Boko and the Big Red Bag

By Trafford Publishing

Boko is a book. He no longer lives in the childrens section of the library but has been returned to his original owner, Emily, who, with her two grandchildren Ella and Peter and their friend Stephen, has discovered that Boko can talk, and he tells them of his adventures. Emily has made a big red tote with a clear window so that Boko and his two book friends Sylvie and Big Book can go with them to visit a friend of Emilys who has a farm and where they intend to have a picnic. Previously, the books have always been in backpacks or suitcases and have seen very little, but this time they are excited as they can see where they are going and have a real adventure when a goat runs off with the bag while Gran and the children are enjoying their lunch! They have fun visiting all the animals, and Sylvie names a calf.

Chapter One

Boko was a book; he had spent the last two years of his life sitting on the third shelf of the children’s section of the library. Now here he was, standing in Emily’s sitting room, on the shelf next to the television set. Beside him was his new book friend, Sylvie. Her story was very popular with young children, telling of a magic tree and of the fairies and animals who lived among the branches and within the hollows of the big strong trunk.

Boko had an exciting tale to tell too. Once upon a time, there were two children who went on holiday with their parents to a small island. They explored all over the island, and one day, they found a hidden cave in which they discovered some small items of lost treasure and had many adventures scrambling through underground tunnels leading to an old, ruined, and deserted castle. There, they found secret doors leading to a small sandy beach and the remains of an old pirate ship.

Lots of children had loved to read Boko’s story, but he had been badly treated and had become torn and shabby and quite sad until, one day, Emily’s two grandchildren, Ella and Peter, with their friend Stephen, borrowed Boko from the library and discovered he could talk. Although he was not really allowed to speak to humans
