Welcome to The Cooke Box.
This is where you will find Jill's stories for the Under 5s. Many of them were first published in The People's Friend, some are new, and more will be added.
A story for Chloe, and everyone who watches the bumblebees in the garden.
A story for Ellie, and everyone who has found interesting things in the cupboard under the stairs.
A story for Tilly, and everyone who loves daisies.
A story for Ben, and everyone who leaves their clothes all over the bedroom floor.
A story for Billy, and everyone who has new wellies!
Just for fun! A poem for everyone who loves purple. (That's you,Tilly!)
Shh...there's a little spider in every picture in every story. His name is Herbert, and he's rather shy. Can you find him?
