Introducing a whole new series of children’s stories about the magical world of Ballyyahoo.
Ballyyahoo isn’t just a beautiful little Irish town.
It’s packed with fun and surprises – like mad donkeys and Squawk-birds and there might even be a real live witch!
IRELAND’S BEST-KEPT SECRET
Now, you’d probably like to visit this special little town, but they don’t call Ballyyahoo Ireland’s best-kept secret for nothing.
You see if towns could be shy, then Ballyyahoo would be the shyest town there ever was.
Long ago, the Ballyyahooians took a special Ballyyahoo oath never to reveal the whereabouts of the town to strangers and you can never break a Ballyyahoo oath.
Never mind, because there is another way to meet the people of Ballyyahoo and that’s through the stories of Ballyyahoo.
Ballyyahoo children’s stories encourage children to read and love nature.
Each story contains links to the Ballyyahoo website and readers can click on these links to find more information about the nature and wildlife of Ireland.
