Mr Birdsnest and the House Next Door

Book Synopsis

Beautifully packaged book from Children’s Laureate, Julia Donaldson and illustrated by the wonderful Hannah Shaw. A tiger in the back garden! A bird-eating spider in the cupboard!

But when it appears that Mr Birdsnest has kidnapped the children’s grandma they must sneak back in to rescue her! A delightful and cleverly written story by the Children’s Laureate, Julia Donaldson. Suitable for 5-8s with reading age of 6+.
