DINOSAURS – ADVENTURE NUMBER FIVE OUT OF EIGHT

It sounds more like an egg hatching, just the same as when Parrot Eagle was born.” They jumped up and realised that the stones they were sitting on were not stones at all, but eggs, really big eggs, and the heat from the campfire had made them hatch. First out popped one Dinosaur and then the other. Eventually Grandad caught the two Dinosaurs and because they were only babies, they did what they were told. But Dinosaurs grow up very, very quickly and in only ten minutes they’d doubled in size and after another ten minutes they’d doubled in size again. “I think it’s time to go,” they all shouted.

THE BIG FISH – ADVENTURE NUMBER TWO OUT OF EIGHT

“We’re going down a bit further,” said the Captain. The scene changed and now there were bigger fish chasing the smaller fish. As they went deeper and deeper the fish got bigger and bigger and suddenly out of the dark, blue water a shark appeared. It circled round the submarine, slowly waving its tail and grinning at them. “I think it’s time to go home,” said the Captain and put more power onto the engine. But then the submarine shuddered and the engine spluttered and stopped.

THE TERRACOTA ARMY – PART TWO- ADVENTURE NUMBER TWO OUT OF EIGHT

The terracotta armies marched all-round the town causing havoc wherever they went. Dogs barked, chickens flew about in their coops, cats climbed trees and even the ducks gave up and flew off. The soldiers bumped into a washing line and a shirt flew off into the wind and landed on a crow. Off flew the crow wearing a big white shirt. A pair of pants soon followed, and a large dog was last seen wearing them, as he ran off into the distance being chased by the pants owner. When all of a sudden, a large fierce green ghost appeared.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Hello to you,

Our son moved to Australia six years ago and we have never met our granddaughter Rebecca in person.  We have posted her one book each month and we talk about nothing else on Skype.

Many thanks

Mary and Mike Bell

Good afternoon

We have just finished reading the chapter to the grandchildren, about the crow wearing a shirt and the dog running off wearing its owners pants  and laughed so much at the idea that we suggested to the grandchildren that they draw the scene.  They both spent nearly an hour drawing, it was quite magical to watch them.  Keep up the good work.

David and Sheila Crawford

Hello,

Michael is our grandson and at six is just about starting to read with a bit of help and he keeps reading the last chapter in the Adventures in America book where he gets the medal for being the bravest boy in America.  We think the picture is of a genuine silver dollar, gold plated, so we bought one, had it gold plated and put in a presentation case from the President of America.  During the day he won’t take it off and even sleeps with it under his pillow.

Keep up the magic

Joanne and Arthur Middleton

Just a note to let you know how much we all enjoyed the stories.  The children thought that the crocodile juggling a piece of chocolate was really funny.

Kelly Winterbottom

Alicia, our daughter, is football mad and when we read her the story about the FA cup final she was entranced and really believed that she scored the winning goal.

Don’t stop writing!!!!!

Jane and Oscar Allan

Hi,

Our daughter Samantha has just read again, for the fifth time, the story  about the baby gorilla Gori, escaping from the zoo and wonder if we could buy a soft toy Gori for her.  She absolutely loved the escape story especially when Gori was reunited with her parents.

Please come back as soon as you can.

Kind regards

Jack Davidson

Good evening

Just started reading the stories to the children and we can’t get the picture of a flock of pigeons line dancing on the goal post out of our heads.  We’ve just ordered all the books.

David and Mary Smith

Hi there,
I just had to write to you and thank you for the books.  My son Winston’s grandparents died before he was born and we have been trying to make a connection for him to my deceased parents.  We have bought all the books and we post him a new one when he has finished the last one.  We tell him that the books come  “from the heavens”  telling him they were  posted by his grandparents.  This has formed the bond we were looking for.

Thanks a lot

Stu and Janet Lord
