Copper and the tree frog
Caution!
This book may lead to kids frog calling and owl hooting around your home or library. Other side effects may include laughing out loud, a strong desire to go outside, and increased interest in nature.
Copper enjoys the comfortable life of an ordinary house cat: playing with crinkly toys, eating from a bowl piled high with food, sleeping in a plushy bed, and conducting embarrassing personal grooming in front of houseguests. But Copper also craves adventure, and that’s hard to find when you’re stuck inside the house.
Her appetite for adventure is soon satisfied by a visit from Riley, a peculiar green tree frog who represents the FLOCC, a special wildlife squad. Another member of the FLOCC, Benny the night heron, is in trouble. His chicks are disappearing one by one, and suspicion of a traitor in the FLOCC has forced the group to ask an indoor animal for help.
To solve the mystery and prove herself to the FLOCC, Copper will have to overcome her fears and plunge deep into the gloomy rookery where the night herons make their home. Along the way, she’ll meet creatures she never imagined, face dangers she never anticipated, and clean some pretty gross stuff off her fur . . . somehow.
About Me
My name is Mike Jones. No, not the rapper, but I do have a rhyming goat in my stories. I’m also not the former NFL linebacker Mike Jones or the other linebacker Mike Jones who played for my beloved Clemson Tigers. Those are all great Mike Joneses, but I am not them. I’m the author Mike Jones. Yep, there is more than one of those as well. Heaven help the human with a common name, especially when it comes to Internet searches.
I like to read stories, hear stories, watch stories, and tell stories. I’m a Coastal Master Naturalist living in South Carolina with my wife, kids, an orange tabby cat named Copper, and enough tree frogs to qualify as a biblical plague.
If this doesn’t sound like a Mike Jones that interests you, you are in luck! There are many Mike Joneses to choose from. It’s a Mike Jones world out there. Heaven help us.

As you can see, Copper is quite the stickler when it comes to approving her stories, so I’m busy getting the next book in shape to meet her approval. While we wait for her high standards to be met, sign up for my newsletter below to get updates on the book and anything else I’m working on. Thanks for stopping by!
