This self-help guide explains how hands can serve as a reminder of 10 essential life skills. This is literally the hands-on approach to the demands and challenges of daily life. The must-have life skills on the Helping Hands are grouped in pairs: creative and critical thinking, communication and caring; decision making and problem solving; expressing emotions and reducing stress; self-awareness and empathy. Each skill is represented by a finger and its pair is the equivalent finger on the other hand. Essential elements of each skill are explained in simple terms and summarised visually as small pictures, which are later reduced to symbols small enough to fit on fingertips! Each skill is clearly explained before advice is given on how to apply it. How life skills work together is explained and everyday examples are given to show how life skills are put into practice, for example, making friends, dealing with bullies and getting on with one's family. Pictures and symbols illustrate the skills and the text is clear and concise. All of this together with the Helping Hands poem ensures that even quite young readers can remember the important points. Get to Grips with the Helping Hands builds on the experience gained by the author during almost a decade of work with the World Health Organisation in Geneva. As Technical Officer of the WHO Life Skills Project and editor of the WHO Newsletter, Skills for Life, she collaborated with international experts and other UN agencies, notably UNICEF, to support the advancement of life-skills education in national level initiatives.

Hedgerow Capers is all about a group of friends who live in Hedgerow Village. Just like children, they have lots of fun playing and making things and getting up to all sorts of capers. Timmy and Tommy Mouse have made friends with Cyril the Squirrel, Millie the Mole, Vicky the Vole and Reggie the Rat. They are great friends and do most things together, even catching chickenpox! The book is written in a way that it can be read by adults to children or children can read it on their own. The stories are all rhyming and easy for a child to memorize a few lines at a time, which in today's education with children now being introduced more to poetry, can be a great learning aid.

The second in an enchanting trilogy of books for children, The Quest follows the parallel adventures of Dandelion as he goes to find out what happened to his beloved mamananna s family, and those of the Right Honorable William John Blight who had ventured into the dark continent of Africa to rescue the Hon. Sir Stanley Stanton who went missing in the jungle some twenty years before. The Quest reunites us with many of the delightful characters we encountered in Book One, including Dandelion, accompanied on his adventures by his angel Chamomile, who refuses to let him go on his own. They follow a strange road, that leads them into what they assume is an enormous rabbit hole, and rest up for the night. The rabbit hole turns out to be a railway tunnel and they wake in fright from the deafening dragon train. The Quest is the second book in this delightful children s trilogy.

Triggtrogg Farm is an imaginative and lively fantasy adventure story, filled with action and lightened by a sense of humour which ranges from the sturdy to the anarchic by way of spectacular, broad comedy. In conceptual terms it isn t the most original children s story ever written, containing as it does so many archetypal elements (the secret entrance to a magical land, for example, and the struggle to free a repressed people). But what makes it outstanding is the sheer verve of the narrative, the rich characterisation and the comedy.
