The Three Friends
(Scholastic)
978-0590703758, RRP £1.50, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Beguiling water colour pictures and a straightforward narrative relate how adventurer Cat's vivid imagination almost proves his undoing. But thanks to some lateral thinking by his two loyal friends, Duffel, the bear and Sam, the hare, the penitent raconteur's honour is saved and his storytelling prowess turned to good effect. Food for thought here for young listeners and solo readers in the infant school.
