Martha's Kingdom

Martha's Kingdom is a heart-warming collection of stories written for Martha Rose King, Jacqui's beautiful grand-daughter.

 

Each stand-alone story features an animal with either a fascinating hobby, an unfounded fear or an unattainable dream.  

 

Included are the Mr Watering-Can series, in which the title character performs a series of good deeds for the community.

Lydia Tap-Dances for the Queen

Lydia is a perfectly ordinary dairy cow, but she has a dream to tap-dance for the Queen. One day she takes herself off on an adventure to London and finds herself in the throne room at Buckingham Palace.

Milo and the Snake

Milo is a tiny lamb who wanders off to the far corner of the big field and gets separated from his mother. His way back to the flock is blocked by a scary snake who happens to have some mint sauce in his tree.

 

Will brave little Milo find a way to get past the snake and back to his mum?

Noah Needs Some Socks

Noah is a baby polar bear but unlike other polar bears in the Arctic, Noah has very cold feet. He goes on an adventure to find some socks and along the way makes new friends.

Malcolm rides the Bus

Malcom is a barn owl who is scared of heights. He travels everywhere by bus but cuts in the rural service mean he won't be able to get to town.

 

Will Malcolm be able to overcome his fear and fly?

Mr Watering-Can and the Wicked Black Raincloud

Mr Watering-Can has had a wonderful summer helping the children in his local park to water the flowers and keep the park looking lovely.

 

One day an enormous raincloud arrives. Mr Watering-Can feels he is no longer needed and shuts himself away in the shed. It's not long, though, before the flowers in the park need him once again and the children come to ask for his help.

Curly-Sue finds some Treasure

Curly-Sue is a timid goldfish with a bad memory. One day she goes exploring and finds some treasure, but will she remember where it is?
