Sleepy Rabbity

The stars are out, the moon is bright, it’s time for Rabbity to say goodnight. But Rabbity isn’t quite ready for bed just yet.

He has a few more things he wants to do first... and so do you! 

Pleasant verse, beautiful and clear illustrations, and easy-to-follow text make this a great book for young children.

Snort

So… people have made a mess of things as usual, and the Valley is cold and cheerless.

The last Red Dragon is born, snorting and pale pink in a damp cave, unable to make fire, melt glaciers and usher in spring.

Can Snort together with his only friends, three heroic mice Shallwe, Whatif and Doit, reach The Great Attenbird who has seen it all from the top of the mountain? Can they take direction from Corvid 20 and Corvid 20A the know-it-all Jackdaws, glean some truth from Cummins and Govins the slippery lizards of the ice kingdom.

Will Scarlett and Vulcan, the ancient Red Dragon parents, live long enough to be proud of their only child and hear the birds sing again?

Will a tired and angry band of children do a better job next time? Not all these questions are answered inside these covers, but some are…

Teebu the Leopard

Strazz opened her mouth wide and tried to take a nip at Teebu but Teebu backed away only to bump into another hyena who also tried to take a nip but she quickly got out of the way. She was now surrounded by hyenas and they all tried to take a bite of her as their noisy howls went up in the air. The howls got louder and louder as they continued their attack on Teebu but she was quick and kept out of the circle that they had made around her and quickly fled from their midst.

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 Lonely Potoo

There once was a lonely potoo.

The other animals would giggle and cry,

‘Oh look, it’s the ugly potoo...I can’t be friends with you!’

One day, the potoo was tired of feeling gloomy and down.

So he flew from his tree, hoping a friend could be found.

Will the clever potoo be able to trick the other birds using a not-so-perfect disguise?

The Outing

The inquisitive Fred goes out to find food for his increasingly large family, but he gets more than he bargained for when he has a 'close encounter' with a 'big person'. The world can be such a scary place, especially when you are only 'mouse size'.

A light-hearted story with a warm-hearted look at some issues raised during the pandemic with younger readers in mind, with slightly quirky watercolour and ink illustrations. Ideal as a read-aloud bedtime story.

The Story of Pink Bunny

Pink Bunny is a highly educated, artistic, hardworking, loving and bossy bunny. But how can this be, for she just sits on the bookcase all day and night… or does she? Katie and her fluffy toys set out to discover the truth. Could she really be Dr Pink Bunny, head of surgery at the internationally renowned Star Swamp Hospital and a ballet teacher? The story, set in the bedroom of a small green house near Star Swamp by the West Australian coastline, follows these charming, enthusiastic and loving characters for this adventure and more.

The Watermouse Family

Nan has an accident while baking the pies to sell in the family shop, but little Toby has an idea that saves the day.

The Wheels on the Bus

This wacky animal alphabet story is best sung to the well-known tune…The Wheels on the Bus.

The bus is empty, so will the cat, the dog, the elephant, the frog, the goat, the horse, the ibis, the jelly fish and the koala catch up before nightfall?

When will this animal alphabet nonsense finish? Sing along to discover…

…where all small children must drift as the sun goes down.

Whither Wander Wood

The dragon family live in a tree house in Whither Wander Wood. They share the wood with other animals amongst trees which withdraw their roots at night, to meet and greet each other and to exchange the current gossip.

The dragons and their friends shop at The Cookie Shop and watch Henrietta Hen juggling her tasty eggs. Reg the Veg supplies them with scrunchy vegetables and fruity fruits.  

One day, Mean Man arrives in the wood intent on cutting down all the trees and erecting monstrous buildings in their place. The Whither Wander Wood animal residents devise a plan to thwart Mean Man. Finally he leaves the wood promising never to return.  

All the animals hold a celebratory party with eggs on toast, scrunchy vegetables, fruit and cake.

Peace comes once more to Whither Wander Wood.
