Phredber the essential bear

Phredber,...
...the essential bear!

This is a preview of a little bit of the Phredber stories,..
for kids and really big kids.
The idea is that parents read it at bed-time.
(and to the their children too!!)

This is a new bit of what will become a much bigger website, so keep checking cos I have quite a bit more to add here.

Phredber is a scruffy bear
But he is loved a lot.
There are places where his fur is thin
And places it is not.

I won him at a fairground,
He was the last one on the shelf.
I won him first to give away
But then kept him for myself.

I took him everywhere with me,
So by the end of that long day
We'd sort of become bestest friends
And I couldn't give him away.

Well now he's been with me for years,
I know he's not a normal bear,
Coz when I get to where he was,
He often isn't there!

I think he likes adventures
And can disappear for days,
Then turns up in the strangest places
But he never says.

But night-times when I go to bed,
He comes into my dreams
And then I get to understand
Exactly where he's been.

So now that he's not listening,
I'm writing in my book
Of all the things that Phredber did,
For all my friends to look.

The Phredber stories are kinda interactive,.. not in the normal way that you expect at the push of a button. I'm hoping they will come out several times a year,.. then at Christmas there will be the annual special. In that, will be stories with ideas from my readers and pictures they have drawn about Phredber.
I think I might have let myself in for some really serious mail deliveries! If it helps some of you to enjoy reading and creative writing yourselves, it will be worth the effort! To all of you who have had the previews of the first story,... yes they will be out, as soon as I can get them sorted!!
The stories are being turned into files that can be downloaded from the online store for a small cost. It's all taking me time to get everything in the right places and I'm really bad at that sometimes! In the meantime, I shall post a few snippets from the stories here, so check back here for addons,....
