Conestance, Conerad, Cone-Vera and Conen awoke in a lovely park. The sun was shining, and the birds were singing in the trees. Lots of bees and butterflies were busily collecting pollen and nectar from the flowers. The Cones love a new day and wanted something interesting to learn about. They wanted a new adventure! Cones and Cleaner Air is another journey in the Cones series of books for children. As much as these stories are fun, full of excitement and adventure they also carry messages of kindness, environmental awareness, safety, moral principles, helpfulness and understanding. A perfect narrative to which to introduce young minds to the possibility that it is good to extend the hand of friendship and that looking out for others makes the world a safer and better place in which to live. Each story is wonderfully creative and beautifully illustrated. Children love them and adults love the telling of it. This story has been produced with the kind support of BAM Nuttall and Leeds City Council.

It was a lovely sunny day. Conestance, Conerad, Cone-Vera and Conen were standing outside a very big building. "Where are we?" Conerad asked. "Whoa!" he said, jumping backwards. Two big sliding doors opened and there stood a bright yellow Cone. "Hello," said the new Cone. "My name is Conespicuous. I'm the warning Cone and I look after health and safety here at Leeds Children's Hospital. It's one of the biggest in the country." Each of our four friends introduced themselves. So begins another adventure for the Cones friends. The award-winning Cones series of books for children, written by Chris Madeley, are specifically designed to enhance children's understanding of aspects of safety, friendship, kindness and moral and ethical principles by which to be guided. Cones Visit the Children's Hospital is wonderfully illustrated by Emily Vaughan. Children love the Cones and adults love reading them. Chris has always enjoyed words, books and writing for as long as she can remember. Having been brought up in a family which did not possess a television, she was well used to making her own entertainment and with a very fertile imagination and a preference for her own company, she immersed herself in the world of make-believe and fantasy. Throughout Chris' school life, she developed a great love and respect for the written word and reading and writing featured right at the top of her favourites list. Hardly surprising that her career took her into working with English and led her to some very interesting Executive P.A. posts in several major well-known companies. After a career break to have her family, Chris went back to work part-time and after training changed disciplines to work as an Independent Financial Adviser. It was during this time that she received the inspiration for writing The Cones. Chris spent many a long hour on the M1 motorway with her husband Keith as they travelled from their main office in Bradford to their company's branch office in Hertfordshire and guess what happened? Yes, they sat in road works surrounded by miles and miles of CONES! Thus, the 'conecept' of Cones coming alive and having adventures was born.

Conerad, Conestance, Cone-Vera and Conen had had a busy day. They had woggled and woggled until they were too tired to go any further. It was very dark and the four friends rested on a hillside. Below them in the valley was a town. The street lights were shining and there were lights in the houses and shops... So begins another great adventure for our Cone friends. This time they will learn all about the importance of electricity, some of the difficulties caused during a power cut and how the power company supports communities so that the most vulnerable are looked after.

It was very early morning. Conestance, Conerad, Cone-Vera and Conen were NOT happy Cones. They had woken up to find Cone Collector's driver busily stacking Cones onto his truck. "This is not fair!" Conestance said, stamping the corner of her base, "we're not doing anything wrong." "What's happening?" Conen asked, sleepily. And so our four friends embark on a new adventure in the award winning Cones series of books. This time they discover the dangers of roadworks. Author, Chris Madeley and all of those in Team Cones are passionate about helping children understand aspects of safety, friendship, kindness and moral and ethical principles by which to be guided. With wonderful illustrations by Darcy Cash, children and adults alike will love Cones in the Roadworks.

Dawn was breaking and casting a warm glow. A large cargo ship was ploughing its way across the heaving sea and turned to come towards the port. A green and white Cone was on the deck, woggling backwards and forwards. He was very tired, it had been a long journey from America. As the ship turned to face the port, a small tug chugged out to sea to help the ship dock safely. In Cones Power and Nature the adventures of the four friends Cones continue when they learn about a power station and the way electricity can be produced from a sustainable resource. Wonderfully creative stories that are delightfully illustrated. Children love them and adults love stories that introduce themes of friendship and safety awareness.

In CONES ON THE WATERFRONT the four friends meet Conefluence who teaches them about the beauty as well as danger of being near waterways, canals and rivers. ;The Cones series are brilliantly written, delightfully illustrated stories for children that are fun to read. The adventures that the Cones find themselves in through each book illustrate aspects of safety awareness as well as moral and ethical principles of mutual support and friendliness.

Conestance, Conrad, and Cone-Vera were dozing in the warm sun. Conen was becoming impatient and woggled off to see what he could find. Conen returned looking very excited. "Come on sleepy-heads, wake up NOW!" he shouted. "I've found the best place ever to explore! Wait 'til you see it!" They followed Conen and just around the corner was an amazing sight... This is the 5th book in The Cones series of wonderfully told and beautifully illustrated books for children. This time our Cone friends discover some of the perils of building sites. They are helped by Conestructor who makes them aware that children should never, ever even think about playing there. The Cones stories are interwoven with a narrative of friendship, safety and moral and ethical principles. Young children love The Cones stories and adults love telling them. Parents and teachers will welcome children enjoying stories within which they will also learn life skills.

