Eco-wolf and the Three Pigs
Like, HUFF and PUFF, man! Eco-Wolf knows it's important to give Mother Nature RESPECT. Unlike the three big bad pigs, and their pesky polluting plans... The ultimate eco-tale for kids.
QUOTE - by A Pearson
A brilliant, laugh out loud story.
The Rather Small Turnip
One teeny-tiny turnip makes a rather measly meal for the greedy farmer. He wants to munch on a much bigger lunch...
QUOTE - by A teacher from West London
As a teacher of 7 & 8 year olds, I have to write to say that the Seriously Silly Stories have been THE favourite of my class this year. They were so inspired as to persuade me to adapt a story, 'Snow White and the Seven Aliens' for a school assembly last month. It was a terrific hit with the rest of the schooll.We have read the stories several times and enjoy both the humour and morality of some of the tales. We have even discussed some of the relevant topics in Circle Time during our PSHE lessons. I have recommended the book to several parents and other staff. A definite hit, I will be using it again with my new class in September
Daft Jack and the Bean Stack
Daft Jack is such a silly-billy. Who else would swap a cow for some baked beans – and think it's his lucky day?
QUOTE - by BOOKS FOR KEEPS
Daft Jack and his mother lived under a cow in a field: 'His mum slept at the front end . . . and Jack slept at the udder end.' In this side-splitting tale we learn how Jack and his mother swap their exclusive milk diet for one of baked beans, how Jack builds his beanstack and weans the giant from his exclusive diet of children. The liberties taken with the stories and their general silliness should seduce even the most reluctant readers over seven. The text is never overwhelming thanks to Arthur Robins' black and white cartoony illustrations which are adult in style with action and humour aplenty and were clearly executed with much enjoyment. This excellent production should run and run
The Fried Piper of Hamstring
The Mayor of Hamstring is the bossiest man in the world. He loves making up rules and he's banned chocolate, chattering, even CHIPS! The children are FED UP. They want FUN and FRIED FOOD. And that's where the Fried Piper comes in...

Little Red Riding Wolf
The Big Bad Girl is always teasing Little Wolfie. She thinks her naughty tricks are funny – but who's going to get the last laugh?
QUOTE - by A Customer
From the opening sentence we knew that this was going to be a great read. The characters really came alive in our imagination and we lived through the action with them, cheering them on (or hissing) at every turn. This is a book for any child who enjoys a good story, well told and with brilliant one-liners! It also appeals to the child in the (much) older reader. The plot is deliciously reworked with twists to keep even those of us who were heard to say that 'fairy tales are babyish' engrossed to the end. We are now in hot pursuit of others in the series.
