Ais for Angel.

Angels are made from laughter.

They are especially kind and really

good at flying. Although angels are

everywhere, they are impossible to see.

Bis for Bear.

Bears live in the woods and like to

have tea parties very late at night.

Their favourite thing to eat is

raspberry jam.

Cis for Clown.

Clowns live in the circus and are

nearly always laughing or falling over.

Clowns only eat popcorn and are

never ever grumpy.

Dis for Dragon.

Dragons are very shy and live

in caves. Despite popular opinion,

dragons are very polite, but are best

avoided on account of having rather

smelly breath.

Eis for Elephant.

Although very large, elephants are a

bit cowardly and nothing scares them

quite as much as the mouse, which is

not very big at all. When approaching

an elephant, try not to squeak.

Fis for Fairy.

Fairies are very, very small, and have

very squeaky voices. If you ever spot a

fairy, and are lucky enough to tickle

its nose, it will grant you a wish.

Gis for Giant.

Giants are easy to spot because they

are huge and hairy. Never get too

close to a giant because their hugs

are quite dangerous.

His for Honey.

Honey is very sweet, and is made by

bees, which are not. Never try to eat

a bee; always go for the honey.

Iis for Igloo.

Igloos are made of snow and ice.

Although the people who live in igloos are

usually very cold, they are always jolly

and eat lots of ice cream.

Jis for Jelly.

Jelly is the most fun food to eat, on

account of it being very wobbly.

Never go to a birthday party unless you

know that it has a good supply of jelly.

Kis for Kite.

Nothing is more fun than flying a kite

on a bright sunny day. Be careful,

however, in high winds, not to be

blown away.

Lis for Leprechaun.

Leprechauns come from Ireland. They dance

all day long and are always in a good mood.

This is probably because they all have large

pots of gold, which they might just share

with you, if you manage to catch one.

Mis for Mermaid.

Mermaids live in the sea and have

beautiful tails. Mermaids love to sing

opera and never eat fish.

Nis for Nurse.

Nurses are very kind and gentle and

help to make you feel better with

medicine and lollipops.

Ois for Octopus.

The octopus likes two things, tickling

and swimming. Because they have eight

arms, they are rather good at both.

Pis for Parrot.

Parrots come in all shapes and

colours, and live in rainforests. It is

very hard sleeping near a parrot,

because they never stop talking.

Qis for Queen.

Queens are married to kings and tend

to be very bossy. Most queens eat too

much chocolate and have lots of shoes.

Ris for Robot.

Robots are mostly made from old

toasters and broken washing machines.

Despite being entirely metal, they have

huge hearts and love doing housework.

Sis for Spaceship.

Spaceships are very quick, except when they

run out of petrol; at this point they do not

move at all. Try and bring a picnic when

travelling through space, as it can take a long

time to get home.

Tis for Train.

Trains move along tracks made out of

liquorice and chocolate.

They won’t leave the station if it is

too hot, too cold, or too leafy.

Uis for Unicorn.

Unicorns are made from stars. Never

try to ride a unicorn or touch its

horn, as this is considered quite rude.

Vis for Vampire.

Vampires are very pale because they

don’t eat their greens. They come out

late at night and drink hot chocolate,

through little holes in their teeth.

Wis for Witch.

Witches have terrible eyesight and

spend all of their time flying on

brooms. Because of this, their kitchen

floors tend to be rather messy.

Xmarks the spot …

… where pirates bury their treasure.

Pirate treasure is made up of

chocolate biscuits, sweets and gold.

NEVER take a pirate’s treasure as it

makes them rather sad.

Yis for Yellow.

Yellow is the colour of the sun, which

only comes out during the day.

Although very warm, the sun can be

quite shy and occasionally hides

behind clouds.

Zis for Zoo.

Zoos are filled with animals who like

to watch people. Never ever try to

stroke a crocodile at a zoo – they

prefer to be tickled.
