"Smoke
in Your Eye Makes You Cry" Volume1 is an ideal book for
young readers. Each story contains jokes, puns and play on words,
with a delightful visual tapestry of animal characters. The
lively personalities range from a tiny Bee to a T-Rex dinosaur
to a singing Armadillo. In their own unique way, they tell the
tales about the dangers of tobacco addiction.

with an Anti-Smoking message.
