Because of the thick fog, Leah and her brother’s mother forbid the children from leaving the yard.

A few days later, when Dad was away in the city taking care of business, and when Mom was inside cleaning up, and Leah and Noah were outside in the yard playing, Sally came over again. Leah was about to run inside and get her mother, when Sally put her finger to her lips and whispered: “I wanted to speak with you. Have you noticed anything strange in the yard?”

“I noticed that the fog rolls in from the forest. And in the same way, it rolls back out again. Some-times I hear secret voices in the fog. I’ve also noticed that some sort of strange creature walks around in the fog. He waves at me, as though he were beckoning me. But, Mom does not let us play out in the yard when the fog rolls in.”

“Since you’ve noticed so much already, I will tell you more,“ Sally said. “A long, long time ago the world was different. In that world people, fairies, elves, trolls, and gnomes all lived together. The fairies had magical dust, the elves could turn into humans, the gnomes would find gold... Only people did not know how to do any magic. That was why people took all the other creatures and turned them into slaves. The citizens of the Magical World did not like that at all. That is why they used their magic powers to create a secret world. They named that world Misty Valley. They protected their magical world by creating a cir-cle of fog around it, hiding it from people’s eyes.

A Hen That Disappearedin The Fog

Now Prudence the Cow stood before a basket of fresh apples and was gently licking them.

“What do you make of that?” Prudence asked Pinchy the Cat.“Of what?” Pinchy asked.“Of the apples,” Prudence said, swinging her tail towards the basket.

“Yesterday I almost broke my neck reaching for apples high up on the branches of the apple tree. I even started to regret that I had not been born a giraffe. And today I wake up and find this basket of apples left here for me. Did you pick them for me?”“Me? Pick apples?” Pinchy blurted out in surprise. “Me? Climb a tree? Don’t you know that I clip my nails every day.”

“Well, then it certainly wasn’t you,” Prudence the Cow said.

Once there lived a very small mouse who dreamed of becoming the biggest mouse of all. One morning he awoke in his mouse hole and felt how his dream was coming true.

The mouse through he would be the happiest mouse in the world. Only, is it really that much fun to be the biggest mouse of them all?

Main themesAge 4-7

Once upon a time there was this little mouse. Even if we compared him with the other little mice, he was still very tiny. In a line of all little mice he would be, let’s say, the 5th to last. This little mouse was absolutely adorable and completely harmless. He would lay down in his little bed which was placed in a little cave, cover his head under the blanket so only the tip of his tail could be seen and start dreaming. In that dream he would picture himself as a tremendously big mouse, not that tiny little mouse he is now.

Coloring book

Mouseong


Children who like both coloring and solving different tasks will love this colouring book. In each page they will find Museong and other animals or things around him. Children can decided how to colour the mouse and their decision will determine whether the mouse appears big or small. If the mouse and an elephant is colored this will mean that Mouseong is a big mouse, but if, instead of an elephant, a chicken is colored this would mean that Mouseong is only a small little mouse. What did the mouse catch – a butterfly or a plane? Is he a really big or a really small mouse?

Age 5-7

Teddy Bears are often brave. Well, actually Teddy Bears are brave most of the time. Al-though it is true that for ages it has been written in the stars that courage and a Teddy Bear are inseparable. They go together like peas in a pod. However, every so often, even among brave Teddy Bears you may find a shy and frightened bear. Arnold was such a Teddy Bear. He could not remember when fear took root in his heart. “Have I always been frightened?” he thought. His fear was as dark as the night, as cold as ice, as sharp as a knife.
