Wise Words from the Bad Rabbit

The Bad Rabbit and his friends impart universal truths and simple wisdom on how to live one’s life for children and their parents. These are individually presented through situations the Bad Rabbit and his friends find themselves in, which in turn can be humorous, loving, scary or profound. Although the rabbit and his closest confidants can be mischievous or downright naughty, there is always the constant thread of love and loyalty across all the friends. As we know, life can get a little bit too serious without a healthy dose of humour and the ability to laugh at ourselves. Wise Words from the Bad Rabbit is the second volume, following Life Lessons from the Bad Rabbit.

Wilson's Walk

For Mr Tom, walking Wilson is good exercise in the fresh air. For Wilson, it's a whole new world! Join Wilson and his woodland friends on their secret adventures.

Willy and Wally, the Windscreen Wipers!

Willy and Wally are windscreen wipers. They’re what now? They are windscreen wipers, you know those things that keep car windscreens clear when it rains or snows. But they’re very special windscreen wipers. These windscreen wipers come to life when people (that’s you and me) are not looking. Next time you are in a car with your family, take a look. But don’t touch them! They may be special too.

Our mischievous windscreen wipers (as in cheeky monkeys!), love to go on adventures in their home town of Bryson-on-the-Walk. When they do they are helped by their friends. There’s Milly and Molly the mirrors, ’Enery the engine, Horatio the headlight and Boddington the bumper.

I first met Willy and Wally on a journey to London many, many years ago. It was raining and they did a grand job in keeping the windscreen clear and so kept me safe. Of course I didn’t know their names back then but I soon found out….

Find out what happens in this their first adventure when they hear a very strange noise coming from the back of their car.

William and the Pirates of Fruxiclay

William had only done a tiny bit of magic. Nothing to write home about. The ball was going into his unmarked goal, in a local football match and he had just made the ball swerve away, into the waiting spectators. Of course, Esmeralda had seen what had happened and to say she was annoyed was an understatement. He didn’t dare try to use any more magic during that game and in spite of his heroic efforts he was unable to stop the opponents scoring two more goals, making the score 4-3 to the opposition. Ah well, it could have been worse, at least his team had scored and from what he could see from his end of the pitch, they were very good goals.

William soon finds himself heading back to Clyeophos, where he would be learning how to use his magic properly. The spaceship Superiority is attacked by some pirates from Fruxiclay, who take the crew hostage. How will they escape and continue their journey?

Will Power

He is universally regarded as the world’s most influential writer, whose works transcend cultures and time. Yet, in his homeland, one person in five has never seen or read a play by William Shakespeare.
The author of this book believes the reason that so many fail to make the acquaintance of the Bard lies in the classroom. He feels the introduction to Shakespeare is made in the wrong way and to pupils of the wrong age.
This book attempts to show that simple rhymes, evoking the powerful moral themes of Shakespearean drama, can engage the interest of young children more effectively than confronting teenagers with an incomprehensible text.
