Alphabet Soup: The alphabet in rhyme – A is for Actor/who's learning his part; /B is for Baker/who's baking a tart.
The Bear's Water Picnic: The bear has organised a picnic on the river for his friends. It's the perfect day and everything is going swimmingly until they are disturbed by a loud croaking noise from among the lily pads. It's the frogs! They want to join in, but the friends don't fancy putting up with the noise, so they move on to a quieter part of the lake. Unfortunately they soon find themselves in a spot of bother, and only the frogs can help them!

Meet The Family: Meet Uncle Marvello and Auntie Shazam – magicians extraordinaire ... they can even make your watch disappear. And Cousin Charlie, who cooks up a feast ... then eats it all himself.
Mrs Armitage and the Big Wave: Mrs Armitage arrives on the beach with her surf board and her faithful dog Breakspear, and she paddles out to sea to wait for the big wave. However, she has to return to the beach several times before she is comfortably equipped.
Mrs Armitage Queen of the Road: When Uncle Cosmo buys himself a motorbike and gives Mrs Armitage his boring old car, it soon becomes obvious that her driving skills leave a lot to be desired. As the bumper, the doors, the mudguard and even the roof disappear along the way, the car is transformed into a mean machine and Mrs Armitage becomes Queen of the Road!
Our Village: A collection of poems introducing the memorable residents of a village, including the baker, Mr Crumb, absent-minded Dotty Lou and Mr Mandolini and his dancing bear.
Featherbrains: When Flossie and Bessie escape from the battery farm, they find it difficult to adjust to the outside world.
