A perfect bridge between a picture book and a first novel, this hilarious chapter-book-with-pictures tells more adventures of the wonderful Gaskitt family. After introduction to the Gaskitts – Mr and Mrs Gaskitt, their baby Gary, their twins Gus and Gloria and, of course, their cat Horace - you’re swept off on a pacy adventure told in words and pictures. Mrs Gaskitt finds a parcel, Mr Gaskitt loses a baby, strange things happen at school and Horace becomes a hero. Fun for all.
The fourth of Allan Ahlberg's mini-masterpieces for early readers.
In this thrilling, thunderous (and extra-long) Gaskitt story, Mrs Gaskitt finds a parcel, Mr Gaskitt loses a baby, Horace has mixed feelings about a bird, and the twins' teacher, Mrs Fritter, is - ooer! - not herself. Why? How? When? Why? (again). The children smell a rat!
