Isabel’s rumbling tummy keeps her classmates amused.
Everyone has advice about how to stop the rumbles but nothing seems to work. And just as well it doesn’t: when Isabel and her class visit the zoo, it’s Isabel’s amazing growling tummy that saves them from the escaping tiger. And then the tummy is silent. Or is it? If it is, just where does the new noise in the classroom come from?
Loads of fun in this bright, bold and hugely entertaining story.
Isabel's classmates think it is hilarious when Isabel's tummy rumbles in class. Everyone is always giving her advice about it, but nothing seems to work. Then one day the class visits the zoo and Isabel's growling tummy saves them all from an escaping tiger. After this there is no more rumbling, until one day a noise breaks the silence in class. But this time it isn't Isabel's tummy . . .
