AND THE SCHOOL CONCERT
Written by Diana Neild
Illustrated by Philip Webb
$18.99
Piggity-Wiggity is at a loose end. All of his brothers and sisters are preparing for the school concert, and nobody has time to play with him. But when showtime finally arrives it's Piggity-Wiggity who saves the day. As funny and clever as the two earlier titles.
STRANGER MADNESS
Melanie Drewery & Jenny Cooper
$12.99
A first chapter book for 7-9 year olds, the funny sequel to The Mad Tadpole Adventure.
FINNIGAN & THE PIRATES
Sherryl Jordan
$18.99
The talented & multi-award winning author Sherryl Jordan is writing for a younger audience here (7-10 years) than she normally does but it is another great story with charming full colour illustrations also by her. I guess you might call this a second level chapter book, a longer and more complex story than Stranger Madness mentioned above.
