THE CHIEF OF THE BIRDS

THE GOOD GIANT • Maushop was a giant who stood taller than a tree, and he had lived in the woods on the east coast of North America since the world was young. He kept a giant frog as a pet, and it followed him everywhere!

TIME-TRAVELLING PARTY CRASHER! • Fred loved spending weekends with his granny! They would stream The Big British Cake Bake in the morning and try out recipes in the afternoon.

STREET PARTIES • These events happen when a street or even a whole neighbourhood gets together to celebrate a special occasion!

THE TALKATIVE TORTOISE • Brahma Datta loved the sound of his own voice! He was the king of the city of Benares, and the members of his court were tired of his non-stop chatter.

THE LADY CAT • If you board a swift ship and follow the moon, you will come to a kingdom whose name is now long forgotten. In times past, it was ruled by a king who had three children – a princess and two princes.

THE MIGHTY WIND! • Great gusts tore through the forest, causing chaos for the animals that lived there.

ANNE TELLS HER STORY • Anne was a little baby with big lungs. Her parents said she cried non-stop for her first six weeks!

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT…

THE GREEDY OLD MAN • The hills of Cornwall are supposed to be full of enchanted places! Many tales are told of the giants, pixies, spriggans, mermaids, fairies and witches that are said to haunt that part of England.
