Milo and the Mouse Pond (A Chapter-a-Night Book) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The bedtime story your child will love - that quietly weaves in the spelling words they have to learn at school.

If your house knows the Sunday-night spelling list battle, this book was written for you. No worksheets, no highlighted words, no interruptions - just a warm, funny story that happens to contain more than 80% of the 100 Year 3 and 4 Statutory Spelling Words, each used naturally and repeatedly, so the words sink in through story and repetition instead of drills.

The story your child gets:

Milo the mouse wants a swim. Just one little dip! But his best frog Robert won't let him anywhere near his lovely pond.
Meanwhile, nobody on the farm is talking to Foxy - not after his early-morning silliness in the chicken shed left the bunting down, the food bowl broken, and Fernando the bendy cockerel missing most of his feathers. A fox with no friends and a mouse with no pond? That sounds like the beginning of a plan.

It is. It's a terrible plan.

One late-night stuntman roll later, Milo makes a big splash - and suddenly needs every friend he has. Robert, the world's greatest frog. Harriet the hedgehog and her spike putty. Chicken Gloria and her tin of biscuits. But who will finally rescue Milo? And will the best frog in the whole world get there in time?

A warm, funny story about adventure, bravery, second chances and friendship.
