Meet Tommy Twitchnose, who lives with his wife and two children in
a cosy little house under the floorboards in a converted barnhouse.
Tommy and his family have a happy life, foraging for scraps of food
and doing up their home with bits and pieces dropped by the humans
who live above them. But then, one day, their peaceful life is
rudely interrupted. A large family of town mice suddenly appears on
their doorstep, led by a daring and determined mouse called Danny,
who announces that they're moving in... The adventures that follow
will charm, amuse and amaze all who read them - children and
grown-ups alike! Contents 1. The surprise visitors Tommy Twitchnose
and his family receive an unwelcome surprise when some unexpected
visitors arrrive, led by the daring Danny Dockmouse (Tommy's
long-forgotten cousin), who has led his large family all the way
from London to seek a better life in the country. 2. A happy
Harvest Festival Tommy and his family join the church mice, who
live nearby, to celebrate the Harvest Festival. The joyful service
is conducted by a mouse by the name of the Reverend Albert Pew, who
leads them in singing some funny animal versions of well-known
harvest songs, and tells them about his new plan to make sure the
church mice (who are very poor) will have enough food to last them
another year. 3. Fun and games at a party All the mice are invited
to the annual garden party held in the grounds of the stately home
of Lord Whiskers of Whiskerton. They travel there on the Moles'
Underground Express and when they arrive are amazed by a series of
daring circus acts performed by a group of acrobatic frogs, two
squirrels and the brave contestants in the annual Grand
International Vole Swimming Race. 4. A visit to the Houses of
Parliament Lord Whiskers is an honourable member of the House of
Mice, which has its premises under the Houses of Parliament in
Westminster. He invites his new friends Tommy and Danny to join him
on one of his visits, but trouble follows when Danny decides to
explore the House upstairs and ends up trapped in a Big Red Box
used by the Prime Minister. 5. The Small Animal Rescue Service The
Reverend Albert Pew asks Tommy to take charge of a new venture
called the Small Animal Rescue Service, which is designed to
transport sick animals quickly to the Small Animal Hospital. It is
the day of the parish picnic at the seaside, and Tommy flies there
on the back of a friendly seagull; but before they get there they
notice an animal in distress on the rocks below, and swoop down to
the rescue. 6. The very naughty squirrel Tommy's wife, Tiggy, helps
to run the new village shop, but is alarmed when she discovers that
someone is helping themselves to things without paying. PC Charles
Catchem takes charge of the operation to find out who's behind
crime, and with the help of Barney the Barn Owl he devises a clever
trap to catch the thief red-handed.
Discover what happens when two bears who are worlds apart embark on
the journeys of a lifetime and find that sometimes differences are
only skin-deep. A poignant and heart-warming story which teaches
little learners about embracing differences, while carrying a
subtle environmental message. Delicate illustrations and animal
characters bring the natural world to life and transport readers
across the globe, from the northern forests to the icy Arctic.
Gentle text and an uplifting, family-oriented ending make this
perfect for reading with your little one. From the author of
Everybody's Welcome and In Your Arms.
Set in Morocco, this sweet story of friendship and shared customs
between a Jewish family and their Muslim neighbors provides a great
introduction to the Moroccan Jewish holiday of Mimouna. It's
Mimouna -- the Moroccan Jewish holiday that marks the end of
Passover, and when blessings are given for a year of prosperity and
good luck. Miriam wants to help her mother make the sweet moufletot
pancakes they always eat at their Mimouna party, but after
following the rules of Passover, they don't have any flour in the
house! So Miriam's mother takes her to visit their Muslim
neighbors, who are happy to share. The women drink tea together,
and Miriam makes friends with a young girl named Jasmine. Miriam
almost drops the bag of flour when she and Jasmine go to fetch it
from the storeroom -- but luckily Jasmine is there to catch it!
Jasmine and her family then join Miriam's family and friends to
celebrate Mimouna. This sweet story of friendship and shared
customs will introduce North American readers to the Mimouna
holiday. The book concludes with an author's note and a recipe for
making moufletot, the sweet, paper-thin pancakes featured in the
story, so that readers can enjoy, too. Key Text Features recipes
