"Pammy the Pig" tells a story of Molly, a farmer's daughter, and a little piglet named Pammy who is "different," with her straight tail instead of a curly one like the rest of the piglets. All of the farm animals laugh at her, but a bad storm approaches and the animals are in danger. No need to fear as Pammy the Pig saves the day - with her straight tail nonetheless! Children enjoy the book, as they meet the different animals and read about the emotions Pammy experiences as she is shunned by the animals. In the end, it's Pammy who saves the day, and the farm animals learn a valuable lesson: it is okay to be different. The farm animals learned this, and so will your child! It's never too early to help children learn the valuable lesson of embracing differences and learning to accept others as they are - even if they are different! I hope that you and your child enjoy this book as much as Pam Fisher envisions. Visit both Pam and Pammy online at www.pammythepig.com.

Product DescriptionThe Faerie King is an epic story for anyone over 12 who likes fast paced action, plot twists, and excitement. The opening of the tale rambles through the gentle countryside of the Greene Land as you would expect a fairy story to do, but unknown to the protagonist, Pete, who is a young inventor, the idyll is already fractured by an invasion from across the sea. He discovers that a chance encounter with a fairy which gave him minor magical powers has also made him a target for all the invaders in the Land and before long both he and his friend, Tarquin are fighting for their lives against the Werelock.The friends are tricked into joining the Fair Folk in their fight against the Invaders, starting a sequence of deadly adventures for each of them. Now separated, Tarquin finds himself storming a formidable Fortress defended by spectral Bards, while Pete is pursued by the Shades of the Battle of Eothon who are intent on tearing his flesh from his bones.In the course of their journeys the friends travel through tranquil woodlands lit by shafts of sunlight, pick their way through forests of slippery stalagmites in ink-black caverns, and attend a royal banquet to feed off swans and wild boar.In later books our heroes are faced with the insensate rapacity of wolves, the primordial fear of the labyrinth, the dread of a witch’s wrath, the half-remembered horrors of the Abyss, and the terror of being the target of a swooping dragon.The chief protagonist, Pete, though modest, retiring and pacifist by nature is also brave, handsome and indefatigable in defending those he loves. But will he be able to thwart the invasion, or is the Greene Land right to put its faith in his heroic friend Tarquin? The third book of the Faerie King Quartet is more sombre and ominous than its predecessors as both Pete and Tarquin face the prospect of challenging the Werelock for the freedom of the Greene Land.Pete’s path leads him to join the sinister cadre of robed Invaders known as Bards. He has to pass a selection process that is fatal to almost all, but is determined to succeed. Tarquin makes his preparations for a final great battle that will either drive the Werelock from their shores or wipe out all the opposition the Greeners Land are able to offer.

Three fifteen-year-olds hunting for geodes in the desert and coming across a mirage of a forest might be bizarre enough. But when a woman appears in the forest and throws a golden apple into the sand before the mirage blinks and vanishes, Kree, Pip and India soon find themselves with the power to pause time. Idunna, the Norse Goddess of Spring and Rejuvenation, grows the mythical apples that provide the Gods with youth and immortality. Tricked by Loki, she loses her supply of apples, and urgently discards the Kallisti – an all-powerful golden apple created by the Gods - to keep it from enemy hands. Idunna plans to retrieve the apple, without knowing that the teens have already spotted it. Kree, Pip and India discover that simply holding the golden apple and saying 'stop' and 'go' will pause and restart time. . . a pretty amazing thing to be able to do, especially when you accidentally prevent a robbery and save a man’s life. This opens their eyes to the possibilities of the good they could do with the apple. They soon realize, however, that even good deeds and the best intentions can sometimes come at a price.
