Welcome!

Parents! Grandparents!

Do you enjoy storytime with your kids?
Are you tired of the assault on children’s imaginative play by “consumer” culture’s icons of violent warrior superheroes, monsters, sci-fi creatures, and robots?

Ever wish there was a “peacemaker superhero” for little kids who would be a nonviolent role model and actually encourage kids to use their creativity and imagination to solve problems and contribute their own “big ideas” for a more peaceful (and fun) world?

SNICKERDOODLE® to the rescue!

SnickerdoodleWhat’s a “Snickerdoodle?” You may know it as a delicious cookie, but in my family, “Snickerdoodle” was a tiny tall tale hero and champion for the ‘little guy’ introduced in stories by my grandfather almost a century ago.

  • Snickerdoodle, a powerful pee-wee peacemaker and fearless adventurer, hails from the legendary American “Doodle” family: his uncle is Yankee Doodle; his cousin is Polly Wolly Doodle!

  • Snickerdoodle rides to adventure in a magic peanutmobile®, and he uses humor and imagination to outwit bullies and turn enemies into friends.

  • For Snickerdoodle, laughter is a healing force, and he encourages all to lighten up and appreciate the “small wonders” all around.

Fun in a nutshell!

Whether you’re a parent or grandparent, on this site you’ll discover fun ways to connect with your kids (and discover the spirit of the peacemaker superhero that lives within us all!):

It is my joy to share my grandfather’s legacy of “Snickerdoodle”® with you.

I hope you will become a storyteller and will share Snickerdoodle’s history, tall tales, and message with your children—read with them and encourage them to create their own stories and adventures!
