Clever Clive / Loopy Lucy
Illustrated by Jacqui Thomas
This '2 books in 1' format always appeals and these two stories have been very popular. Joan Lingard brings a twist of the unusual to an everyday situation. Clever Clive amazes everyone, including himself, when he can suddenly and most uncharacteristically provide an instant answer to any question he's asked. Loopy Lucy loves doing cartwheels. One day she loops over a high wall into a new and magical garden which others see only as a piece of wasteland used to dump rubbish. These are both stories to be read and re-read, delightfully and helpfully illustrated, to be shared with children or ideal for the child who is in the early stages of solo reading.
