otherwise known as "the Dogfather"...Tommy Donbavand's Funny Shorts
is a series of 4,000-word colour illustrated, chapter-based
readers, which are perfect for bridging the gap between first
chapter books and independent reading.Published by Franklin Watts

Dyslexia Association.
Hello everybody, it's me. Henrietta the Great Go-Getter, and I'm
having a big think. Right now I'm thinking I'd like a baby sister,
so I can dress her up in different sorts of hats. But Mum says
we'll have to wait and see. I'm terrible at waiting.Meanwhile, I'm
an explorer of life, and that includes trees, bugs, animals and all
mysteries. I'm going to school for the very first time, which means
I might have to go as a spy so that I can have a secret peep
inside...When Henrietta sees Olive Higgie crying in the classroom,
she goes on a rescue mission and finds that you only need one
friend in a room full of strangers to feel perfectly
happy.Henrietta's stories are full of funny thoughts and
discoveries, and maybe the best are the ones that take a long time
to come.
You've fed them bread, now they want you dead in this hilariously
comic caper that'll have kids going quackers with laughter, written
by the marvellous Tommy Donbavand (of TV's Scream Street fame). Six
months from now ducks take over the world - and it's down to
Jasmine and Luke to get them back where they belong - on a plate
with some delicious hoisin sauce, mmmmm... But the leader of the
ducks - The Drake - stands in their way. Tommy Donbavand's Funny
Shorts is a series of colour illustrated, chapter-based readers
which kids won't be able to resist. So make sure to check them all
out (the books that is, not Tommy's actual shorts). This title is
published by Franklin Watts EDGE, which produces a range of books
to get kids reading with confidence. EDGE - for books kids can't
put down.
