Little Croc and Bird

Little Croc never does what he is told…

Little Croc was always getting into trouble.
He just couldn’t help it!

“Play nicely,” said Mummy Croc.

“Don’t annoy the other animals,” said Daddy Croc.
“I won’t,” said Little Croc…
But he did!

Little Croc just can’t resist teasing the other animals in the jungle. He shouts at the zebras and uses the hippos as stepping stones. He swings on the monkeys’ tails and panics the parrots. He’s so naughty that the other animals start to hide when they see him coming!

That’s when Bird appears and shows Little Croc a much better way of having fun.

Fergus in The Park

Fergus was waiting in the truck for Farmer Bob.

He knew he should stay there, but the park was too tempting.

It looked so cool and inviting that he couldn’t resist.

But the park keeper discovers that Fergus is not on a lead and chases after him. Not only does Fergus have to use all his wits, but he also needs the help of his new-found friends to escape.

“The storyline is simple and the pictures are very engaging, and the moral is an important one - of resourcefulness, co-operation and the resolve to help friends in a fix.”

Fergus the Sea Dog

‘This is the life for me,’ thinks Fergus.

‘It’s so peaceful – no farm animals to bother me…

I would like to be a sea dog, just like Salty.’

When Fergus goes to the seaside with Farmer Bob, he has such fun with his new friend Salty, playing on the beach, chasing seagulls and barking at the waves, that he decides he should be a sea dog too. But when he goes out on a boat trip, Fergus begins to wonder whether the life of a sea dog is really for him…

“Fergus the patch-eyed pup is a winning character.”

Fergus and Marigold

Fergus and the Marigold

Fergus wasn’t pleased. He had been looking forward to having a lazy day. But Mrs Coddle had brought her cat Marigold to stay at the farm for the day. “Humph!” he thought grumpily. “Cats are trouble.”

Fergus finds a quiet corner of the barn to snooze in. Meanwhile, Marigold certainly is trouble. She scares the hens. She chases the ducks. And then she pulls the pigs’ tails. When all the animals start to hide in his barn, Fergus decides it’s time to do something. And a gust of wind brings a surprise for Fergus and Marigold.
