Smiley Tiger
Every summer Ben spends part of his holiday with old Mrs Merryfield. The two friends agree about pretty well everything, though there's one thing about which they differ; she likes large animals, Ben likes small ones. One summer Mrs Merryfield plays a joke on Ben and he's determined to play one back. However, this determination also has disastrous consequences for the friendship, but all ends happily and Ben learns a lesson or two. Barbara Willard's sure touch as a story-teller for all ages is evident in this credible, enjoyable book for new solo readers.
