Story
Long ago, there were many suns in the sky and the world was miserably hot. The people asked the best archer in the land to shoot down many of the suns, leaving one in the sky. The remaining sun was afraid of the archer and hid behind a mountain, leaving the world cold and dark. Soon the people wanted the sun to come back, but it would take curiousity to lure the sun out from hiding.

Editorial reviews
Monsieur Racine was content to live a quiet life of retirement. He tended to his pear tree and kept to himself. One morning, however, he finds all but one of his pears has been eaten and a mysterious set of footprints is all that remain. Performed with a comical energy from actor Charles Duval, The Beast of Monsieur Racine is the humorous story of an unlikely partnership and an old man’s ability to change his curmudgeonly ways. Children are sure to love the fun performance - complete with musical accompaniment - of this classic from author and illustrator, Tomi Ungerer.

Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.
