    This story tells of how the Jumbalees came to settle on their tropical island in the very beginning, but trouble from their past lies ahead.


Many, many years ago, the Jumbalees were captured from their distant home planet Jumbala by an evil robot race, the Captubots, to be used as servants. While travelling through space an asteroid struck the Captubots spaceship and the capture pod that the Jumbalees were being held in broke away, sending them hurtling into space. After many days travelling they eventually landed on Earth and made their new home on a tropical island.


The Captubots come to Earth to recapture them, but will they be able to escape again?


This series of illustrated stories for kids are about the Jumbalees, a group of colourful young creatures that live and play together on an exotic island close to the ocean. They behave like human children, working together even when they disagree as they make their way through exciting and sometimes scary adventures. Their social interactions help prepare them for dealing with others and the world around them and their loyalty and humour allow them to overcome the obstacles they face. The colourful cartoon illustrations in these storybooks make reading more fun for kids.

    Milly's class has been chosen to represent their school at the local St Patrick's Day parade!
They decide on a float theme of Irish myths and legends, but while Milly thinks she'd be perfect as Queen Maeve, instead she's given the role of the back end of the Brown Bull of Cooley. What could possibly go wrong?!
Quite a lot, as it turns out … but sure, it's totally NOT her fault that Ellie causes a stink, or that Ronan's sliotar goes flying, or that the parade ends in the biggest pile-up Ballybrogan has ever seen …!
