Megan & Flos: Beginnings contains the first five episodes of Megan & Flos – it’s no longer in print but we’d love you to have your own copy in case there’s an end-of-the-world type internet-crashing emergency 😮 So here it is – our Christmas gift to you 😀
Ohh. So there was a hole in the bin and the bin was over a storm drain 😮 And that’s how the pollutants got in the river. Well done Megan and Flos! Now you can go home and celebrate with some more of those peanut butter krispie cakes! Oh wait – it’s not quite wrapped up yet is it? Find out tomorrow 😀
Uh oh, someone’s watching 😮 Careful not to reveal your extraterrestrial skills Flos. How will she move the bin without giving herself away? Find out tomorrow 😀
So, does it? Does that letter address Megan’s concerns? Unlikely. Come back tomorrow to see what Megan makes of it, or read the whole story now if you’d rather not wait 🙂
Megan & Flos #2, continues from yesterday. (Click here for the whole story) 😀

Gasp! Powerful enemies! I don’t like the sound of that, not to mention Mum’s poked her head round the door at a very inopportune moment. Whatever next?!
You can find all their stories on the Megan and Flos page right now but if you’d rather wait, instalments of episode 3 start tomorrow!

Wow, that was scary, poor Megan and Flos. Maybe we should do some puzzles to unwind. Visit the things to make and do page for puzzles and activities. There’s wordsearches, crossword puzzles, colouring pages, sewing projects, knitting projects and more. Or read some funny poems.

Struggling to come with ideas for great vegan Christmas gifts for kids? Look no further –
There’s plenty of colourful, funny and exciting vegan children’s books to choose from, for story-lovers, doodlers and colour-in-ers of all ages! And if you order them from our little shop they will come wrapped in cardboard, not plastic. But don’t hesitate! To prevent waste these books are printed on demand so there’s no next-day-delivery. They will take at least a week to reach you, maybe even two at this time of year 😀
Can you remember the titles of these great episodes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Go on – have a go! 😀
You could save the puzzle pic, open it in Paint and solve it on your pc. Or you could print it and solve it with a pencil. Or maybe you’d like to download the puzzle pdf. The choice is yours 😀
Here it is – the last of the three 8-chapter editions of funny vegan-friendly short stories: Luke Walker and the Secret Society of animal stick up for-ers. You can’t get this hand-written version in print anymore so if you’d like your own copy you should download it here for free! 😀
*
In Luke Walker and the Secret Society, Luke and his friends are now eleven and at secondary school. With their advancing years comes more independence so they’re able to stick up for animals in all sorts of new ways. Plus, different members of the society have different approaches, making them stronger as a team. It’s all good fun though, as always. Fancy a giggle? – enjoy some more Luke Walker adventures 😀
As mentioned yesterday, the original 8-chapter editions of the Luke Walker stories are no longer in print but we love the covers on these and the hand-written fonts inside, so we thought we’d immortalise them digitally 😀 Feel free to download your own copy!
*
More Luke Walker: animal stick up for-er contains chapters 9 to 16 and now it’s getting really – well, more! An Amazon review from a reader in Canada in 2017 says “this book was more intense than the first, dealing with more dramatic, blatant, risk taking acts of animal rights activism” but I have to add (and so did she) that it’s still very funny. And remember, this activist is only 9 years old 😀
Since all 24 Luke Walker chapters were published this year in one volume – Luke Walker: animal stick up for-er – the story so far – the original 8-chapter editions are no longer in print. But it’s a shame to just cast aside the original hand-written versions so we’ve made them free to download for anyone who’d like their own copy 😀

Luke Walker is an outspoken eight year old boy with a mind of his own. He’s noticed that life often isn’t fair for animals and that his parents’ and teachers’ justifications for this don’t make any sense. So, armed with nothing more than his own clear-sighted logic and a determination to right wrongs, he becomes a self-styled vegan outlaw who will not play by the rules if the rules mean somebody gets hurt. He knows he’s right but he also knows that, in order to do the right thing, he sometimes needs to be sneaky. Luke Walker: animal stick up for-er – the first eight chapters.
The quirky vegan-friendly counting story of Wibbolywub’s day-trip to Earth was once available in paperback, but not anymore. You can always read it here of course, but what if the internet goes down?! 😮 Safer to have your own copy right? 😀 Good job you can download it for free!
The story of Clarence and Luca, the turkey brothers who touched our hearts almost ten years ago, is now no longer in print but you can still read this Christmas story – Big Blue Sky – on this site and, if you’d like to read it offline, you can now download your own free copy too. Don’t worry, it does include a happy ending ❤
These numbered posts about the top vegan Christmas presents for kids are not in any deliberate order – they are ALL EQUALLY AWESOME!
In this ‘Hansel and Gretel’ type story, two little pigs are running home as fast as they can because the big bad butcher is trying to catch them. Problem is, they don’t know which way to go so they have to keep stopping to ask directions from the different animals they pass along the way.
The Two Little Pigs is a bright, fast-paced, vegan-friendly rhyming story, perfect for reading to little ones at bedtime. Beautifully and colourfully illustrated with crayons. Happy ending included.
But that’s not all! This picture book also includes the wonderful story of Deidra – a dairy cow who keeps wandering off. She always comes back but no one can guess where she’s been and she certainly isn’t going to tell them. Where are you going Deidra? is the second colourful rhyming story in this beautiful hardback gift edition.

Trees Please is different from most of our other books because it contains no stories or rhymes. It is a picture book, scrapbook, notebook, art journal. A big, beautiful, spiral-bound, art-filled book explaining why trees are so important to the planet and everyone who lives on it, as well as what they mean to a few animals in particular. Its pages are filled with bright, colourful, idiosyncratic illustrations and backgrounds created with paint, coloured pencils, ink and collage – some with facts about tree-loving animals, some with space for the reader’s own notes and drawings. There is also a section explaining how to grow your own trees from apple seeds. A joyful picture book, notebook, scrapbook, art journal for children and adults.

Number 3, for example, Luke Walker: animal stick up for-er – the story so far is just as FANTASTIC as the top vegan children’s Christmas gift #1 and #2, it’s just different. For readers aged 8 to 108 who love funny and exciting short stories in words not pictures – this is perfect!
Of course you can read all these stories for free right here, there are even free e-book downloads if you want to read them offline, but if you want something tangible to put in a stocking, something with pages that actually turn, something to entertain your kids when there’s a power cut, get them a copy of the paperback! 😀

This big, beautiful, hardback, vegan-friendly picture book contains two stories. The first, by Edward Benn and Juliet Mahoney, is How Many Friends Could A Bibbolybob Make if a Bibbolybob Came to Earth? It’s about a Bibbolybob called Wibbolywub from the planet Bobbolybib who visits Earth for the day and makes friends with ten different Earthlings. This original early learning story introduces the numbers zero to ten (for counting – not maths) and shares some very interesting facts about Earthlings.
The second story, by Lavender Laine, is What’s Good for the Goose is not Good for the Panda. It’s a rhyming story about a hungry panda called Patty who is on a quest to find the right food. She meets lots of other animals willing to share their food but when she doesn’t like what they like, she has to keep searching. This delightful story is written and illustrated entirely in collage and will inspire children to make art out of old odds and ends like food packaging, maps, stamps, yarn and buttons as Lavender Laine has done here.
This colourful hardback book, suitable for ages 2 to 5, will be treasured by little story lovers, whether they’re vegan or not, and would make a wonderful Christmas present.
