The Ladybird Book of the Shed

The perfect guide for those spending a little too much time in the shed . . .

Using your shed as an office is called shedworking.

Bunny works from his shed. He is a freelance cow-whisperer.

At least, that's what he tells his wife. Bunny is unemployed.

'Michael and Gwen are looking for the placemats Gwen's mother bought them for Christmas.

'Quick,' says Gwen. 'She will be here in twenty minutes!'

'I bet we hid them in here,' says Michael, closing himself inside the quiet shed.

Michael says he will not give up looking for the mats in the shed, even if it takes him all day.'
