The Boo Eating Snark

About the Book

I know it seems silly.

I know it’s not right,

but these silly Blue Boo

are just afraid of the night!

The Boo Eating Snark is one book in a series of children’s stories by Uncle Jake called  Tales of the Boo.  Uncle Jake takes a whimsical look at the magical, mystical world of the Boo – fanciful creatures who live along Lake Walleywakoo.

The Boo Eating Snark is a wonderful story of how we all, at times, can be afraid of things we cannot see.  A true Aesop-style lesson for today’s youth, The Boo Eating Snark chronicles how it’s not always wise to let your imagination get the best of you.

Rhyming in classic style, Uncle Jake makes this book a truly entertaining and educating read for all ages – and one that can be shared by all children and parents.

About the Author

This story is from the book that started it all.

Uncle Jake is actually Tim Jacobs, founder of 1^stBooks Library (now AuthorHouse) – the world’s largest provider of self-publishing services. Tim is a well-known businessman who has traveled the world. His experiences have taken him from the Vice President position of a major insurance company in Indiana to being the owner of his own business in the Ukraine of Europe. He has taught at the Kelly School of Business at Indiana University, and is an amazing entrepreneur.

For the complete works of Uncle Jake be sure to buy a copy of Tales of the Boo.

During his career he wrote children’s books as a hobby. After many attempts to become a published author and being turned down, he began to look for alternatives. During his research he found hundreds of potential authors just like himself - wonderful writers, who had written good material - but just couldn’t get the recognition they deserved.

So, Tim decided to start his own publishing company and in doing so he made his services available to others just like himself. The journey has become a tremendous story of success.

Tim, Carmen and their family still live in the rolling country hills of southern Indiana.  Nothing pleases him more than feeling the cool breeze of a summer evening while sitting on the back deck of his home watching the sunset.