"I'm very worried," Vic Voltage said, "if you look carefully at the leaves in that tall tree you will see some electricity cables going through them." "What's so scary about that?" Conen asked rudely. "Conen! Manners!" Cone-Vera said. "Sorry, but it's not scary!" Conen said. "Look what else is in the trees," Vic pointed. "There are two boys getting nearer and nearer to the cables. They're in great danger, I must get help!" Vic ran off quickly... This is the 4th book in The Cones series of wonderfully told and beautifully illustrated books for children. This time our Cone friends discover the dangers of electricity. They are helped by Vic Voltage who warns them of the perils of playing too close to electricity cables and pylons and when they get into trouble Police Car and Wise Owl come to the rescue. The Cones are stories interwoven with a narrative of friendship, safety and moral and ethical principles. Young children love The Cones stories and adults love telling them. Parents and teachers will welcome children enjoying stories within which they will also learn life skills.

Conerad, Conestance, Cone-Vera and Conen were very excited. They were ready for another adventure! They were standing outside a beautiful building with arches and lights. "This looks exciting," Conen whispered. "Shall we go in and see what we can find?" "There are no humans about," said Conerad, "so let's go." ... so the story starts. Cones On The Rails is the latest adventure in the Cones series of books for children. As much as these stories are fun, full of excitement and adventure they also carry messages of kindness, safety awareness, moral principles, helpfulness and understanding. A perfect narrative to which to introduce young minds to the possibility that it is good to extend the hand of friendship and that looking out for others makes the world a safer and better place in which to live. Each story is wonderfully creative and beautifully illustrated. Children love them and adults love the telling of it.

"Early one sunny morning Conerad and Conestance were standing at the end of a long line of Cones, talking quietly together. They were bored with standing in the same place. Conerad said, "Do you remember, when we were covered in Moondust and we shook it off by rocking from side to side? Perhaps, if we keep shaking, we could move away." Conerad frowned as he tried to move about. In Cones Make New Friends the adventures of the Cones continue in a story to enthral children while teaching them the importance of how they make friends and play nice! Wonderfully creative stories, delightfully illustrated. Children love it and adults love the telling of it.

"Down a long street in the big city there stands a very tall building. On the top floor, in a special office, works a Very Important Person. He sits behind a huge desk with piles of paper on either side of him..." So begins 'Meet the Cones', the first story in the 'Cones' series; a magical, wonderful world within which the reader will never look at a Cone in quite the same way again. Fabulously creative stories, beautifully illustrated. Children love it and adults love the telling of it.

Conerad, Conestance, Cone-Vera si Conen erau foarte entuziasmati. Erau pregatiti pentru o alta aventura! Stateau in fata unei cladiri frumoase cu arcade si lumini. "Arata incitant" sopti Conen. "Oare sa intram si sa vedem ce gasim inauntru?" "Nu sunt oameni prin preajma" zise Conerad, "deci, sa mergem." Conurile incepura sa misune pe sub o arcada, luara o curba si intrara in statia de tren."Uimitor!" exclama Conerad. "Cine esti ? Ce faceti in holul principal din gara mea?" zise o voce baritonala.

"There are no humans about," said Conerad, "so let's go." ... so the story starts.

Tot un matin ensoleille, Conerad et Conestance, qui se trouvaient au bout d'une longe ligne de Cones, papotaient silencieusement. Mais rester assis au meme endroit les ennuyait. Conerad dit " Tu te souviens, quand on etait couverts de poussiere de lune, puis on s'en est debarrasses en se balancant d'un cote a l'autre ? Peut-etre, si on essayait ca, on pourrait se deplacer et aller ailleurs. " Conerad grimaca alors qu'il essayait de bouger. " Bonjour, je m'appelle Cone-Vera ", dit le Cone a cote de Conestance. " Si vous soulevez deux coins de vos bases et vous deplacez de cote vous pouvez balembler. " Cone-Vera montra aux deux amis comment faire. " Balembler ? " demanda Conerad. " Oui, c'est ce que font les Cones quand ils bougent. Plus que trembler, mais moins que balancer. Les Cones balemblent" Cone-Vera expliqua. Conerad et Conestance realiserent qu'ils etaient vraiment doues a balembler.

"No in cio de uma manh ensolarada, Conerad e Conestance estavam no final de uma longa fila de Cones, conversando em voz baixa. Eles estavam entediados em ficar no mesmo lugar. Conerad disse: " Voc se lembra, quando est vamos cobertos de Moondust e n s sacudiu balan ando de um lado para o outro? Talvez, se continuarmos tremendo, pud ssemos nos afastar. "Conerad franziu a testa enquanto tentava se movimentar.Em Cones Make New Friends as aventuras dos Cones continuam em uma hist ria para cativar as crian as enquanto ensinam a import ncia de como elas fazem amigos e Jogue bem!
