The Flower Town Picture Board

We have now added The Flower Town Picture Board to our site, featuring our little Grub fans’ own interpretation of the colouring activities found in the back of our books.

We’re thrilled to see such a wonderful display of colour and creativity.

Click here to see our little collection – if you have any Grub Tales pictures to share, do send them through to us and we’ll add them to the picture board for you.

Our First Big Milestone

Winnie Worm's Wonderful IdeaWe’re so excited to share our happy news. We have 5 Grub Tales in Print and Ebook formats, now available on Amazon and CreateSpace! We’re thrilled at this massive milestone after more than three years of hard work. We’ve set up a links page here with details about where each book can be purchased.

We have lots planned for the next few months. We’ll be working on the next 5 tales and will also be taking part in some fairs in the London area. Details to follow.

In the meantime, we present to you our first 5 tales. Enjoy!

The Grubs Move In: Share the excitement as the Grub Twins explore Vegetable Row in Flower Town! Follow them under Sophie Spider’s web into a garden full of pretty flowers, and join Sammie Spider’s birthday party.

The Grubs Go Camping: Join the Grub Twins, Stevie Slug and Sally Snail on a camping adventure! After a cosy night’s sleep in their tents, something very odd happens in the early morning, with strange noises…

The Grubs In The Snow: It’s the first time the Grub Twins see snow! Join in the fun of getting ready to play in the snow, and making a snowgrub with Emma Earwig, Stevie Slug and the Spiders, Sophie and Sammie.

The Grubs At The Pond: The Grubs are off to the Pond! Join the Grub Twins and their friends Alice and Andy Ant, and Sophie and Sammie Spider for their exciting new adventure. Find out what happens to Doctor Wallace Woodlouse…

Winnie Worm’s Wonderful Idea: How are the Grub Twins and their friends going to cross the path to get to the carrot patch? They’re hungry, so Winnie Worm comes up with a clever plan…

The Grub Tales – Soon in Print…

Thank you to everybody who downloaded The Grubs Move In during our free-book week. The response has been amazing. We’ve had a lot of requests for a printed book. We’re working on this right now, so we’ll eventually have each story in e-book and print formats.

In the meantime, Danny Dragonfly will soon be joining his friends in Kiddies’ Corner. Claire Cricket is also hopping around, waiting for her turn, so watch this space!

The Grubs Move In is available to purchase on Amazon here – a fun little book to keep your children entertained during the Christmas holidays 🙂

The Grubs Move In – Published!

We’ve published the first tale in The Grub Tales series!


For 5 days from Friday 21st August
download The Grubs Move In ebook for free

We realised that we had already done all the hard work, since the publishing process was fairly straightforward. We only encountered a slight glitch, as we thought we could publish books for free on Kindle. Apparently not! We could only do it by enrolling in KDP Select, which allows a maximum of 5 free days.

We’re very excited, and we hope your little ones will enjoy this first tale.
