Sixteen wholesome stories encourage friendship, kindness, heroism, justice, and above all, a love of nature and respect for creatures of the wild. They also cover vanity, pride, wilfulness, bullying, boasting, mischievous pranks, and their karmic comeback. The tales have gentle moral pointers that show the consequences of specific actions, like, “Whatever you do, will come back on you.”

The book will appeal to lovers of Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit,the Brambly Hedge books, and The Wind in the Willows.

The Adventures of Jimmy Crikey: Radioactive! by Wallace E Briggs

Jimmy Crikey, the orphaned alien chose to make his life in Roombelow, on Earth. He is not magical, but he has unique skills that come in useful when his friends need help.
Roombelow suffers from the after-effects of the rock-chewing Scarab beatles and even the Aquamites’ world was crumbling.
A hole appeared in the Aquamites’ Emerald Lake. The lake began to empty and thirty Aquamites were swept away to end up in the lake of the Tritians.
Rescue cannot come soon enough because the Tritians live in a radioactive environment that poisons the young Aquamites, and Jimmy’s close friend Annison is in trouble.
Jimmy organised rescue for the young Aquamites by his advanced, home race from the star world of Attalia. Twenty-eight Aquamites were saved, but one was beyond help. Annison refused assistance until all her friends were treated. As a result, Annison slipped into a coma from which the Attalians could not revive her.
Annison is doomed to a living death unless Jimmy can call upon aid from a higher authority.
