Once again, as in the first book in this series, Small Folk Tales, this last and sixth book is another collection of rhymes and this time with a few stories, as well – not a picture book in the traditional sense, but photos and clip-art pics dotted here and there to enhance my words and add to the pleasure.

Almost Unbearable Tales by Christine Larsen
Even when dolls were the favourite toy of many small souls, I loved my Ted Bear - for more than 66 years now, and at his insistence I photographed him in all manner of poses for a special collection dedicated to him. This was the third in my children's books series 'Small Folk Tales'. Anyone who knows my Ted as I do, would realise this would not be enough for him. No… Ted demanded more photos of him and more of his mates and for me to write a cameo tale about each, to ensure no reader would … [Read more...] about Almost Unbearable Tales by Christine Larsen
Ted Bear Esq. – his photo album by Christine Larsen
In the third e-book in my 'Small Folk Tales' series, you will meet my best and oldest mate, Ted Bear Esq. (lovingly known as Ted to me all the 66 years we have shared, so far!) It all began modestly enough with some photos of him for his story on Squidoo - 'A Little Known Aussie, Ted Bear Esq.', but do you think this was enough for this furry prima donna? No way! He beat his hairy chest for a bit, then demanded a full exposure of his ‘togetherness’ with all his friends. He would agree to one … [Read more...] about Ted Bear Esq. – his photo album by Christine Larsen
Small Knitty Gritty Folk Tales by Christine Larsen @cdcraftee
Here are the stories of the Knitty Gritty Kids - mostly 'Special Needs' children, rescued from the scrap heap of Life. When I found them some wore sad, tearful expressions, whilst others smiled bravely despite their desperate situation, having been deserted and discarded like so much rubbish, each one begging for rescue. I was putty in their hands. They knew it and relied on an unexplainable magnetism to draw me to them, to be saved from . . . who knows what? I know I didn’t imagine that … [Read more...] about Small Knitty Gritty Folk Tales by Christine Larsen @cdcraftee
