Nosey’s Wild Ride on the Belle of Louisville (second edition), winner of four awards, is written by Martha Driscoll and illustrated by Susan Andra Lion. It’s a story about a steamboat on the Ohio River, the Belle of Louisville (she is over 100 years old)! The Belle is the only steamboat in the country built during the Great Steamboat Era (1820s to the 1920s) that is still cruising.
A mischievous cat, Nosey, scampers on board and leads four children on a wild chase all over the boat. This rascal cat causes pandemonium wherever he goes. In turn, the children learn what makes a steamboat unique. The book includes the whimsical illustrations of award-winning artist, Susan Andra Lion, and a Seek-&-Find activity for young readers. Both children and adults will enjoy this historically accurate and highly informative book about one very special steamboat — the Belle of Louisville.

Sammy the Seahorse, written by Martha Driscoll and Ann Driscoll, Ed.D., and illustrated by Susan Andra Lion, is a delightfully visual book about seahorses — how they eat without teeth, swim upright, and have crowns on the tops of their heads. The biggest surprise of all is that the father gives birth to the babies!
Sammy the Seahorse and his pal, Lily the Lobster, make learning fun. They take readers into the coral reef to learn about these extraordinary creatures that really are fish! The glossary, reference information, and one-of-a-kind illustrations depicting the different sizes, shapes, and colors of seahorses are terrific resources.
