Some snippets The Dragon Rhyme A dragon came from where, I know not. Skin all green; his breath was so hot, It set on fire the gorsy heath And melted all his fang-like teeth. Ashamed, he sought a place to hide, So, found a cave and crept inside Afraid of how he would exist, His teeth so useful, now so missed............. A skunk with an awful aroma Had a friend by the name of Big Homer. By mistake one hot day He aimed his foul spray And poor Homer slipped into a coma. A Lion Called Ted A lion by the name of Ted Climbed, exhausted, into bed. On his mind was just one question, Why did he have indigestion? ........... Put the Light on, Mum There's a thing on our stairs And it waits and it glares. There are creakings and groans And phantom-like moans. Under my bed, There is something that's ......... Three Little Pigs and Big Bad Wolf's Cousin You'll remeber the tale of the Piggies Three And Big Bad Wolf, so I think you'll agree That a change to this story will give you some fun, Not what you'd expect, but a different one .......

About the Book
This is a book about fun, using the imagination and occasional (not too bossy) little reminders about how we should treat others. Some stories are old, familiar ones with new twists. Some are completely new. Most of them appear in my mind, usually as I'm dropping off to sleep, and then I have to put the light on and write them down. Suitable for children from 5+ yrs upwards, even for adults. Great for bedtime, parent/grandparent, read-out-loud stories.
About the Author
Rose Bell (nee Rosemary Wilkins) was born on D Day in the West Midlands. She spent her school days there and then went on to St. Mary's Teacher Training College in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. Rose taught for over thirty years in primary schools, both in the Midlands and in Southampton but took ten years out of teaching when her two children were small. These poems have been written over the years, for her classes, school assemblies and also just for fun and are now ready to be shared with others. In 1999, Rose gained an MA (Visual Literacy) in Art Education at Southampton University (King Alfred's College), which was completed just after she retired. She has two very grown up children, two lurcher dogs, who take her for walks in the New Forest, a husband and also loves art and pottery and playing her cello and piano.
