A DUCKLING CALLED BUTTON PB – HELEN PETERS-ELLIE SNOWDON

The second in a fantastic series of animal stories for younger readers by Waterstones Children s Book Prize-shortlisted author Helen Peters, with beautiful black-and-white illustrations by Ellie Snowdon. Jasmine s dad is a farmer, and her mum is a large-animal vet, so Jasmine spends a lot of time caring for animals and keeping them out of trouble. Unfortunately, this often means she gets into hot water herself… When a nesting duck is killed in a terrible accident, Jasmine and her best friend Tom rescue the eggs and try to hatch them in an incubator. It s a risky business but soon Button is running around, getting into scrapes. Until the day he gets into a scrape with no escape… Brilliant storytelling that will make you laugh and cry, this is Dick King-Smith for a new generation. Perfect for readers aged seven and up.
