Join me for a reading of The Hospital Dog

After their breakfast and a swim in the sea, Dot and her owner Rose jump on the bus to the hospital. Dot loves visiting the children of Wallaby Ward and they’re always pleased to see her too; from a crying baby to a bored teenager – a pat, a stroke and a cuddle with Dot cheers everyone up. But the work of the hospital dog doesn’t stop there and when one of her patients is in trouble, it’s up to Dot to save the day!

Join me for a reading of I'm Sure I Saw A Dinosaur

"One foggy, groggy morning

By the salty, splashy sea

I'm sure I saw a dinosaur

And I'm sure that he saw me."

But there's more to this story than meets the eye. Can there really be a dinosaur at Sandy Bottom End? Or is someone up to something...

Join me for a reading of Monkey Puzzle

Can butterfly help little monkey find his mum? Yes, finally, but only after a lot of trial and error as butterfly misunderstands monkey’s descriptions and leads him to all sorts of unsuitable animals.

Join me for a reading of The Smeds and Smoos:

The Smeds (who are red) never mix with the Smoos (who are blue).

So when a young Smed and Smoo fall in love, their families strongly disapprove.

But peace is restored and love conquers all in this happiest of love stories.There’s even a gorgeous purple baby to celebrate!

It's Mr Large's birthday, and Mrs Large is planning a quiet night in- without any children. But in the Large household, things never go according to plan.
