Aunt Sally is a curious cat, always
getting into something, especially trouble. Author Jean Peel has published the
first two of her rhyming, illustrated Aunt Sally books. There will be a total
of nine books in the series.
Here is an excerpt of How Aunt Sally Got
Her Name:
This story you're about to hear
Will hopefully please, so do not fear.
It's how Aunt Sally was given her name
By a little girl called Matilda-Jane.
The story begins a long time ago,
On the opening day of the annual show,
When a mother cat left her two kittens
to play
So she could go hunting to find some
prey.
Their home was in a farmer's shed.
The bales of hay made a comfy bed.
They learned to keep out of the farmer's
way.
There were lots of places to hide and
play.
The kittens soon grew tired of their
games
And ended up calling each other names.
When her brother curled up to have a nap
Aunt Sally ran off without thought of
mishap.
Mrs. Peel’s second Aunt Sally book is How
Aunt Sally Went to the Zoo.
And here is the book cover:
About the Author:
Being an avid reader all her life, Jean
has always been a casual writer, and only recently finished her ninth Aunt
Sally manuscript. At the request of her sons, and perhaps for the benefit of
her grandchildren, Jean is currently documenting her own memories and those of
her mother; at least the ones that she can remember.
Opening herself to the world of
creativity, Jean has also become addicted to card making, and more recently
painting with oils and acrylics. She continues to bring more of her Aunt Sally
stories to life, whilst working on a novel she’s had sitting on her writing
desk for some time; that is, when she’s not overcome with writer’s block.
