Telltale Tots

� Unique, interactive story-telling events and parties for little people with BIG imaginations

? Then its storybook making time.

Each Telltale Tots session is themed around a new and original story, which we bring to life together through interactive story time. We immerse ourselves in the theme through the use of music/sound effects and props. The children can join in by, for example: calling out repetitions from the story, colours, sound effects, and counting. The friendly and relaxed environment allows children to feel at ease and comfortable participating in the group. Each child will get a booklet containing a condensed version of the story. Children work with their and parent, to customise their own version of the story. They can name the characters, colour in/draw/cut out pictures, and decorate the front cover using a variety of high quality materials (varies depending on the theme but will include things like: pens, stickers, feathers, googly eyes, glitter.) This activity encourages children to use their imaginations and think creatively. It also allows them to practice their mark making, and scissor cutting - all very important in the development of fine motor skills and helping them learn to write later on. Before the end of the session we come back together, and little ones can share their storybook creations with the group. At the end of the session your child can take their book home with them, to show the rest of the family what they have made,and perhaps enjoy the story again later. Each session is run by Kirstie (owner and creator of Telltale Tots and mum of two).

To celebrate the launch of my newest book, The Witch's Cat and The Broomstick Blunder, the eBook is FREE today over at the Kindle Store.

So, if you fancied a sneaky peek inside, now's your chance!

A little about the story...

“The Lovely Witch was always zipping here and there on her broomstick. The Witch’s Cat gave it very little thought. After all, riding a broomstick IS what witches are supposed to do.”

Then one day, he decided to try it for himself. What could possibly go wrong?

A funny tale that’s sure to bring some magic to your bedtime stories. Perfect to snuggle up with this Halloween! Great for ages 2-6.

So go grab a freebie... and don't forget to leave an honest review (they help massively to get a book noticed out there in the big, wide Amazon).

Could you help me give this book the BEST possible start to its life out there in the big, bad world of Amazon by leaving a review? 🙏🏻💗

I know, I know. We’re always being bombarded with requests for reviews - and it’s so annoying 😂 But for an indie-author like me, reviews really do make the difference to a book thriving or just surviving.

So if you get a moment this weekend to download and review I would be eternally grateful 🙏🏻💗

Fish Don’t Sneeze lands on 19th November!

🐠 A-a-a-CHOOOO!🐠

A fish that sneezes? It’s strange! It’s weird! It’s just not normal! And it’s the reason no one wants to be friends with poor Sneezy the fish.

When a little fish comes along with some big plans to help, Sneezy’s keen to give them a go.

But will they work? And will Sneezy finally find what he’s always been looking for.

T-minus 5 weeks to publication and no, I’m not nervous at all 😅
