New Children’s Down-Home Story About a Very Musical Bear

Los Angeles, CA, September 02, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Bingo the Banjo Picking Bear is a story about a bear cub who loves to sing and dance and go fishing with his Grandpa. His name is Bingo, and he has one great wish—to have a banjo of his very own, so he can pick and strum and make up songs. One day he catches a small fish, who says if he lets him go, he’ll grant his wish. Later rather than sooner Bingo gets his banjo; but when his strings break, what’s the only one thing left to pick? Oh, no, not his nose. Sure do hope he gets new strings.

Author Jay Miller’s Bingo the Banjo Picking Bear is a delightful story for kids set in rhyming verse and song. Its full-color illustrations are comically appealing as well as tender, and blend well with the storyline. It touches on real-life lessons of growing old, being kind to others, and replacing bad habits with good ones.

Bingo the Banjo Picking Bear is Miller’s first foray into children’s literature. The moral of his bear tale? “You can wish for anything,” Miller says, “and if you believe, you will have it. But first you must show compassion and mercy to others.” This “Little Anglers” story is sure to resonate with younger children.

Author Jay Miller: “I have been married to my beautiful wife for thirty years now. We have seven children and thirteen grandchildren. I am a retired engineer. God has given me the gift to write children’s books, and time left to do so. I am presently writing a novel for older children and adults called All God’s Critters. It has five different but related stories. Out of that book came five toddler books, the first being Bingo the Banjo Picking Bear. Others will follow very soon. God loves children, and he has blessed me to carry his words forth to them. He is the true author of these books, and I am only his messenger.”
