by Klutzy Kantor becomes increasingly frustrated by his
klutziness. Determined to overcome he seeks out his friend
Agra for advice. Agra offers up assistance, but not in the way
Klutzy Kantor expects. Instead of physical training a
massaging word play ensues to prepare Klutzy Kantor for the
battle of wits against Cobbledom- who is a leprechaun that
promises to grant your most desired wish if you can beat him
in a duel of wits. Will Klutzy Kantor’s word training achieve
the results he strives for or will the clever leprechaun beat
him as he has done for the last 321 duels? Come along for
Klutzy Kantor’s humorous adventure and find out for yourself.

Reviewer
This is an amusing story with
delightful illustrations that are sure to keep children
entertained. I very much liked the character of Cobbledom
McSweeney and was highly entertained when Kantor crashed into
him as he sat atop his rainbow, causing them both to slide
down the rainbow and land right in Cobbledom's pot of gold! A
charming story which illustrates the benefits of developing
the talents that each one of us has and also shows that lying
doesn't pay in the end.
--Isabella Nicholls, Helena Harper's Poet & Children's Author
Children will relate to this
adorable character, Klutzy Kantor, as he falls and trips on
every page. The themes of friendship, training hard to
achieve a goal, and a desire to improve are wonderful lessons
for kids to learn as they follow his quest to become graceful.
Ms. Kennedy’s
humor throughout this delightful book will tickle kid’s funny
bones everywhere. They’ll have so much fun they won’t realize
that they’re learning great life lessons. They’ll be rooting
for Kantor to outwit the leprechaun, Cobbledom McSweeney, and
get his wish granted. The riddles found in this book are an
added challenge to young and old minds alike. As a retired
teacher I can imagine children in classrooms frantically
raising their hands with their imaginative answers to these
riddles. Jack Foster, a talented illustrator, has used vibrant
colors that are full of fun and movement to portray this
story. Kids will laugh along with his cute, lovable
characters. I recommend J.Aday Kennedy’s book, Klutzy
Kantor, for home and school
libraries.
