Good Sportsmanship Is Fun is a children's book where Badsport Bob cheats and is rude and therefore none of the other Goodness Gracious Club kids want to play with him. Finally, when Bob is reduced to tears because he's all by himself, Jason saves the day by teaching him proper manners in sports. Jason shows him to politely wait his turn, to share encouraging words, and to congratulate his opponent when they do well. Bob finally absorbs these lessons and goes on to practice good manners while playing nicely with the other children who end up throwing him a cake party.

Rumble, Tumble and Titch, three cute koala bears, are just trying to live a normal life in the Australian bushlands. As the eldest, Rumble is wise, responsible and always serious. Tumble is loveable, shy and coy, but should not be underestimated. Titch, the brave one, often acts before thinking of the consequences, but is very protective of his brother and sister. Although they can sometimes act as many siblings do, these cuddly bears truly love each other. One day a violent storm separated the three koalas from their mother, Rosalie, leaving them alone and scared. The three are rescued and transported to London Zoo, where they meet Monty, a zookeeper, whose loyal and trustworthy nature quickly turns him into the koalas' best friend. Monty helps the koalas in this adventure by travelling back to Australia to find their mother, who they believe is still alive. Will the "furry three" be able to overcome the obstacles ahead in order to find their lost mother? Chris Paling was born and raised in the County of Lincolnshire, England.
