The Grumpy Squirrel

Why is the little red squirrel so grumpy? Everything had been carefully planned, or so he thought. Much of the autumn had been spent burying his nuts around his beautiful garden ready to be collected once winter arrived. But now winter was here and large ‘things’ had appeared in the garden, a pirate ship, a teepee, a fairy village, a tree house and a huge swing that were now hiding where his precious nuts had been buried. What’s more, whenever he ventured out to search for his collection of nuts, other animals were there to scare him away. He couldn’t understand where they had come from, a fox, a dog, a cat and a very scary owl all tried to catch him. How can he find his buried treasure trove of nuts without becoming supper for one of these wild animals?

The Leopine and The Kumeer

In a distant far off country in The Used to Be Wild West, there is a ruler called The Kumeer. Not a particularly nice person, he shouts a lot, he doesn’t consider the people who work for him and he is generally disliked by his subjects.

One day he meets a Leopine. A ferocious-looking animal, with a heart of gold and very concerned about right and wrong. He confronts the Kumeer and threatens to do all sorts of nasty things to him if he doesn’t change his ways. The Kumeer, so scared of the Leopine, immediately becomes a caring considerate ruler, and finds out, surprisingly, that he much prefers his new way of life to his previous one. A story that shows that all people deserve consideration and respect no matter who, or what they are.
