Pout or Purpose?
About the Book
Copyright 2005: K.C. Fox Publishing
Question: What do totem poles, Aesop's Fables and Pout or Purpose? have in common? Answer: Each uses animals to tell a story to convey a point or message.
Pout or Purpose? is an entertaining and meaningful self-improvement book about finding your purpose in life. The book (appropriate for ages 17 on up to senior citizens) uses two main characters (a fast thinking fox, and a pig with problems), and a cast of other animals, who, with the assistance of the budding life improvement consultant, Mr. Fixity Fox, exhibit and explain their personalities.
It is through these discussions, that each of us sees the aspects of our own lives - what they mean, and how they can be improved. Each animal lives its life in a way that is unique to that animal - and strikingly familiar to us all. Written in a humorous, yet informative style, the story is simple, but applying its concepts can have a lasting impact on one's life.
