Books for children
Professor Frank Mouse is a genius at making things, but lives a lonely life. Using his great skill he makes a teddy bear friend from all sorts of oddments. But when teddy tries to emulate Frank’s feats of creativity, things go horribly wrong and he’s sent away. However, as in the best toddler tales, all ends well. Age three and upwards.
Because of his lack of height, young Will is never picked for the soccer team. He watches enviously from the sideline, wishing he could be out there. But it doesn’t stop him from practising football skills alone in his backyard. His moment comes when a boy is taken ill and Will is rushed in to take his place — wearing gear that’s too big. Can he cope with the challenge? The simple text and excellent realistic line illustrations will attract even the most reluctant reader. Age nine and upwards.
