This children’s e-book is a celebration of antiquated words that are rarely, if ever used in the 'oh so' busy world of today. Sadly, many ‘babies are being thrown out with the bathwater’ in the name of Progress and amongst them are many 'pearls' of words in dictionaries gathering dust in almost forgotten bookshelves everywhere. Whatever your opinion, whatever your age, this is a book to amuse, entertain, and even educate in a most enjoyable way. Just wrap your tongue around a few of these … [Read more...] about The Gross Gang by Christine Larsen @cdcraftee

If you're a grandparent, a parent, or maybe a special someone who loves to read to the small folk in your life, you will appreciate this book. Here is a celebration of a collection of works by a Grandmother and her Grand-daughter, demonstrating the importance of loving and nurturing each other... and being proud and appreciative of each other's artistic contributions. In this book there are poems, stories, cards and drawings sent to each other, and delightful photographs of the growing … [Read more...] about The Grandest Small Folk Tales by Christine Larsen @cdcraftee

If you knew Ted Bear like Christine has for over 6 decades, you would know that one book about him was never going to be enough for this loveable fellow, who is as demanding as he is delightful. In the fourth book in the 'Small Folk Tales' series, Ted introduces us to his best mates – and he has quite a few. There are new faces like Gertie Galah, Captain Chas and Crow Bear, and a return of some old (very old actually) faithfuls, Gran and Grandpa. Each photo has its own cameo story to amuse and … [Read more...] about Almost Unbearable Tales by Christine Larsen @cdcraftee

Ted Bear is in his senior years now, retired and spending most of his time reminiscing in the chair he once shared with his mother Christine, 60+ years ago. He needs specs these days to fully enjoy this third e-book in the series – 'Small Folk Tales', but don't be misled into thinking Ted Bear lacks spirit in his later years. It was Ted who demanded the 'Esq.' addition to his name (yes, it IS a vanity but at his age, who's going to argue with him?). The same prima donna threatened 'go slow' … [Read more...] about Ted Bear Esq. – his photo album by Christine Larsen @cdcraftee

The sixth and last book in my 'Small Folk Tales' series is one more small collection of tales and rhymes for an 'out loud' reader to share with the smallest of their precious folk, or delightful for the early reader, as well. Once again, this is not a picture book as such, but photos and clipart have been carefully chosen to enhance my words. Cute story names like 'Come Clean Fergus' and 'Missy, the Feline Feastress', and rhymes like 'Jesse the Rocker' will give pleasure and entertainment to … [Read more...] about Tall Tales from the Small Folk Clan by Christine Larsen @cdcraftee

This is the first in my 'Small Folk Tales' series of e-books, an original collection of poems for wee small folk – to capture and enhance their own wondrously fertile imaginations, it is called 'Small Folk Rhymes'. With names like 'Guppy Puppies', 'One Lonesome Shoe' and 'Echidnas are not Kidding', this cheerful verse will delight small hearts, and even if they cannot read yet themselves, the carefully chosen clipart and photos enhance my words, adding their own brand of quirkiness and … [Read more...] about Small Folk Rhymes by Christine Larsen
