This fun and unique story is about a Grandfather, called Poppy, and his Safety First approach to teaching deer hunting basics to his grandchildren. All the while he actually teaches important life lessons that will leave a lasting impression on the minds of all who read this book.

Imagine a 7-year-old boy asking his father if they can hike the entire Appalachian Trail, and then imagine that the father says yes.

You are about to open the pages of a book containing some of the make believe friends of Larry M. Thompson called Poppy’s Lil Friends Friends that reach out to you and ask to be heard and to be believed in. To make them really stand out and get your attention I have given them the ability to talk. I’m allowing them to use improper words to make it sound like little animals talking. We know animals can’t talk like us. Well, in poppy’s World they can talk. Read it and see for yourself. Larry M. Thompson
