"Bart Bantam the Flying Rooster, written and illustrated by Fred Pollard, delivers a warm, spirited tale that appeals to readers of every age. Brimming with charm, gentle humor, and an uplifting message, it offers inspiration without ever feeling heavy-handed. ...Beneath its playful tone, the story carries a deeper truth: differences are not drawbacks but quiet strengths waiting to be acknowledged and celebrated. ...Young readers will find a hero in Bart's boundless enthusiasm."
(From the Literary Titan website : "The Literary Titan is an organization of professional editors, writers, and professors that have a passion for the written word. We review fiction and non-fiction books in many different genres, as well as conduct author interviews, and recognize talented authors with our Literary Book Award.

From Mayor Charles Harbaugh IV:
★★★★★
" Fred Pollard is a true treasure to our community both as an author and as a musician. His kind spirit, creativity, and genuine love for people shine through in everything he does. Fred has a rare gift for blending storytelling with meaningful life lessons, making his children's books not only entertaining, but impactful.
His journey from comic-drawing kid, to longtime counselor, to local musician, and now author- has shaped a voice that is heartfelt, thoughtful, and uniquely his. Every page he writes feels like a conversation with a wise friend, or as his fans say, " Papa Fred-like a dad, only cooler."

The 4th book in the Tales of Bart Bantam Series
“These aren’t real, guys. They are only statues,” said Billy. Or….. are they?
Our favorite bantam rooster, Bart, and his class are on an exciting field trip! They are roaming back through time to see all sorts of dinosaurs. Nothing will dampen their spirits, even when an ominous sign at the entrance of the park shows that things may not be as they seem.
As the class freely moves around the park, Bart and his two best buddies venture off onto a mysterious dark path. Things start getting a bit scary, and the trio has lost their way. With heavy fog and creepy statues, how will Bart and his buddies get back to the class? Where will this path take them? Are these statues really just statues?

It is a perfect bedtime story for sharing, and also a great independent read for ages 6-9. So, pick up a copy today to enjoy the latest adventure in The Tales of Bart Bantam series.
