Children’s books
Lowly Worm and Huckle Cat help Sergeant Murphy direct the traffic; the upstairs dancing school is in full swing and all the shop owners are displaying their wares. But someone is waiting to rob Grocer Cat’s shop. And so begins the pursuit of the thief, but can he be found?
All of the short stories are also gems of comical, laugh aloud fun featuring the minutiae of busy animal characters’ everyday activities. Suitable for age four and upwards.
Families differ in many ways – some like to have many friends, others prefer just one. Similarly some couples like to have many children, others are content with just one.
From baby-bump to the carousel of life, this book gently and humorously takes a move forward to include foster parents, adoption; coping with a new step parent, or even living with two mums or two dads. The well-thought out illustrations blend perfectly with the contents of this fun, inspiring big book to share with ages five and upwards.
Just as the composition of ‘Silent Night’ was a joint effort by Joseph Mohr and Franz Xaver Gruber, this splendid book fittingly is the creation of Austrian Werner Thuswaldner and Australian illustrator Robert Ingpen.
Father Joseph Mohr was a down-to-earth pipe-smoking man of the people who enjoyed a pint with the hardworking boatmen of Oberndorf. In an effort to cheer up the population he combined with music-teacher Franz to compose the now world-famous carol.
Word got out that something special would happen at the Christmas Vigil Mass, and Joseph accompanied the pair on guitar at the first rendition of Silent Night. After one chorus the congregation joined in. The rest is history. It includes a CD featuring Caitlin ni Chualain. Suitable for age eight and upwards.
