Jeremiah lives in the Dark Woods with his grandma, who is brave enough to fight off crocodiles with her bare hands and her handbag. But her legs aren't so good, so when her jam tarts are stolen she sends Jeremiah into the woods to find the culprit...

Best Book Ever

This was probably my favorite book growing up, mostly because of Jeremiah's name (you have to read it to find out...) adn now I have started buying the Ahlberg books to have my own copies! You get all the characters from fairy tales you could possibly want, plus gorillas!

WILL SPARK THE IMAGINATION OF YOUR LITTLE ONES

This book was published in the mid-70's and my daughter and I spent many hours of pleasure reading this together. As recently as last week we mentioned the book because something sparked a memory. This is a combination of many many characters from nursery rhymes, fairy tales, and children's classics. It is delightful to read, especially the first time, because you just do not know who and what you are going to run into next. I am looking for this book now to share with my grandchildren to get their imaginations kick-started too.
