The Bump

It’s been a long, cold winter and the woodland animals are fed up and hungry. When a pile of grain is accidentally spilled in the lane by a passing trailer, it gives Badger an idea. What would happen if the animals built a bump across the road? Everyone works very hard, except Fox, who pretends to be busy and gives lots of instructions. Now they are waiting to see what will come down the lane, and they don’t have to wait very long. “Quick! Hide!” screeches Crow from the tree-tops. “Something’s coming!”

This is an exciting and very funny story for young children. They will love waiting to see what drops into the lane, and how the animals use these items. The ending shows the importance of recycling.

The Camel Who Wanted to Play the Saxophone

This is a gentle story thought of a time I was practising playing my saxophone, looked upon by inquisitive camels. They are beautiful, gentle creatures, and even quite intelligent. So why couldn’t one of them have an adventure alongside some of the really friendly local people? They too live a much slower pace of life than some of us, but they seem to be far more content. I hope it gives an idea of how we should value people in their diversity.

The Cheeky Robin

Cheeky is a very friendly and adventurous little robin. Every day he flies into the garden of a small girl, called Jane. She always recognizes Cheeky from the way he lifts his head to sing, puffing out his deep red breast, and rustling his olive-brown feathers. As soon as Jane sees him, she runs out with food and sometimes he hops right on to her hand to eat it.

But there is someone who doesn’t like him in the garden at all and wants to get rid of him. Who could that possibly be? Who would want to harm a little robin?

Then one day there was no Cheeky in the garden, or the next day, or the next. Jane knew something must have happened to him. It was a big mystery, where was he? What was he doing? Was he safe, or had some big animal eaten him up? Read the book and find out what really happened to the little robin.
