The Haunted House of Buffin Street

Author: Francesca SimonIllustrator: Emily Bolam

The animals of Buffin Street are back again, and happy to be with each other. Except that Fang and Honey are rather worried – their humans wish to sell their house and move, but have Fang and Honey been consulted? Fortunately a problem shared is a problem halved, and Millie comes up with a plan that might just work… Reminiscent of the folk tale ‘The Musicians of Bremen’, this story will be enjoyed by any child who has ever felt left out of things. Teachers or adults will enjoy the lesson in co-operation that the book offers, and Simon’s questions at the end of the book are always a welcome bonus for the child to show just how well the story has been remembered.
