.Oliver's Vegetables (Oliver)

by: Vivian French

August 03, 1995
A little boy who only wants to eat chips is sent into the garden and told he can eat anything he finds! Interesting to see what he tries on his quest to find chips!
Quite an old book but lots of fun.
Unusual pictures.

.The Puffin Book of Five-minute Stories

by: Perrault, Margaret Mahy, Allan Ahlberg, Dick King-Smith, Adele Geras, Vivian French, et al

September 24, 1998
I bought this book for my two boys who are six and seven years old, it looked great to me. Unfortunately after reading a few of the stories my boys said the book was just plain boring! Maybe it would be better suited for girls??? there are so many lovely books out there and I liked the idea of having lots of different stories all in one book, but it didn't work this time !!!

.Oliver's Milkshake (Oliver)

by: Vivian French

July 20, 2000
These books are just great for introducing a healthy lifestyle. I've always been a fan of 'Oliver's vegetables'; but now i've found 'Oliver's milkshake' and 'Oliver's fruit salad'!
I teach 4 and 5 year olds, they can really understand Oliver and his thoughts. They love the bright pictures and easy to understand text.
Another great read from Vivian French!

.The Robe of Skulls

by: Vivian French

June 04, 2007
After hearing this being read to a class, I knew I had to get it for my daughter and I to read together. This has been one of the most enjoyable books we have read together for along time!!! I don't know who has enjoyed it more!! It's very well written, the more you read, the more you want to read, you don't want to stop reading, but you don't want the book to end either! It has the most wonderful characters, with great personalities, it's funny, moving and has a troll that is really endearing. I would say this was a new lean on the good fashioned fairy tale, but one that is written for children and adults alike. I think that this will become a firm favourite with most people. I hope the new book is as good as this one!Mind you it has a lot ... Read More:

.Singing to the Sun: A Fairy Tale

by: Vivian French

August 04, 2008
This is such a great collection of stories, that we have given it to at least a dozen children of family and friends. The stories are clever, original and have enough magic for mystery, but not so much as to take away from the real hopes and fears of the characters. You can read them again and again and be delighted. A fantastic bedtime storybook.

.The Snow Dragon

by: Vivian French

November 02, 2000
A beautifully imaginative story set in an alternative medieval dimension. Tells the tale of an long-forgotten world where dragons ruled planet and were in the midst of war (Fire Dragons in the South, Snow Dragons in the North). In the stretch of land that divided the two poles, a race called Twolegs (humans) lived, inferior to the dragons and scampering around in continual fear. The story focuses upon the characters of the Snow Dragon Queen, the Fire Dragon King, a young boy, and a manipulative character called The Book (a prophet with a an unforgiving streak). The story drops in at the time when the Snow Dragons are on the retreat and only the Queen has survived. `The Book' spurs on both dragon leaders to higher levels of antagonism, whilst the ...
