    As a child I was a reluctant reader. I didn't see it as reluctance, I just didn't see the point: there were comics and a picture is worth a thousand words right?I am now an avid reader and regret missing out on so many good stories as a child. Fortunately, with children of my own, I'm now managing to catch up, reading stories to them every night before bed.There isn't anything quite like a good book to let you escape from the world for a while. True, films are great, but they don't engage you as much as a book. A well written book will get your imagination working, filling the story with colour and energy: a film is a depiction of somebody else's imagination.In fact, I enjoy reading stories to my children so much, I started to write my own. And bearing in mind my own reluctance to read as a child I have written them to be as engaging as possible, to draw the reluctant reader into a land of imagination and discovery.

      Chapter One

      Scrabble®

      Ruff stared hard at the letters on the rack in front of him. He was playing Making Words Out Of Letters Printed On Little Tiles By Putting Them On A Board, with Tumble. Tumble was winning.

      But if I can just get one more word I’ll win.

      He scratched behind his ear with his back leg. This isn’t as strange as it sounds because Ruff, or Rufus, is a dog; a shaggy, black, Scottish Terrier. He was hoping to rattle his Brain Cells into action.

      Ruff has three Brain Cells. He uses two of them to do all the usual stuff,

      like standing up, walking, eating and breathing. The third Brain Cell is saved for the really difficult things, like spelling.

      The scratching didn’t help. He still couldn’t think of a word.

      Hurry up, snapped Thumbelina, or Tumble for short. And she is short: a stubby legged, brown and white Corgi, like the dogs the Queen of England has. She was sitting up very straight in her Day Bed, excited that she was about to win the game.

      Ok, ok! I’m thinking, mumbled Ruff, resting his shaggy black chin on the soft, cushioned edge of his Day Bed.

      I know, you’ve gone all cross-eyed, joked Tumble. If you don’t go soon you’ll miss your turn and I’ll win.

      Ruff looked at his letters - SNOWNAM.

      There must be a word I can get.

      Hurry up!

      Ruff Humphed loudly and scratched again.

      Times nearly up!

      Ah! I’ve got it. Brilliant!

      Times up!!

      Ruff shuffled his tiles onto the board – MAN.

      Ha! exclaimed Ruff. He added up his score, That’s one and one is two. And… ah…three more makes…er…lots.

      Like all dogs, Ruff wasn’t very good with numbers above three. Dogs tend to count like this, ‘One, two, three, lots, lots and lots, lots and lots and lots’. Lots is a bit more than three, lots and lots is lots more than three and lots and lots and lots is lots and lots more than three.

      Soooo, gloated Ruff, that means you have lots and lots and lots and I have lots and lots and lots and lots. So I win!! Ha!

      Out of time! snapped Tumble, leaping to her paws.

      No I wasn’t! growled Ruff, rising up on his own paws.

      Yes you were! barked Tumble leaning forward and scowling into Ruff’s face.

      No I wasn’t! snarled Ruff, pushing his nose up against Tumble’s.

      Cheat!

      Looooserrr!!

      Things could have turned nasty but their argument was interrupted by the sound of the Pack Leader’s Noisy Metal Box That Transports arriving outside the Pack Lands. He had returned from the Daily Hunt. Ruff and Tumble stared at each other and then up at the kitchen clock. They had completely lost track of time.

      Shoving the game board under the Big White Keep Things Cold Cupboard, they scurried over to sit by the kitchen door. They tried to make it look like they had been there all day, just waiting for the Pack Leader to come home.

      There was the familiar crunch of gravel as the Pack Leader walked down the path. The key rattled in the front door and they heard it open and close again. Footsteps thudded across the lounge, into the dining room and then the kitchen door swung open.

      Hello doggies, said the Pack Leader, leaning down and tickling their ears. Have you had a nice day?

      Fine, fine. But we’re in dire need of a Treat from the Treat Cupboard, they responded.

      Ruff and Tumble then started trying to make the Pack Leader give them a Treat.

      Tumble went for a very straightforward approach. She walked over to the Treat Cupboard and glared at it, as if the power of her stare might burn a hole in the door. She flicked the odd look at the Pack Leader, Beaming ferociously, "Give the lovely doggie a treat, give the lovely doggie a treat".

      Ruff skittered across the kitchen floor to the water bowl. He picked up his favourite toy, Rainbow Lion, from where he had dumped him in a puddle on the floor. Slinking past the Pack Leader into the dining room, Ruff dashed around the table parping Rainbow Lion by biting down on his middle. All the while he kept Beaming, "Look at what I hunted today; perhaps I deserve a Treat."

      Caught in a crossfire of double Beaming, the Pack Leader gave in. He opened the Treat Cupboard and pulled out one marrowbone Treat each.

      Despite getting a Treat, Tumble gave a grunt of frustration. She was annoyed with herself for just standing
