Summary

A kind, elderly couple live a peaceful life in a charming, thatched cottage surrounded by a rambling country garden where nature thrives and is cherished. But their quiet existence is shaken when an ancient wood elf appears to the old man, changing the way they see the world. As the seasons pass, the old man begins to understand nature in ways he never imagined, embarking on a journey of discovery, wonder, and alarm. Yet, the cottage and the old woman hold their own secrets, for the garden isn't the only place where a magical creature is quietly transforming their lives. The Magical Garden will captivate and educate both children and their parents as it blends ancient folklore with a deep appreciation for the natural world. It will inspire children's imaginations and encourage them to explore the outdoors, drawing them into a world of magic that can be found right on their doorstep. If you don't already see the natural world as a magical place, this book will offer you a whole new perspective.

    Off Alexa and Pup go, hand in paw,
Excited to see what the zoo has in store.

Cool giraffes and tigers in boots,
Puffy pandas and elephants with flutes,

Dozing lions and colourful fish,
Penguins tucking into their favourite dish.

Alexa and Pup, the best of friends,
Will there be a treat at the end?

    Gulliver's Travels, originally Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships is a 1726 prose satire by the Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, satirising both human nature and the "travellers' tales" literary subgenre. It is Swift's best-known full-length work and a classic of English literature. The English dramatist John Gay remarked, "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery." The book has been adapted into films, movies and theatrical performances over the centuries. The book was an immediate success, and Swift claimed that he wrote Gulliver's Travels "to vex the world rather than divert it".

    Doodle and her best friend Rosie go on another adventure together. However, the two girls find themselves in a spot of trouble when Doodle follows along with yet again one of Rosies crazy ideas.

'Doodle always went along with Rosies crazy ideas, even if it did mean getting into trouble. That's what was so great about their friendship; At least they were in trouble together.'

Come and join Doodle and Rosie on this adventure and laugh along with the mischief they get themselves into.

Although Doodle has Rett Syndrome, it does not mean she cannot live a life like anyone else and get herself into trouble just like another other child would!

Rett Syndrome is a unique genetic condition caused by the X chromosome having an abnormality. This then causes the brain to develop slightly dissimilar to other brains, which could leave some people without any speech and the ability to walk.
