Read by Roger McGough
Designed to be listened to while following the story in the books, Roger McGough's reading of these two picture books is quite absorbing enough to be heard without the benefit of text or pictures. The highs and lows of any school sports day and the mixed responses to a school trip are given a slightly ironic edge without ever slipping into mockery. Used alone for entertainment and together with the books for developing reading skills, they add tremendous value to two highly successful picture books.
