THE ADVENTURES OF DIGGLEDY DAN - A children's story of the circus. E-book. Formato PDF Edwin P. Norwood   -  Abela Publishing, 2020  - 

Have you ever been to a circus where the seal plays the bass drum, the monkey plays the violin, the elephant plays the cello and the kangaroo plays the bassoon! Well, at least the camel doesn’t play the didgeridoo – or does he?. This is a circus where the ring master is a tiger and the lion-tamer is, well, a lion! Well you’ll get all this and more at the Spangleland Circus in “The Adventures of Diggeldy Dan.” Too-Bo-Tan sends a speaking messenger bird to Diggeldy Dan the clown. The bird tells him that after the circus is over and everyone has gone home and the circus folk are in their tents and caravans, that after dinner they will all fall asleep – except for Diggeldy Dan, who must hide in the round white tent that stands in the center of all the bigger tents, and wait for the messenger who will come out of the west.’ Dan does this and when the messenger arrives, his adventures begin. What are the adventures you ask? Well you’ll have to download and read this book for yourself to find out. 10% of the profit from the sale of this book, and all the books Abela Publishing publishes, will be donated to charities. ================= EDWIN P.
