Ruby’s #OneMinuteStory 08 ‘The Silver Selkie’
Day 08 and our final story now the big day is here. This one is a very brief kind of sneak peek of a story we are working on about ‘The Silver Selkie’ (a selkie is a beautiful mythical creature half seal half human).
This is another #OneHundredWords story The Silver Selkie’ by Rose English.
Happy Listening.
The Silver SelkieThe shell whispered its hidden lullaby as the sun disappeared and seemed to melt into the salty sea. As the world turned, all colour drained away and the stars became visible as white dots in a dull grey sky. Before long they were sparkling upon black velvet.
The moon climbed high, leaving a silvery path upon the water. The child smiled, for there before her eyes approached a beautiful sleek silver seal. As the seal reached the shore, she raised herself up and her skin fell away, revealing a pretty lady. The child ran into her arms.
“Grandma you came.”
‘Seal Mother ~ A Selkie Tale in Verse’

Ruby’s #OneMinuteStory 07 ‘Snolar Bear’
Day 07 another fun #OneHundredWords story this time about a ‘Snolar Bear’ a cross between a snowman and a polar bear by Rose English.
Happy Listening.
Snolar BearBright whiteness filled the room, as I open my eyes, I am stunned to see the white snow-covered fields beyond my window.
I waste no time leaping from the bed, rushing to get ready and go outside to check that I’m not dreaming. Wrapped up warm I step into the white wonderland. I am going to make a snowman.
All starts well rolling snowballs round and round to form the body, then another for the head. Alas when I merge the two it looks nothing like a snowperson. I’ve created something unique a Snolar Bear.

Ruby’s #OneMinuteStory 06 ‘Chocolate Mice’
Day 06 a fun #OneHundredWords story about a group of chocolate mice in a very hot sweetshop by Rose English.
Happy Listening.
Chocolate MiceOn a hot sunny day, all the chocolate animals in the sweetshop laze beneath the wonderful cooling fan out of the sunlight and at the back. But the mice were restless and wanted to play.
Such silly creatures are chocolate mice. They simply do not think. Of course, the temperature was so hot that their games led to their undoing.
First their chocolate button ears slipped off, and then their liquorice tails and finally their milk chocolate bodies melted away into a gloopy puddle. Only their round little silver candy eyes remained to watch their lives slip away with sadness.

Obsessive About Octopuses by Owen Davey
We love the octopus and this beautiful recommended read has been added to our wish list
Confession time: I am obsessive about Flying Eye Books and for good reason. The books they publish are always top notch and visually amazing. Whenever I see one I ultimately take the time to check in out and end up engrossed. Yet in my opinion what they do better than most it create fabulous non-fiction. At the heart of this achievement in Owen Davey with his cracking series.
Dedicating a book to a single animal and the various species provides the reader with a detailed, fascinating experience. Crazy information that explains the two suborders of octopus and explains how one of the most visually striking sea creatures uses it’s body to survive is presented on every page. I mean they have beaks! Who knew?
Other pages look at how the Octopus is represented in mythology, conservation, the more odd members of the family and my favourite ‘self-defence’.
