Connie & Rollo

'ROLLO GOT THE TUMMY ACHE,

ATE TOO MUCH OF GRANNY'S CAKE!'

Connie Button amazes her parents when she begins to speak - somehow she can add up even the biggest numbers in her head! And when Rollo says HIS first words, they are all in rhyme. But will Connie's brainy tricks get her into trouble? And can Rollo live a life in verse?

A very funny story from bestselling animal story-teller Dick King-Smith

Reviews

An amusing tale

—— TES

The sheer daftness of the ideas will keep kids' attention clamped eagerly to every page

Dick King-Smith needs no introduction and these two tales will win new fans . . . Would be suitable for early independent readers - but adults won't mind having them read to them either
