'a fantasy adventure for the young and old. The book is laced with humour and action throughout.'
- MR RIPLEY's REVIEWS

'This book is one of the most humorous fantasy novels I've ever read. Sam Wilding is a breath of fresh air for fantasy. The book has encouraged me to try more books in a fantasy genre. The novel is a wonderful mix of mystery, drama, comedy and fantasy. A fantastic read which I highly recommend.'
-- Waterstones Young Proof Readers

A beautiful picture book for younger children featuring two sister mice - Tiffy and Toffy. When Tiffy and Toffy find out that they have no food left they have to make the journey to the barn. Unfortunately Bertha Barn Owl turns up and tries to spoil their night. At the end, go back and help Tiffy and Toffy find the pieces of corn they dropped amongst the pages. Illustrated by Scott Wallace and written by Sam Wilding, this is a story full of excitement and the kind of yucky stuff children love.

Numeracy, read along, colourful pictures, exciting story.

Suitable for 3 - 7 years
