Lanyi-May's Stories Kuiyin Chen

Meet Zoe the baby superhero spinosaurus, the princesses who like to help people and the Nog with a friendly parrot. Visit the places where they live - beautiful palaces, boggy swamps and fresh water lakes. Enjoy tug-of-wars, fossil hunting and tea parties. Learn about SMUD, tornadoes, hurricanes and other environmental concerns. Quick, open the book and start reading! So much imaginative adventure awaits! The stories in this book were created through play by a little girl when aged between 3 and 4 years of age. The stories are mainly concerned with certain characters getting into difficulties and other characters helping them out. There is a strong environmental theme in many of the stories (perhaps because auntie is a geologist who works with the Environment Agency). The stories are written in English, which is the language in which they were originally created, and Chinese commentary has been added around the illustrations to encourage Chinese character recognition. Some of the illustrations developed from art projects related to the stories, others were drawn by daddy especially for this volume.
