Animal Tales - bundles of fur, fluff and fun

Average rating

4 out 5

When Mary Mary finds her little brother Billy seems floating above his bed, with his nose, tummy and toes touching the ceiling, she is astounded. Never before has anyone in Mary’s family been able to fly – even though their name is Bird! An engaging tale from everybody’s favourite animal author Dick King-Smith.

I liked this book because it was funny and Billy went flying and his mummy and daddy didn’t know he could fly.
