An Ideal Christmas Gift Children Should Enjoy
The ideal Christmas present for children that is inexpensive and certain to bring them enjoyment is a book. How can you be sure they will enjoy it? Simply look at the reviews the book has received.
My wife Heather Flood’s children’s books and my own Secret Potion – which has been recommended for those in search of more magic after Harry Potter and has brought out a second edition by popular demand – tick all the boxes.
For young children there’s Heather’s Mousey Mousey series, about a delightful lady mouse and her talking animal friends whose lives are turned upside down by the mischievous witch Agatha. The first book in the series, Mousey Mousey and the Witches’ Spells, was so well received that Heather brought out a new edition with an extra chapter.
Heather comes up with some wonderful short stories – many of them set at Christmas time – in Giant Sticker Monster and Other Children’s Stories.
And for both older children and adults Heather has written Purple Mist, which is literally an out-of-this-world fantasy adventure.
You can check out these superbly illustrated books by entering either Heather Flood or Tony Flood into the search box on Amazon.co.uk, or click the titles where they are linked within this article.

THE LATEST FIVE-STAR REVIEWS INCLUDE:
SPELL-BINDING STORIES COMPARABLE WITH BEATRIX POTTER
‘Mousey Mousey and the Witches Spells’ is a new edition about the loveable little lady mouse and her animal friends combatting the troublesome antics of the meddling witch Agatha.
First published in 2015 ‘Mousey Mousey’ became an Amazon best seller and this new edition contains an additional story.
The adorable animal characters and their adventures, humorously illustrated by Vicky Rosenthal and reminiscent of Beatrix Potter, are sure to enthrall a new generation of children up to the age of twelve.
Woven in to the stories is sound advice, such as the need for young rabbits to use sun cream, and an overall moral that good triumphs over evil. Highly recommended as a gift for youngsters – makes me wish I was a kid again – from John Silverton, author of ‘A Pearl Amongst Oysters’ available on Amazon.
A WONDERFUL PRESENT FOR CHILDREN – GIANT STICKER MONSTER AND OTHER CHILDREN’S STORIES
This charming book would be a great present as it contains a wonderful collection of short stories for young children.
The Giant Sticker Monster annoys everyone by sticking stickers on them but becomes the hero by coming to the aid of Father Christmas. There are many other happy stories that young children will love, such as The Lost Puppies and The Snowman who comes to life. Heather’s intriguing tales, supported by superb illustrations, show that kindness is rewarded. – from Magdalena Newton.
PURPLE MIST EXCITEMENT AND FANTASY
I was not sure what to expect but ‘Purple Mist‘ exceeded all my expectations. Heather Flood has created a wonderful fantasy story relatable to all. It truly is an out-of-this-world adventure, keeping you wanting more. We could all do with some purple mist powers. – from Helen Sheehan.
ROLLERCOASTER OF A SUPERB ADVENTURE
Secret Potion has everything a lover of fantasy books could want. This second edition is a wonderfully original rollercoaster of thrills and spills while still being comparable to the magic of JK Rowling and, as with Harry Potter, appeals to everyone, young and old. The out-of-this-world setting and unique characters – including wizards, both good and bad, witches and a terrible monster – are marvellous. – from Miriam Bogazzi.
