Book preview

Hello once again and welcome to my latest book. This is the second book of short stories and poems for children aged 3 to 6.

Many children loved the first book and were really looking forward to more stories. They especially liked the adventures of Stitches. Lots of young children fell in love with Stitches and Tommy and I can see why. They are really fun to read stories of their adventures. When I was writing about Stitches and Tommy I sometimes wished I was there with them. Some of the characters are the creation of Holly Bell from America who asked me to write short adventure stories about them. They have soon become very popular with the children. Holly has done some of the art work herself. You can see some of Holly’s amazing work on Fine Art America. Should you need any artwork done by Holly, you can contact her at: [e-mail]

Just like the last book, this one is also crammed with very short stories for boys and girls. Also short poems they will love and understand. So please read on and enjoy amazing adventures of our characters.

If you have a character of your own and a story to go with it, get in touch. I will put it in my next book and bring it to life. I will of course mention who the story came from and who dreamed up the character. Wouldn’t it be really cool to see your own story in my next book and your name too? So get thinking and get in touch with me at:

Stitches goes to the circus

Off they went to the bus stop to catch the number 12 bus to the circus. It started to rain a little bit as they stood on the bus stop. Tommy was prepared and had brought his umbrella. Stitches would not have remembered to bring it because he was too excited. Along came the number 12 bus and on they climbed to go to town.

As they jumped off the bus they could see a queue of people waiting to go into the circus. Tommy knew the man working there and walked straight to the front with Stitches. They were the first two in the circus tent. They went right to the front and got the best seats. It soon filled up with lots of mums and dads and lots of young children all shouting and screaming.

This was a circus that did not have any animals. The owner thought it was cruel to keep wild animals to show in the circus. But there were many different things to watch; trapeze artists, clowns, acrobats, motorcycles, stilt walkers and so much more. But Stitches really only came to see the clowns being silly. The music started to play after the acrobats had finished. The ring master came out in his top hat and shouted,

Stitches was jumping on his seat as the clowns came out. One of the clowns noticed how excited Stitches was acting. He ran across to Stitches and squirted water right in his
