Vogler Burchett and Leighton Noyes: Gargoylz put on a show


"Da waren zwei Buben und die Gargoylz waren die Freunde. Sie sind nicht in die Klasse gegangen, weil sie draußen waren bei den Gargolyz. Da war eine Assembly und die haben das nicht mögen. Die Gargoylz sind immer von der Kirche weggelaufen. Dann sind sie zu den Buben gegangen. Sie haben gespielt. Sie haben eine Christmas Show gehabt und sie haben der 'woodcutter' sein wollen, aber sie haben nicht können. Die Frau Lehrerin hat gesagt, sie können der Wolf sein. Das war Red Riding Hood - Rotkäppchen."

Max and Ben are in the school play, and the Gargoylz are very excited. But will Ben remember his lines? Will the wolf costume be fierce
enough? And what happens when the Gargoylz decide they want starring roles too? The show must go on!

Jonathan Emmett & Adrian Reynolds: Someone bigger

Sam and Dad have made a kite. They have made it large. They have made it light. They go out on a windy day to see if they can fly it but the wind blows hard and Dad thinks Sam's too small to fly the kite. It needs someone bigger - or does it?

David Bedford: It's a George thing

George spends most of his time with his friends Peachy (a gorilla) and Moon (a lion). Peachy and Moon are very boysy boys given to body-building and weight-lifting. Neither of these are George's thing - but what is? One day, walking home from another morale-crushing session of Rocks (weight-lifting), he hears some music coming from Priscilla the giraffe's river-boat. George's reaction is instinctive. This zebra was just made to boogie. He's a fantastic dancer! Trouble is, what are his friends going to make of it? A funny story about friends, fellowship, finding your own 'thing', and some very fancy footwork!

Nick Butterworth: QPootle5

Q Pootle 5 is on his way to a moon party when his rocket falls to Earth in need of some repairs! Q Pootle 5 thinks he knows what the problem is, in fact he is sure. The problem is that the rocket is broken, it needs a new rocket booster. But where on earth will this little alien find a rocket booster ? A green earthing comes along but he can't help and neither can three birds. Perhaps Colin the Cat might be able to help -- when he's finished his dinner that is!

Ann Bryant and Kate Sheppard: But, Mum!

"Es geht um eine Spinne in einer Badewanne. Der Bub kann nicht baden gehen und die Mama hat vergessen, die Spinne herausnehmen, aus dem Bad. Dann nimmt die Mama das heraus und das ist das Ende. Die Geschichte ist lustig, weil das lustig ist, dass der Bub nicht baden gehen kann. Das Buch reimt sich und ich hab es lieber, wenn sich Bücher reimen."

'...."There's a spider in the bath, Mum,
and its legs are fat and hairy!"
"Well, move it then!" said Mum.
"Yes, but Mum, it's really scary!"

Will Jamie ever get rid of the spider?'

Francesca Simon: Horrid Henry

"Das Buch gefällt mir und es ist mein liebstes Buch. Es gefällt mir am besten, weil es viele Geschichten hat. Die Geschichten sind lustig, weil ich mag den Perfect Peter gerne, weil der immer brav ist. Aber wenn der Horrid Henry an dem einen Tag brav ist, dann mag ich den Horrid Henry."

More stories about Horrid Henry. Stories include: Horrid Henry's Christmas Presents, Horrid Henry's Car Journey, Perfect Peter's Horrid Day, Horrid Henry Runs Away, Horrid Henry Eats a Vegetable, Horrid Henry Goes Shopping, Horrid Henry's Hobby, Horrid Henry's Bathtime, Horrid Henry's Perfect Day, Horrid Henry and the Mega-Mean Time Machine.

Francesca Simon: Horrid Henry

"Das Buch gefällt mir besser, weil da kann man die Zeichnungen und die Zeilen sehen. Ich mag am liebsten 'Horrid Henry's Sleepover', weil ihm der Hund das Essen wegnimmt."

Two complete books - Horrid Henry and the double-award-winning Horrid Henry's Stinkbomb - enhanced by Miranda Richardson's inspired reading and really horrid music and sound effects. Horrid Henry is dragged to a dance class, makes disgusting Glop with Moody Margaret, discovers he doesn't like camping and tries to get even with his brother Peter. A stinkbomb becomes a deadly weapon in Henry's war with Moody Margaret, he wins the school reading competition, goes for a sleepover and sees Miss Battle-Axe ticked off by the Head when he knows it was all his fault.

Postman Pat

"Ich höre mir die schon gerne an, weil die immer die gleiche Musik haben. Alles andere mag ich. 'Postman Pat gets a pet' mag ich gerne, weil da eine Maus ist. Die Maus geht aus dem Käfig heraus. In dem Bus geht sie heraus. Die Leute im Bus schrecken sich, weil es kitzelt. Und das ist lustig."

Postman Pat, the world's most famous postman and his black and white cat, Jess, deliver a fantastic package of fun and adventure in this great triple CD travel pack. This collection features recordings of the original Postman Pat television series along with "Postman Pat gets a pet"....

Ian Whybrow: Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs

"Es gefällt mir schon, weil da Dinosaurier sind. 'Makes a splash' mag ich gerne. Das mag ich, weil das Wasser hat."

The collection contains some of the popular Harry stories. Charmingly read by Andrew Sachs, these stories feature specially composed music, lots of noises and amusing sound effects, and a theme tune that will have Harry fans roaring with delight - Raaaaah!!!
