The first book in a sassy new series from two brand new writers. Four complete stories in each book - perfect for reading aloud and for beginner readers, for boys and for girls. Fantastic for repeat reading too - a child (or adult!) will find something different to enjoy ... every time. Laugh-out-loud half-tone drawings which, like the writing, are full of character and life.
