''Black Cats
Following his previous successes in star roles, Tim is naturally astonished and disappointed to be cast as a tree in the school production of Robin Hood . And so dull and lifeless rehearsals turn into a dull and lifeless play... but when disaster strikes, Tim and Flora (playing the part of a none too talented dancing leaf) are able to save the day with some ad-libbing. Packed with jokes that children will adore (and their teachers abhor!), this book lives up to the Black Cats motto of ‘books to pounce on’. The book will be enjoyed by many children in Key Stage Two, and (I suspect) by any teacher who has had to produce a play where Things Just Continue To Go Wrong. Good fun!
