A gorgeous book of four stories for children, written by a former school librarian at Warranwood (Melbourne Rudolf Steiner School).
Perfect to read to young ones & then become a reader for them once reading themselves.
- Susan Perrow
A collection of stories by that master storyteller, Susan Perrow. They centre around Bangalow, a pretty village in the Northern Rivers area of New South Wales, but truly they can be applied to everywhere which has that little corner of magic for children - and what place doesn't have?
This is the long-awaited reprint of the first book by Susan Perrow, an Australian master story teller in the Waldorf world. She brings 3 stories by other authors.
This is a beautiful book. The illustrations are originally silk paintings of such a standard that they formed a month-long exhibition at the Tweed River Art Gallery, when this book was there launched. It is an environmental tale, set in the caldera of the Mount Warning Volcano (hopefully dormant!) in northern New South Wales. It brings in the elemental beings, and the fairies, interacting them with humans, teaching the humans how to respect a very unusual environment.
These early readers are phonetically based and contain stories that young children will find enjoyable and entertaining. Each story has a beginning, a middle and an ending. The stories are gently humorous while honoring nature, animals and the environment.
The six books use simple words that the early reader will easily grasp. They have been carefully chosen by a reading specialist to help students advance from the short vowels, to the silent 'e', to the vowel combinations. At the back of each book is a list of sight words that should be reviewed with the child before reading the book.
The Secret Pet, by Shelley Davidow is a continuation of the phonetically based early reader series that was recently released by Whole Spirit Press. The Secret Pet is the first chapter book in this series and focuses on the phonetic vowel teams, such as ea,ie,oe,ue, diagraphs, open and closed syllables and more.
The story interweaves the animals from the first six books into a more in depth, entertaining and adventurous story. Shelley's ability to create a humorous and thoughtful story is once again shown in The Secret Pet. Her beautiful drawings bring the story to life and capture the attention of those early or struggling readers and keep them reading until they finish the entire book.

The Bee who lost his Buzz
Pumpkin Crow
Lucy Goose and the Half-Eg
Follow the adventures of Tiptoes Lightly, a fairy who lives in an acorn high up in the branches of a Great Oak Tree. Her tree sits on a knoll overlooking Running River, and she and her friends have a host of adventures. First they help the bee who lost his buzz – snagged on a thorn belonging to grumpy Mr. Cactus!
Then they visit the house of Pine Cone and Pepper Pot and sail down to the sea to untangle Octopus – he’s too young to count his legs properly and gets them mixed up!
They journey up to Snowy Mountain to hear from Jack Frost himself what kind of being he really is – and Jack tells the dramatic tale of how he came to be. Finally, after too many adventures to list here, they find out who the real mother of the half-egg is – one that Lucy Goose found in the mud and is determined to hatch along with her own eggs.

Ompliant’s Owie
Big-Stamp Two-Toes the Barefoot Giant
Accompany Tiptoes Lightly and her many friends as they journey through springtime. Ompliant the Elephant gets to see Jemima Mouse’s babies (he just can’t believe they are pink with no fur!), but not before his leg has been thoroughly, and humorously, pulled by Chit-Chat the Chipmunk.
However, Ompliant’s feet are big, and the very next day Tom Nutcracker bravely follows the giant footprints deep into the forest – only to get himself hopelessly treed (luckily you-know-who helps him down in the end
Other adventures are had too; such as when Tiptoes meets Spinner the Dolphin and shows him his very first flowers, and Pine Cone and Pepper Pot the gnomes sail down Running River to Pixie Island and hear how the little blue and yellow Forget-me-not got its name. Later, while visiting ‘The Rock’, they are told how this huge boulder came to be sitting in the middle of the forest – because of Big-Stamp Two-Toes the Barefoot Giant, of course!
The Magic Knot is a making-tale comedy, starring Pine Cone and Pepper Pot the gnomes. They decide, since it is soon to be Tiptoes’ birthday and she has no furniture in her little house, to make her one table and three chairs. A simple task for clever gnomes—so we would think! But, from the finding of the ‘perfect’ branch, to getting the table and chairs to the top of the Great Oak Tree where Tiptoes’ acorn house swings back and forth, things go awry. On the way they get the help of a host friends: Ompliant the Elephant, Jeremy Mouse, the Carpenter Ants, Chiron the Pony and Spin-a-lot the Spider (to name just a few). Finally, when her surprise birthday party finally rolls around, Tiptoes tells the enchanting tale of how she came to live in the Great Oak Tree as a daughter of Father Sun and Mother Wind.
An additional, brief, story, The Tale of None, is found at the end of the book. It is about a ladybug who had no spots—none at all!—until she completes her spot-finding journey to India, Africa and America ...
Join Tiptoes Lightly and her friends as they celebrate the best of the autumn festivals: Michaelmas, Halloween, Martinmas, Advent and Christmas. Many adventures are had and festival tales told: at Michaelmas Farmer John recounts ‘The Most Beautiful Dragon in the Whole World’ to his children, Tom Nutcracker and June Berry, and on Christmas day he reads them ‘The Burden Bull of Scotland’.
Tiptoes also tells tales – her favorites being ‘The Myth of Ella-jah’ which recounts how the animals were created, and the story of ‘The Sun-child and the Birds’ which she tells on Christmas eve.
On the way, Jeremy Mouse meets Olivia who lives inside an olive tree, is frightened at Halloween (by a You-know-what!), and almost drowns in Soggy Mire because the ice is too thin for sliding on – luckily he is saved by Mr. Owl the Vegetarian! Finally, Tiptoes and Jeremy Mouse build the first, and finest, snow-mouse the world has ever seen.
