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!

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.

What?! What’s happening now?! That was totally unexpected. Who’s Hatty? How has she escaped? Where has she escaped from? These questions and any more you might have will be answered as soon as Miranda’s finished drawing this comic. Sorry, I was hoping I’d be able to say Find out tomorrow but … well, she’s drawing as fast as she can, and that’s all anyone can do 😀 Make sure you’re following this blog so you don’t miss it when this story resumes. Back soon! 😮

Everyone is excited because it’s Grandpa Wollemi’s birthday but Cedro is a little worried. Kauri and Myrtle have spent days making special presents for Grandpa but Cedro thinks he isn’t very good at making stuff so he doesn’t have anything to give. Luckily he realises just in time that he can make Grandpa a birthday cake. This story explains how he does it. A happy picture book, colourfully illustrated in naïve style, with simple vegan cake recipe included. Suitable for reading, and baking, with little ones.
Here is a wonderful educational colouring book: Colour By Nutrients. It is at once a resource for artistic indulgence and an educational tool. Divided into chapters of different vitamins and minerals, the book illustrates which foods contain significant amounts of each.

See – this is why Reflecto Girl isn’t included in the Vegan Rascals Collection – she’s got a 150-page book of her own! 😀
For the uninitiated, Reflecto Girl has an ancient mystical mirror (the Dounto) that reflects people’s misdeeds back onto them. When reflected, whatever a person is trying to do to someone else, happens to them instead. Together with her sidekick – Distracto Boy – Reflecto Girl is an equalizer for the animals.
This bumper comic-book contains the first nine exciting episodes of Reflecto Girl, together with a few puzzles and fact files, and is published by Little Chicken. Available in paperback from all good bookshops, these stories can be read for free right here!

As the manufacturer points out (above) –
“Gasoline is currently the fuel of choice, but petroleum used to make it is becoming increasingly difficult to find and is contributing to environmental issues and worldwide problems. Automobile manufacturers know this and are spending tremendous amounts of money to develop alternative fuel for the future. Let us introduce you to another alternative fuel and eco-friendly vehicle – Air Power Engine Car. Air is available 24/7, does not run out and it’s free. By golly, we might have something here!”

Miranda was lucky to stumble across this in a charity shop, and if you google it you can find it for sale on various websites but unfortunately the company who makes them, The Source Wholesale, seems to have removed it from their Construct & Create range. I hope they’ll bring it back!

How to sew a doll by hand – YouTube by Root and Stitch. She also has videos of how to make rag dolls with a sewing machine. I chose to cut the legs off the pattern and sew them on separately.
*
Following the pattern I downloaded from Root and Stitch, I chose the colours of fabric that I needed for Mildred’s face, top and dungarees, and cut them out to fit the pattern generously.
*
And sewed them together.
*
Fold it in half (right sides together) and sew, leaving an open end to add stuffing.
*
Turn it right side out. 😀
*
Then stuff with kapok.
*
Sew on the legs. 😀
*
Make arms and sew them on.
*
Add neck ties for the Girl Scout Twins, and stitch their belts on.
*
Next it’s time to make hair!
*
I cut out a generous piece of fabric for the hair on the back of Mildred’s head, and pinned it to make it tidy. And cut out two half-circles for the hair on Mildred’s face.
*
I pinned it into place and sewed it on.
*
Then I cut out pieces of fabric for Mildred’s bunches, sewed them, turned them right side out, stuffed them with kapok and sewed them on.
*
For Claudia’s hair, I used yarn. I stitched it on down her centre parting, all the way down the back of her head, and then added more stitches either side of her head, to hold her hair in position.
*
Next I sewed their faces on.
*
Next I made a hat for Claudia.
*
And there you have it! Lovely vegan rag dolls.
*

Please let us know if you make yourself some lovely vegan superhero rag dolls, we’d love to see them.
