Nibbly Noshers

Book excerpt: These stories are about a group of sweet loving mice called The Nibbly Noshers. They could be made up by anyone with a little bit of imagination and based anywhere in the world. Kathryn happens to live in Morecambe in Lancashire and the best view she can think of is across Morecambe Bay over to the Lake District. This is where the stories are based. These first stories have been written for fun and to capture the imagination of a generation of children, whose main exposure seems to be DVDs, television and computer games. The Nibbly Noshers live in a food orientated world, in which they have lots of adventures. The characters are built upon this devise and the descriptive narrative allows the child's imagination to take over. The mice are tiny creatures who live in a village made up of sweets, for example, their houses are of gingerbread, with rice paper windows and chocolate doors; the roads are of liquorice and the trees are fruit flavoured lollipops. The mice are always hungry and always eating but they get lots of exercise and ALWAYS clean their teeth! They battle with their 'enemies' called the Spice Cats, who shake spices out of their fur and are always after the Nibbly Noshers, although the mice always win!
