On the Feast of Stephen

 

 

It's rotten having a birthday just before Christmas. 

Sometimes Toby gets just one present for both his birthday and Christmas. Sometimes people just give him money because they've run out of present ideas.  Then when he comes to spend that money there's hardly anything left in the shops. It’s the same this year. He can't find any Lego bricks he wants. 

An old man who reminds him of his Grandpa Jack is sitting cold and hungry on the street. Toby thinks of another use for his birthday money.  What he does afterwards reminds his Grandpa Jack of a well-known Christmas song.  

On the Feast of Stephen by Gill and Ashleigh James is a feel-good story for early readers.

This is a captivating read for young children, with plenty of pace and current themes that are relevant to today's youngsters. It's a tale of knowing right from wrong, fairness and the joy of doing the right thing. Those fairies are definitely 'sorted' and not all monsters are bad!

Youngsters will be believers in magic with this modern fairy tale featuring the Wonderful Wide Web, real magic bubbles, Beaming Eyes and holograms. Set in ordinary lives and families, Wendy Beasley makes sure her readers can identify with her characters and their very real experiences of both love and care, but also the challenges of self-image, loneliness and bullying. These are written from within the safety of the imaginative fairy story, where all is redeemed and good prevails. There is wildlife and the friendship of a devoted dog, and a wealth of magic for all! Highly recommended!

Yes, it's official – Marty is my new favourite monster! This is a thoughtful and endearing read, sprinkled with magic and full of wisdom. Charlotte and her adventures show us the importance of tolerance, kindness and friendship whilst exploring the trials and difficulties we face in life – loneliness, bullying and fragile self-esteem in an image-obsessed world.
