Grown-ups keep secrets – all sorts of stuff, Which they only tell you when you’re old enough, And now you’re getting bigger, it’s about time you knew - About a secret that they have been keeping from you! There’s a little family who lives under each bed. Some who are blue and some that are red. It goes without saying that they’re all very small, (They live under your bed after all!) It’s the Norf Clan I’ll tell you about today, They live under a bed – not far away, They camp out in a mattress between the springs, Collecting toys and buttons and interesting things... The Norf clan is an entertaining narrative poem about a mischievous gamily who live under the bed of a young boy and get him into trouble and prove that sometimes, life just isn't fair - but you'll get over it! Also available in a great value bundle!

A narrative poem following the nasty Dr Glum as he uses his magical drum to make others unhappy - but will he learn his lesson? This is the story of old Doctor Glum And the magical instrument he taps with his thumb. He’s fat and old with a temper that’s bad, And wears a red army tunic that belonged to his dad. On his head is the hat from an old marching band, Which is covered in dirt and was bought second hand. Bits of spaghetti and old food dangled - From his white beard that was scruffy and tangled. Strapped around his neck (which is as fat as a plum), Is a big red and white marching band drum… But the power the drum holds is something quite great; It’s a shame that the man with the drum’s filled with hate!
