Five (And A Bit) Days In The Life Of Ozzie Kingsford (#2)

Description

Ozzie and his family get ready for the visit of Uncle Rusty from London. As Ozzie says: Prediction: This forthcoming social event will throw my parents into a state of pre-visitor-tension, and our family will suffer from disharmony. And it does. Mum goes into a frenzy of getting the house tidy (read - Ozzie has to clean his room!), the lawn mowed and the menu prepared. The Brat, Snoops, Ozzie and Dad all suffer. Add to that a huge storm, the fact it's nearly Christmas and a few little Ozzie-disasters and it's chaos. Another hilarious story from Val Bird with brilliant illustrations from her daughter Rebecca Cundy. Finalist for the New Zealand Post Book Awards 2009.
