About the Author

The author in Maine, where the little red boat drifted ashore.

Author George Smith is proud to be a lifelong New Jersey resident. However, his first book, “The Journey of the Little Red Boat,” originated in Maine, where George’s grandparents were born and raised and where George, his siblings and their families have a summer home near the coast. There they enjoy walking, eating lobster, relaxing in the sun on the warm, flat rocks along the shore, swimming in a nearby cove where the water is actually fairly warm, visiting the sites in this beautiful state, and rescuing any little red boats that drift into the cove.

The author out West, visiting Spike and her “family.”
 

For his second book “Spike, The Amazing Chicken,” George traveled out West, where his cousins have a ranchette on which Spike the chicken lives. As you will see from reading the book, Spike is a very unusual, amazing chicken. The information about Spike that is true has been listed as nonfiction in the front material in this book. The information about Spike that is fictitious and was added by the author to make the story even more fun and interesting is also listed in the front material in this book.

This story is all dialogue, and it can be performed by three characters.
