Every child needs a Bloomsbury Young Reader. Fun, stretching, just the right length, full of adventurous vocabulary and punctuation, [with] tips to support the parent or carer at home or the teacher who needs inspiration at the end of a busy day. * Julie-Ann McCulloch, Specialist EAL Teacher, Stockport Local Authority *
Bethan loves the cute animals and often wants things she has to wait for so she could relate to the main character. She has now read this book four times which is something she very rarely does. She loves the idea that it is her own book and a chapter book. * Katie Potter, mother of Bethan, aged 6 *
