Handa puts seven delicious fruits in a basket to take to her
friend, Akeyo. But as she walks, carrying the basket on her head,
various creatures steal her fruits. A monkey takes the banana, an
ostrich the guava, a zebra the orange, an elephant the mango, a
giraffe the pineapple, an antelope the avocado and a parrot the
passion fruit. Handa walks on, wondering which of the fruits her
friend will like best, oblivious to the fact that her basket is now
empty. But then, behind her, a goat charges into a tangerine tree
and fills Handa's basket with the fruit. "Hello, Akeyo," she greets
her friend. "I've brought you a surprise." But when she lifts off
her basket, it's Handa who gets the biggest surprise. Akeyo,
meanwhile, is delighted, because tangerines are her favourite
fruit!;Eileen Browne also created "Through My Window" which was

LoveReading4Kids 'Laugh-out-loud stuff' Ray D'Arcy It's the most
important day of the year for King Fabian as he is hosting all the
neighbouring rulers. Everything simply must go perfectly. King
Fabian wakes up, stretches, and... farts. His wife's fury is so

dungeons. Leaving behind a big problem: Fabian isn't really the

Fabian manage to pull off this high-pressure event alone? His small
and smelly fart looks like it will kick off a crisis... Frank - a
