Going to see what Columbus missed….
Most kids (at least in USA) know that Christopher Columbus set sail from Spain in three small ships and bumped into America (actually, the Bahamas) in 1492. Many may not know that he was way off track, couldn’t be much further in fact. He was aiming at the “spice islands” on the Malabar west coast

Shout out to Cristina, the designer of my Fred books
Meet Cristina Young, the “designer” of my books about Fred the snake and his friends. She weaves my words and Bonnie’s illustrations into the printed books. I hadn’t realised the importance of the designer until we started working together. We just finished the 9th book about Fred’s adventures which will be on sale very soon.

FIVE stars for Fred book #8!
Next day, they all have gone, to a park called Yellowstone
to see Old Faithful Geyser. Careful, you’d be wiser
to stand back and watch it squirt, fountains and some lumps of dirt.
Then Jack said “WOW, look at that enormous cow”.
Jim replied, “No, my son, what you’re seeing is a bison.
They used to roam the plains in herds, big flocks of them like birds,
until the hunters came, and killed so many, what a shame.
