I'm a qualified teacher and librarian who has had seven children's books published in traditional form in the UK and USA. I've also had about sixty short stories published in British and Australian magazines.In 2012 I set up a child-friendly website, www.megamousebooks.com, to offer free children's stories, ebooks and printable puzzles. Five years later I created my second site, www.englishliteratureebooks.com, as a home for free abridged classic novels and classic poetry ebook collections. Keeping both sites going is proving a full-time job, but a very enjoyable one!

Horace’s Christmas Sleigh
Chapter One
"What’s happened?" gasped Horace. He put his front paws on the window sill to stare out at the garden. A soft white quilt had dropped out of the sky overnight. Now it covered everything.
Snow has happened,
said Tickety the hamster.
We’ve seen snow on TV,
added Boo, her brother. It was on a programme about Monster Ice Trucks. Snow looks like fun!
Horace agreed. He pulled his lead from its hook, and ran over to Josh with his tail wagging madly.
Do you want a walk, Horace? Let’s go to the park,
said Josh, pulling on his boots. You’ll like the snow.
But once he was out in it, the snow wasn’t at all what Horace had expected. He thought it would be like a big, warm, bouncy duvet.
