Four Seasons with the Poppets

As with any enduring fairy tale, children will want to listen to Four Seasons with the Poppets again and again, to revisit the charming world of the Poppets. The seasonal stories speak to a child’s senses, describing picturesque scenes. In spring, how pretty the forest looked when the flowers were in bloom; in summer, the animals would come visit to hear Margie’s and Millie’s songs; in fall, gathering pine cones for Mother Poppet’s fires; in winter, ‘The roasted acorn smelled just like Christmas dinner should smell.’

Throughout the story are life lessons: appreciation for and conservation of the world around them, inclusion and encouragement of others, teamwork, and neighbourliness. Children are comforted, learning about the continuity of the seasons. “When Father Poppet saw how the sun made the frozen creek look like a sparkling white path, he decided to whittle ice skates for the children next spring, out of soft green wood, that would dry and harden in time for Christmas next winter.”

When children use their imagination, it develops their ability to problem solve.

Yuck! Food is from where...?

On each of the adventures, our characters get caught up in situations sometimes exciting, sometimes dangerous, and sometimes comical. Along with a host of other interesting characters attached to their adventures, these stories are written to help introduce children to a new way of looking at something that may ordinarily present a challenge. The adventures attached to discovering new tastes will have the reader and listener alike drawn into what happens next as both fun and danger await our brother and sister trio on their quest for information about how our food is grown and produced.

Araminta Malarkey: Lion Tamer Extraordinaire

This is a girl who wears pink silk pyjamas and drinks from a bone china cup. She has every single designer to boot and a butler to wake her up. Do not be mistaken, dear reader, that this is a tale of a well-behaved girl, who keeps every toe in line. In fact, quite the opposite you will find, during the tale I had in mind. You see when we encounter a spirit of fire, especially in this day and age, we must all be willing to put judgement aside and prepare to be amazed.

Araminta Malarkey should have been happy with her life, a beautiful house, beautiful things, and adoring parents. Alas, she wants more, to be exact she wishes above all else to become a lion. This story follows Araminta as she behaves very badly, runs away from home, and joins the circus in a bid to become what she has always dreamt of.
