Big Top Tommy

by Bret Wheadon

Overview

From the mists of American folklore comes the heretofore untold tall-tale of "Big Top Tommy" - whose prodigious size and strength (and penchant for juggling wildcats) made him the purveyor of the biggest circus in the world! Filled with funny, (albeit historically murky) adventures, Big Top Tommy gives a rip-snorthing, spine-tingling addition to the American tall-tale canon.

About the Author

I have been the librarian since September 1994. I earned a Bachelor's degree in English with an emphasis in Children's Literature.

I have always loved to read, as well as sing. I am currently a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, which I joined in 2002; and in the past I have appeared in numerous theatrical productions around the Wasatch Front.

I'm told I have a dynamic reading style and wide knowledge of children's literature. My favorite authors include: Roald Dahl, Frances Hodgson Burnett, L.M. Montgomery, John Christopher, J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Dickens, Madeleine L'Engle, Lloyd Alexander, Agatha Christie, Rex Stout, J.K. Rowling, Jonathan Stroud, Jack McDevitt, and Isaac Asimov.

My favorite treat is chocolate cake doughnuts with chocolate frosting and nuts (hint, hint).

Despite enjoying high cultural works by authors such as William Shakespeare, Charlotte Brontë, and Charles Dickens, I possess a hidden dark side:

...I have an affinity for cheesy science fiction movies, like The Brain From Planet Aros, Plan 9 From Outer Space, and The Green Slime. (It really drives my friends crazy!)
