THE SANDMAN’S SAND ISN’T WORKING

THE Sandman is a most unusual little man. Every evening it’s his job to sprinkle sand in the eyes of children everywhere to help them fall asleep.

And that includes the children of Mrs Mouse, but her little ones just can’t seem to settle in for the night.

After calling the Sandman more than once, she begins to wonder if there is something wrong with his sand. Have you ever wondered what would happen if the Sandman’s sand stopped working?

Find out as the Sandman himself unravels the mystery of the little mice children who simply can’t stay asleep and what he does to save the day – or at least – the night.

ANGRY OWL FINDS A HOBBY

ALL is good in the life of Angry Owl – so much so that he decides to join in the beautiful singing he hears every day from a nearby tree.

He grabs a guitar, feeling confident that he’ll be the greatest musician ever. To his great disappointment, the other birds fl y away from the dreadful noise of his playing.

By now Angry Owl really wants to fi nd a hobby so he tries his hand at rugby, cooking, knitting, painting and dancing. But each ends in failure. After a conversation with Mr Dove, he realises that to be good at something, you have to practise and practise. So Angry Owl returns to his guitar and practises until he can play well.

In Angry Owl Finds A Hobby, young children will be entertained by the comical situations in which the owl fi nds himself in his search for the perfect hobby. As ever, Kerryn Ponter’s illustrations are delightful and amusing.

This is the fourth title in her Angry Owl series.
