I live in northwest Ohio near the banks of the State Scenic Maumee
River along with my parents and two pesky younger brothers.
Bald Eagles have established nesting locations throughout the length of
the Maumee River Valley and can occasionally be spotted soaring over
the my home. The rural landscape has developed my love of animals,
nature, and the outdoors. I love to read and am especially partial to
the classic novels of the 19th century. I also enjoy music and playing my
clarinet. I wrote the children’s book, Ernie the Eagle and the Mysterious Grrrr!, as a
bedtime story for my baby brother when I was only twelve. I hope you enjoy it - Allison
Hi! My name is Allison Carrothers. You might be wondering how I got the idea for
Ernie the Eagle and the Mysterious “Grrr!”. Well, it actually started out as a seventh
grade journal entry. My teacher put up pictures around the classroom and asked us
to write a story with one of the scenes in it. I chose one that showed an eagle
grabbing a fish out of a river. And so Ernie the Eagle was born.
My first book reading and signing of Ernie the Eagle.
I enjoyed making the first grade class laugh and
seeing them so happy about my children’s book.
My first public book signing at Napoleon Public Library
Thank you Betsy Eggers and all the gals at the Library
who made this a success!!!
I enjoy reading bet time stories to my kid brothers. They are very active with great imaginations
So writing this children’s story book was fun. I am hoping that you will be able to read this
Kids book to your siblings or children. As years go by, I think the childrens books that I write
Will be something your family will look back and share fond memories. Kids books, especially
Ones that are short stories, and bed time stories, are my favorite to write. I love reading novels
From the 19th century, but writing kids books are my favorite. Maybe as I get older I will write some
Novels, or mystery books, but for now I am focusing on Childrens story books, specifically, the
Various adventures of ernie the eagle. Other bedtime stories might be fun to write too, but we
Will have to wait and see. I just can’t thank you enough for your interest in my kids book. Please feel
Free to contact me and let me know what you think of my bed time story. Allison@ernieeagle.com or
