It is always a good idea to check out all the video's before you let the children watch them as it is possible for the odd "Roadrunner" to get past
And
to start us off on this great anventure is a few songs with Danny Kaye playing one of the greatest
storytellers, of all time, Hans Christian Andersen. There is also a nice little addition to the end. Enjoy,
so pull up your Princess Chair, snuggle down and sing along with Danny Kay. xxx

Charlie has found you a lovely rhyming story about a Hedghog who was really a Prince
Hi! I'm Charlie,
One of the few remaining American chestnuts. We were once an important part of the forest.But when we disappeared, many animals lost their homes and favorite food.My family tree scrapbook tells this story. Will it have a happy ending? That could depend on YOU!
I would also like to dedicate this story to Charlie the son of my niece Jody and her husband Den, and my Sister Kath's first grandson. Charlie is the first animal story I ever wrote, I was probably about ten years old. If you would like a story about your pet? Get Mummy or Daddy to drop me an email, saying what kind of animal he/she would like a story about, and we’ll see what adventure we can put them in, when I write my next adventure.
Charlie has some wonderful Video's on his tv player
Before
writing the new Charlie Story I have given you a really great piece of
information for you to pass on to your Mum and Dad. It's about Clowns
and especially an old one called Joseph "Joey"
Grimaldi. I am sure that your gran and grandad could tell you all about
him, though even they would have only read about him in books

The Missing Danish Pastries
Down at the bottom of the garden, A Danish Goblin dwelled. And on, one, hot and windy day, He screamed! and then he yelled! "Who's stole my Danish Pastries? And nicked my strawberry flan? I'm undone, quite besides myself, I, will have to make a plan."
The Elfin Artist
In a glade of an Elfin Forest when Sussex was Eden-new, I came on an Elvish Painter and watched as his picture grew. A harebell nodded beside him. he dipt his brush in the dew.
A Fairy Came To Tea Last Night
A Fairy flew down to tea last night, she was wearing a gossamer gown. But instead of her looking happy, she was wearing a terrible frown. Little Bird, what are you Singing? Little bird, what are you singing? I used to sing such simple tunes about love, These are just few of the wonderful rhymes at Flora's Fauna. xx
THE BEE AND THE SNAIL
"Hurry up, hurry up!" said the bee to the snail. It really is quite
shocking the way you crawl; I have flown half a mile in the teeth of
the gale, why you have not moved an inch away from the wall."
Up the sleepy village street, Searching for a face to greet Comes the wind with footsteps fleet.
"Who likes raindrops?" said the rain, when the ground was parched and dry:
The Flower and the Star
The flowers are very near to me The stars are far away; but yet their loveliness I see In light and shining ray

Pacman and Mario the best with Donkey Kong a close third. } I hope these will interest you all and they are
to be done with the help of your older brothers and sisters as well as
Mum and Dad, so you can print off the page you want and then set to and
get them done.

never going to believe this but I have also put the one and only Mr Men on
this 2nd video picture show now. I decided that whenever I am working, (she
calls it playing,) with my youngest grand daughter that I end up
covered in glue all over me, paint all over me, just like Mr Messy.
Then after she has gone back home to her Mummy, I become Mr Tidy, and
Mr Sleepy if there is one. So why not a thirty minute break to look at
some of the Mr Men antic's. Next a bit of relaxation making a Pizza with the help of top chef John Mitzewich. Chicago Deep Dish Pizza
Hi,
I'm Chef John Mitzewich for About.com, today I'm going to show you how
to put together the famous deep-dish, stuffed Chicago-style pizza.

THE AMBITIOUS OGRESS Brand new story for all Dexter fans

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanah Lee.

And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff.
Dexter the Dragon and the Ogre's Battle
Dexter lived in a cave; he had lived in a cave all of his life apart from when he went on holiday, and that wasn't very often. In fact it was so "not often" that poor Dexter couldn't remember when his last holiday was or even where he went to for it.
FUN QUIZ from Dadazi Every question has a funny but logical answer.

What animal is grey and has a trunk?

Come and pay me a visit in Pontybodkyn, I am sure I will be able to make you some Welsh Cakes and even a dish of Cawl if it's cold. I'm afraid I don't have many scenes from Ponty but there is plenty more on Dexters Cinema this week
THE ELVIN COW
Any
one who has ever visited Wales will remember that one feature of its
landscape, as seen from the top of any of the wild Welsh moutains, is
the number of beautiful little lakes, the lake often nestling in some
hollow close to the peak itself: and as you look down into the water,
the colours on its surface shift and change every moment, as the cloud
and mist, the sunshine and shadow, sweep to and fro above it.
I'm afraid Barbie is busy dancing with her sisters, in her palace, at the bottom of this page.

A Horse That Wore Snow Shoes
Mr. Brown had to go to his camp at Pine Tree Valley, which is in

Jealous, of Santa being the Star of Christmas. Anticipation, of when Santa dies, Crying, will all the children be, Kicking, with laughter, will be me. Fortunately I still take part in Winter, Raising the colour of the fields, making them White, Orange and Red are my worst colours for they make everything go.

Hello welcome to A Children's Treasury. A few of the poems on this page have come from a book called
THE CHILDREN'S TREASURY Beautiful Dreamer The Magic Medicine A Child like SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD A FROG HE WOULD A WOOING GO, HEIGHO! SAYS ANTHONY ROWLEY Miss Molly had a Dolly. I bet you have not heard this one before THE PERFECT BODY "Said little hands to little feet, you grow bigger every day." of Pictures and Stories. It
