Here are four stories for the young and young at heart with illustrations by Beryl Kinder.* Around the World in 80 Seconds is a science-fiction story about a time-travel train.* Twenty-Two Thousand Tired Tummy Ticklers is a delightful dalliance with alliteration.* The Bunyip and the Frozen Billabong is about fantasy ice skating in the Australian outback.* Plex: The Ping-Pong Playing Octopus is about multitasking, practising, achieving and mindfulness.Included are two bonus reads: Poor Princess Pee is a rhyming poem, and How to Save the Planet (and Save Money) encourages all ages to recycle. Each story starts with a brief introduction that outlines the story's inspiration. These stories give some insight into the author who was a successful professional ice skater, before careers in mediation and publishing.
