Good Night Freddie

After a busy day, Freddie settles down for a good night’s sleep, but this is interrupted by a series of short dreams about animals that seem to be getting bigger and bigger every time he falls back to sleep. In the end, a really big surprise is waiting for Freddie, but is this another dream or something different and very real indeed?

It is thought that from a very young age, a child may begin to experience short but very vivid dreams that heavily feature animals. As they grow, these dreams become longer and more complex, but how can you possibly explain to a young child what dreams are and why they are not real? Perhaps Freddie’s experiences may go some way to help to explain this mystery.

Fru Fools Greedy Hoo!

Hoo, the greedy witch, was in trouble. She loved fly soup, but she was going blind and this made her a bad hunter of flies. But nothing could stop a nasty, greedy witch. She knew frogs loved flies too, so she waited until they lashed their tongues at flies. And just as they were about to zap them, Hoo swooped low and snatched all the flies. Fru, the cleverest of the frogs comes up with a plan to fool the greedy witch. Will he succeed or will all the frogs be denied their favourite food forever?

Frigity, the Witch: Potions Class

A witch who’s good at mixing potions is a useful witch!

All promising witches must acquire the knowledge of potions and their use, whether it’s for treating natural ailments such as warts, fungal-infested toes or gassy stomachs to transforming obnoxious people to frogs. However, care is needed in the potions class because mixing the wrong potions together may result in catastrophe i.e. blowing up the school along with everyone in it!

Frigity is a budding witch who attends an enchanted school for promising witches in the mystical land of Flume. Frigity would be the first to admit she is not the most naturally-gifted witch student to have stepped into the renowned witch school, but nevertheless tries her best.

When Frigity is given a dreaded potions test she unwisely decides to improvise, and trouble begins…

Join Frigity, the witch, on another turbulent fun-filled adventure!

Frigity, the Witch: Flying Broomstick

A budding witch called Frigity attends an enchanted school for promising witches in the mystical land of Flume. Frigity would be the first to admit she is not the most naturally gifted witch student to have stepped into the renowned witch school, but nevertheless, Frigity tries her best.

If truth be known, before aspiring witches don their first witch dress, prior to proudly receiving their pointy black hats, before envisaging their first successful magic spell or before imagining mixing their first potion, every hopeful witch fantasises of the day she takes flight on her very own broomstick.

For a young witch, nothing is more rewarding than to fly high into the sky amongst the fluffy clouds and let the world pass them by far below, BUT NOTE, not all witch broomsticks are made the same! Just like people, each flying broomstick has its own personality. The majority are nice, some are stubborn, a few are nasty and a handful have a wicked sense of humour. Some broomsticks are painfully slow through the air and others are blurringly fast.

The auspicious day had finally arrived when the ebullient witches attending witch school are going to be presented with their long awaited witch brooms. Will Frigity the witch receive the flying broomstick of her dreams or will she be handed her worst nightmare? Throw in a hungry monster who loves to eat witches for breakfast, dinner or supper, Frigity is once again involved in another marvellous adventure.

Fred the Fly

Some things in life can be quite annoying at times - like flies, spiders, and mosquitoes.

However, it is important to remember that every living thing is trying to make its way through life in the best way it can. We all are.

Some lives are pretty tricky though. And you know, we have all annoyed someone at some point – even you have – but that doesn’t mean that we are bad and deserve to be squished!

This is a little story about some things which you might have experienced… and it might make you think a little differently about them. Or it might not. That is for you to decide.

The best way to find out is to read this book - or ask someone kind to read it to you, maybe when you’re in your bed, ready for a nice snooze.

Hopefully you will enjoy the story, and sleep well.

Frank the Fairy and the Sad Teeth

A story that adults and children can laugh along with and read again and again.

Forever Bear

Do you talk to your teddy bear? Does your teddy bear share your secrets?

Forever Bear depicts a teddy bear taking on the role of confidant, companion and advisor.

The opening abundance of colour and joy introduces the relationship. Ted knows the ‘why’ of everything and shares in the inner and outer life of the child, whether at tea, in the bath or asleep.

If Ted could talk transitions like magic into him actually speaking, coming at the critical moment of the child’s sadness at the loss of their nan. There is a sharing of secrets. The sensitivity of the child not wanting to upset her mother is poignant.

The mystery and strength portrayed in Forever Bear brings the discussion of death as a natural progression. 

Fleo, Master of All Men

Fleo is a very talented flea, with impeccable cooking skills. Differently to all other fleas within the flea kingdom, Fleo was a vegan, not by choice, but due to his intolerance to blood, and all other animal products, which he could never stomach. Whenever Fleo saw blood as a child, he would faint.

Fleo is loved by all in the animal kingdom for his kindness. His kindness would not only make him loved and famous but would ultimately save his life.

After his sudden disappearance, his absence brought out the respect of animals across the animal world, and made them realise the importance of appreciating what they have before it is lost.
