One night when the moon shone full in the sky
Baboon tried to jump there, he jumped so high,
But the moon is as high as high can be….
Baboon soon realises that the moon is a lot further away than it seems. Undaunted, he remains steadfastly determined to get there. His antics make hilarious reading and portray just how far determination can take you.
The Cross with us Rhinoceros
‘I think that great rhinoceros
Is very, very cross with us;
VERY, VERY cross with us,’ said I.

He’s charging down on top of us.

When a group of young adventurers discover a lone rhinoceros, panic sets in and they run for safety.
However, as we so often learn in life, things are not always quite the way they seem. A rollicking story-rhyme that will hold you enthralled until the very end.
Hoppy Christmas story book
It was Christmas and Santa was traveling the world
With a gift for every boy and girl.

Santa got stuck in the Okavango,
In mud as mushy as an over-ripe mango.
Stuck in the mud and sinking fast,
Would this Christmas be the last?
An enchanting story, which teaches the lesson, that being biggest doesn’t mean being the best.

This tale of that tail goes right back to the very beginning in racing to a most amusing, in all senses, end.
