Everyone in Cross Fell knows that Mrs Brown loves to read and so her recommended read for this half term is Tattybogle by Sandra Horn. Mrs Brown was lucky enough to meet the author of this book and get a signed copy and the enthusiasm that the author had rubbed off and made it one of Mrs Brown's firm favourites for this time of year. Why not give it a try?
Tattybogle, the scarecrow, has a head full of straw and cheerful thoughts. The rain is Tattybogle's music, the wind is his dancing partner. Then one day the playful wind blows too hard, and all that is left of Tattybogle is an old stick. But that is only the start of a glorious new life, because the stick starts to take root in the earth, and becomes a tree . . .
