Description
William Donahey (1883 – 1970) was a shy child with an exceedingly rich imagination. He used to dream up characters like the Teenie Weenies as a fun pastime, only to later realize his dream of bringing them to life. His lively and imaginative characters live on through his many famous comic books, as well as stories and books like the Adventures of the Teenie Weenies, which continue to be highly regarded among people of all ages even today.The Teenie Weenies are a group of small creatures only two inches in size, who live under a rose bush, and have a well-organized little team where each member has his or her own unique name and personality – which is usually defined by their name. The Teenie Weenies fabricate many of their items from real world objects such as kegs, boxes, jars and used hats.One of the strange particularities of these tiny people are their uniquely stereotyped personalities which give the entire story a more dynamic and alive “feel.” The “General” is the leader, while other Teenie Weenies such as the “Policeman,” the “Indian” or the “Fireman” also have their own unique roles and idealized tendencies.Despite having been written nearly 100 years ago, the stories are fun enough to enjoy no matter what time you’re from. The author’s unique portrayal of his characters are not the only attraction that will take this story off the ground. The plot itself is written in an unconventional way that places the focus on times when very little is happening, and sets the stage for the Teenie Weenies to present all the particularities of their world in full.You’ll also find short, enjoyable chapters, such as The Easter Egg, The Doctor Saves a Bird and A Watermelon Feast, that will make you and your children truly glad you took the time to enjoy this gem of a book from cover to cover.
