From the I Am A Little... series - a series of delightful books each concentrating on a different animal. The beautiful illustrations make these titles particularly appealing, with just enough detail to draw adults and children alike into the animal's world. In this story, children are introduced to the world of the fox, as one cub explores his habitat and meets all the other animals who are his neighbours. These books are perfect for children who have just learnt to read, as most of the words are monosyllabic and repeated, to aid memory retention, whilst those which are longer are phonetic, which expands both vocabulary and knowledge. The format of these books is ideal for children wanting to read and establish independence from their parents, as they are small in size, perfect for small hands, and are presented like an adult publication, which boosts confidence in those engaging on independent reading.

These thirty tales depict the young life of Jesus in legend. The author goes back to the beginning, before Jesus was born, through his life as a baby and a young boy, and on up to his appearance in the Temple. This progression tells the story in a new way, acting as a complement to the New Testament narrative where there is only sparse information about Jesus' childhood. This young Jesus is not the curly-headed child with a halo that we have come to expect: he is more like the boy next door. Even Mary is not quite the sort of lady who would expect our "Ave Marias", - although she is clearly deserving of them. The author's aim is to make the stories and the characters real and identifiable for young readers. "I think my Christchild," says Christina Sewell, "is all the better for being human." Ideal for prize-givings and gifts, this book brings the story of Christ to life. The stories are illustrated with high-quality line drawings, which, by their detached and decorative nature, make the book suitable for adult readers as well as children. <img src=../images/outlink.gif> Download the <a href=legends_contents.pdf>Contents and Preface</a> here (PDF, 12 KB). <img src=../images/outlink.gif> Download <a href=legends_extract1.pdf>Story 15 - The Legend of the Holly Tree</a> here (PDF, 13 KB). <img src=../images/outlink.gif> Download <a href=legends_extract2.pdf>Story 28 - A Present for Mary</a> here (PDF, 15 KB).
