Seven fantastical stories await readers young and old!
This sumptuously illustrated collection of delightful tales begins with a six-sliced saga of the Shady Bay Scuttlers and their discovery of a pie! Nasher the Nasty and his ratty pirate mates can’t believe their beady little eyes.
The next is a history of Sea Monsters large and small, and whether in fact they exist at all? These Sea Monsters will surprise and enchant you.
What follows is a house by the bay which goes off on an adventure with a cow to drive it and a hen as a lookout!
Did you know trees don’t enjoy being all tidy in rows? The trees in Once Upon A Harbour have a perfectly glorious solution…
To round off this wonderful collection of wee rhyming stories, there is the farmer, his pigs and a wolf – but not as we know it. Always remember readers – read the fine print.
This is a collection to be read over and over again. Each tale is unique from the other, and so much fun to share. Action, adventure, monsters and mayhem is in the mix, rascally rats make nefarious plans, and monsters model frocks.
There really is something for everyone in this collection, but choosing a favourite will be difficult.
From celebrated author (NZOM) Fiona Farrell, and multi international award winning author-illustrator David Elliot, Once Upon A Harbour has a textured hardback cover, with nearly 90 illustrations of which many are full page spreads.
Absolutely gorgeous and the perfect gift for any child. Guaranteed to bring laughter to any story time, on a knee, in a classroom, or before lights out at night.
