This book is a gentle soft friendly book suitable for very young children under three. It introduces them to the concepts of different animals and their features. The theme highlights the mistake of judging too quickly and thus jumping to conclusions. Not only does this show a flaw in the judgement of the Judge but it also closes off the world of opportunities to connect and befriend others at different levels. It is a useful tool to introduce children to this concept for developing relationships as they grow up and widen their horizons. It turns respecting difference on its head and reminds us to celebrate what we have in common. We may not be able to form deep friendships with everyone but the book reminds us that by finding SOMETHING in common however small with people will build the foundations for a peaceful community and enhanced relationships. In short emotional intelligence!

Spectrum

 


A collection of one hundred and ten pieces of flash-fiction and poetry. You probably won’t like all of them, and some of them might even disgust you, or make you uncomfortable. But stick with it. Look at overarching themes within each coloured block. Find the puns in certain titles. Research the colours that you’ve never heard of. Try and work out which stories are complete fabrications, which ones contain nuggets of truth,  and which ones are versions of real life events.

I was completely blown away by this amazing collection. To start with I was very unsure whether it was of my taste, but Christopher really pulled it out of the bag. Clever, very clever. Look forward to seeing what you do next. You've taken writing to a whole new level for me. 
 
A brilliant set of stories, told wonderfully. They challenge the norm and drag you in. At times I felt like an outsider looking into a world I hardly knew. It can make you feel dirty, some uncomfortable moments that will challenge the reader, not a bad thing at all. Highly recommend you buy this book.  
 
Gorgeous and provocative in all the right ways.

Extraordinary


These stories – some light and some dark – were written over several years. A few, such as Henry’s Box, were the result of writing prompts from one of my writing groups, Basildon Writers, while others were sparked by random sights, such as someone’s tattoo, or by snatches of overheard conversation. As for the rest, I can’t recall any particular event triggering them, so can only conclude the initial idea popped into my head when I wasn’t paying attention. And sometimes I find those sort of stories turn out to be the strangest of them all. Whether you prefer light or dark stories, I hope there is something amongst this eclectic collection that will appeal to you.

Dawn Knox has created a lovely mix of horror, sci-fi and gently amusing short stories. These are great small bites to read when you're too busy to swallow a whole book at once - although having said that, I still found it difficult to put down! I found my "I'll just read one story as I eat lunch" turned in to 2 or 3! But I think my overall feeling is that they're so imaginative, far more than the usual run of short stories. Places, times and situations are all such that you might find in a full length novel. A great read.   
 
Fantastic collection of short stories, wasn't sure if these would be my thing as I'm not really a sci fi type girl but I'm so glad I downloaded these as I really enjoyed them, in fact my favourite one of all turned out to be set on a space station lol. Definitely worth spending your pennies on and an author I will be looking out for in the future as I just love her writing. 
 
What can I say, I loved Dawn's first novel and the amazing second novel but this book is in my playing field and I LOVE IT! amazing stories from the mind of someone who knows her topics. You will not be disappointed to go on these journeys and be as amazed as I am. Well Done to the author and I hope She will write more stories like these in the future.
