Book excerpt: Charlie’s Ark is a collection of stories about a five-year-old boy and his toy box ark which contain many animals which magically come to life when he whispers a ‘Wordspell’. Engaging, charming and a moral within every story together with beautiful illustrations, this book is a delight. Created and written by award-winning artist Mike Payne who is also the creator and original artist of the grey, blue-nosed bear “Tatty Teddy”. “Classics, children’s classics in particular, endure because a child’s soul inherently recognises a communion we adults only faintly remember. Storytelling is an art. Story writing is a craft. What has been collectively accomplished here is the gem at the pinnacle of the creative crown – inspiration. May Charlie’s Ark join the classics of yore to be loved by legions of children as yet unborn and generations beyond that. Magic has been created here.” MARY JANE, NEW ORLEANS USA
