About Jacqueline Horsfall

Knock-knock. Who's there? ME. The book I most loved and read repeatedly was an anthology of college campus humor filled with satire, raucous poems, potty jokes and nonsense from over 65 college humor magazines. My 12-year-old Catholic brain knew instinctively to hide this book from my mother -- and the nuns. But I typed up the hilarious stuff and passed it around to my friends, who thought I was a hoot. And so marked the beginning of my career writing humor -- joke books, mainly, but also fiction. Whenever I visit schools, the first thing students request is "Tell us a joke." But I can't. I'm not a stand-up comedian. I can write punch lines, no problem, but I can't remember them!

EarthGames: 50 Nature Games for Ages 3+ Oct 13, 2012

by Jacqueline Horsfall

$3.99

EarthGames is full of chanting, play-it-again action games that are easy to learn quickly, yet substantial enough to last through repeat performances. The book is broken into three nature-themed sections--Wildlife World, Playful Planet, Cosmos--each containing its own Warm Up & Cool Down exercises. Designed for indoor or outdoor group play, EarthGames are a perfect fit for home or school, on Earth Day or any day. Perfect for teachers, youth leaders, child care workers, parents and grandparents.

The rules of play, with their variations, have been tested with young children for effectiveness in group play. Competition--useful in heightening the enjoyment of games--is kept low-key and never made the focus of play. The Appendix provides a breakdown of games for physically-challenged players who are unable to engage in high-activity games.

Jacqueline Horsfall is also the author of the award-winning nature activity book Play Lightly on the Earth (Dawn Publications 1997). She has over 15 years of experience in youth-and-family nature programming.

$2.99

Party Rock at the White House? Meet the clueless young leaders of the free world, 15-year-old First Girl Jeanie and her slacker bro Hoban, the newly-installed U.S. President. In this hilarious romantic comedy of errors, Jeanie is on a doomed quest for self-improvement. She's certain her life algorithm (Jeanie, First Girl = Cloistered Nun + Juvenile Detention x Solitary Confinement) will improve if she can only:

Ditch the White House.
Lose poundage.
Rock a pair of killer heels.
Turn her hunky, brooding Secret Service bodyguard into her own personal minion.
Crack the secret identity of a 5-year-old cyber-stalker.

Join the raucous birthday bash when Hoban throws a $30,000 per plate combo political fundraiser/Sweet Sixteen Pig Roast for Jeanie on the South Lawn, attended by mega-rich bigwigs, unscrupulous politicians, icky lechers, rowdy protestors, and a tipsy party girl claiming she's been abducted by aliens.

How will our nation survive?
