Hello Pub-Swan

A Unique Children’s Book

Thanks to the generous ‘spreading of the word’ in the autumn of last year by editors of over 100 Parish and Village magazines, Naomi House Children’s Hospice in Hampshire, has now received £2,000 from the sale of this newly published storybook for children, by Andover author Bryan Beggs.
‘Hello Pud-Swan’ [a three-part set] is a story with a difference, which aims to capture the imagination of readers aged from 7 – 10 years, in an interactive and educational way. Topics of geographical, historical, scientific, and cultural interest are woven into the storyline, as are the 7, 8 and 9 times mathematical tables!

In each of the three books, there are pages for a reader to do his or her own illustrations, encouraging imagination and creativity and making the book personal and special to each individual child... ‘it makes an ideal present’.

All information can be found on the books’ own website www.pud-swan.org. However, ‘Hello Pud-swan’ may be ordered from all well-known bookshops or directly from the publisher, T.V.C. Book Society in Andover, (01264) 365190. The complete 3 part set in a slip-case costs £20, or the three parts may be bought individually for £8.99 each.
