One not-so-tough dragon must face his fears – he must learn to fly. Through the friendship of our young hero, and a good old-fashioned adventure in the wild woods, the dragon realises that courage comes in many forms. After all, sometimes the bravest thing you can do is to follow your dreams.
Have you ever found a penguin in your garden? No, us neither. But that’s exactly what happens to one child in this heart-warming tale of friendship. After meeting a glum penguin, our hero embarks on a quest to find the bird’s Happy. And, thanks to fiddle-playing foxes and poetry-reading moles, together they may just stumble on the meaning of happiness.
Desperate for love and cuddles, a lonely bear cub does something rather naughty – he tells a lie. But pretending to be a cuddly toy proves to be harder than he expected. After all, unlike toys, real bears need to eat and sleep and … answer calls of nature! In this fun and light-hearted adventure, the little bear learns that it’s always better to be honest.
Nothing will go right for one poor sea turtle. As his day goes from bad to worse, he keeps losing his cool. Luckily a wise new friend is on hand to teach some handy tips on how to remain calm. Tranquil and gentle, espousing the virtue of calmness, this is the perfect story to read cuddled up in bed – or to encourage a bit of peace and quiet!
A Dinosaur is down in the dumps. No matter what he tries, he’s different and doesn’t fit in. But a chance meeting with a new friend changes all that. Thanks to our hero’s kindness and wisdom, the dinosaur learns that it’s our differences that make us special – and that make life so much fun!
A thoughtless young elephant loves to make mischief. But with a spot of help from a hot air balloon, a grumpy crocodile and a brand-new friend, the elephant soon learns to think of others. An uplifting tale about how a little kindness can change the world.
