Charlie's Ark

Charlie's Ark is a collection of stories about a five-year-old boy and his toy box ark which contain many animals which magically come to life when he whispers a 'Wordspell'. Engaging, charming and a moral within every story together with beautiful illustrations, this book is a delight. Created and written by award-winning artist Mike Payne who is also the creator and original artist of the grey, blue-nosed bear "e;Tatty Teddy"e;. "e;Classics, children's classics in particular, endure because a child's soul inherently recognises a communion we adults only faintly remember. Storytelling is an art. Story writing is a craft. What has been collectively accomplished here is the gem at the pinnacle of the creative crown - inspiration. May Charlie's Ark join the classics of yore to be loved by legions of children as yet unborn and generations beyond that. Magic has been created here."e; MARY JANE, NEW ORLEANS USA
