Amazing Axel and the Mango Master Plan
Inspired partly by a previous job in my youth working on banana plantations in the north-east coast of Australia. The rest is just some weird figment of my imagination.
A complete text children’s storybook with beautiful illustrations. Aimed at parents/teachers to read aloud, or intermediate young readers. Suggested reading age 8+
Amazing Axel and the Mango Master Plan tells the story of an ant colony and their beloved mango tree deep in the jungle. The irresistible temptation of mangoes soon causes the ant’s home to fall under attack from some devious invaders. Elsewhere in the jungle, a threat of another kind is brewing. Can the courageous Prince Axel devise a plan and lead his troops to victory? This story shows the power of cooperation, teamwork, and the ability to solve problems when times get tough.
My personal favourite with a quirky and comical plot, Amazing Axel and the Mango Master Plan is just a bit of fun, probably suited to slightly older children.
Book Dimensions: 12.85 X 19.84cm (5.06” X 7.81”).
