If fun and rhyming are what you're all about, there is a book series you may want to check out. Ozzy Ox is a new children's book character created by local author Callen Kropp. The idea of writing a children's book has been with Kropp for years, but the busyness of life always got in the way. It wasn't until a health scare last fall that she decided now was the time. Some of the inspiration for the stories comes from her personal life. For example, the first book she wrote was "Ozzy Ox Takes a Stand Against Socks" which was inspired by one of her grandchildren, who hated to wear socks when he was little. That will be the last book released in the series. North Dakota artist, Emily Erickson Hagen is the illustrator for the book series. She was enlisted after being asked by Kropp. She said that this project was challenging but fun as it was the first time she had illustrated a cartoon-type book.

However, taking inquisitive kids to visit might lead to lots of questions about the history of Medora. There are a lot of ways to learn the history of the western North Dakota destination, but sometimes it is explained in a way that is hard for younger children to understand. Bismarck artist and author Linda Donlin experienced that firsthand after taking her eight-year-old granddaughter to Medora. Her granddaughter was filled with questions about the historical figures and tried to explain in "layman's terms" so she could understand, but it didn't work well. At that point, she decided that, together with her grandchildren, they would put together a book for middle school kids and families about Medora, "The Magic of Medora". "The Magic of Medora" is filled with Donlin's illustrations and is written in Theodore Roosevelt's voice as if he were telling the story to his grandchildren. It tells the story of the geological formation of the Badlands all the way to the creation of his presidential library.
