What's that noise is Chapters 3 and 4 of The Adventures of Forkman series. In this book, Forkman is teaching the children to load the dishwasher properly and proper manners at the table. In chapter 3, I love the way Forkman teaches to load the dishwasher, putting each piece in its proper place. In chapter 4, Forkman is teaching the right manners at the table. No burping or other rude noises!
What a great way to use eating utensils to teach our children the right things to do in helping in the kitchen and using our best manners while at table eating with the family. I like the emphasis on how meals are a family time where family can talk about things important to them.
And the illustrations created by Vanessa Alexandre are so adorable. I love the characters, the family, the vivid colors, all fit so well and work perfectly with the story that's written. The faces are so cute that smaller children will love looking at the pictures throughout the book. All in all this is a wonderful book inside and out. And I give this one Five Stars!
This book and all of the books in the Adventures of Forkman are a must in you child's home library. It is well worth your purchase.

Thank you so much Tiffany Caldwell for stopping by for this Interview 1
If you could put yourself as a character in your book, who would you be? I can relate to the mom’s character, but I’d probably be a cleaning tool since I seem to clean our house often!
Do you have another profession besides writing? I was in the teaching field for about 14 years and I am currently in Account Management for a healthcare company. I am also in my final few months of Grad School!
How long have you been writing? My passion for writing began when I was in second grade. I still have a few of my old stories! I always wrote about our family trips. When my sister and I were little, I would tell her stories at night! I always had a big imagination!
Do you ever get writer’s block? What helps you overcome it? My dad and I worked really well when we wrote our stories. If one of us gets stuck, we brainstorm and work through what we are thinking together! It has been a really great project for the two of us to work on, even living so far apart!
What is your next project? Our next project is going to be polishing up chapters 5 and 6 of the Adventures of Forkman and getting them into production!
What genre do you write and why? I would say Realistic Fiction. While the setting and concept is real, a fork coming to life is not!
What is the last great book you’ve read? A children’s book that I received just a few weeks ago - “The Search for the Scepter” by Julie Dinges. My kids and I really enjoyed this story!
Meet the Authors:
Tiffany Caldwell: I have worked with children for over thirteen years and every year basic manners become less evident. When I was growing up, my sisters and I took etiquette classes during the summer while we visited our grandparents. Etiquette was always a big part of our upbringing. When we would have our family dinners, my dad, W.R. MacKenzie, would make our utensils come to life as we were eating. Forkman became a part of our dinner routine! I am a mother of three great kids and military wife to my hero. A few years ago, I told my dad we needed to start writing our story. We are so excited to share Forkman with the world!
W.R. MacKenzie: I spent thirty-nine years in the bakery business. After I retired and my four children were grown, I felt it was time to share the importance of the family meal with the world. The Adventures of Forkman teaches children how to properly conduct themselves at the table. Our books are filled with characters all children can relate with and I believe Forkman and his crew will help children of all ages learn manners and table etiquette.
