BOOK 1

Goldie and the noxious farting butterfly


A smelly butterfly. 
A levitating Ninja Bunny.
A coo that looks like a cow.
Goldie doesn’t remember how she ended up in the forest, or why all these strange animals are staring at her. Papa Bear looks especially angry.
Wolfie thinks she’s lying, although Mama Bear says Goldie looks confused.
But why is she wearing Little Bear’s favourite pyjamas?
If you love bedtime stories, you’ll enjoy reading this out loud as Goldie runs screaming through the forest (a lot).  Get mum, dad, grandma, grandpa or your babysitter to join in the fun. You’re bound to get into trouble for it.

The Messy Mud Games


Synchronised mud swimmers.
A new world record at the mud vault.
Medals galore in the mud crawl, mudfly, and 1500-metre mud stroke.
What’s Manny doing hanging on to the back of a wild mud sleigh ride?

And where did Little Pig learn those awesome mud slide tricks?
If you loved reading Book 1 out loud, you’ll enjoy getting into trouble again as the Forest crew compete at the Messy Mud Games. ​Mum, dad, grandma, grandpa and your babysitter won’t want to miss out on all the fun.

BOOK 3

An epic space adventure


A super massive black hole, slowly spinning in the dark universe. 
And they were flying towards it at the speed of light.
The spaceship rattled and rolled like a comet in a cosmic pinball machine.
‘Aaaaaah!’ screamed Goldie.
Bump.
‘Baaaaah!’ screamed the sheep.
They were falling endlessly into a bottomless black pit.
‘Wee!’ yelled Little Pig, ‘this is fun!’
Get comfortable with mum, dad, grandma, grandpa or your babysitter for the final epic bedtime story. You’ll definitely want to loudly act out this latest adventure. It’s guaranteed to hype you up before bedtime. And then we’ll all get into trouble.
