There are some nice 'inside previews of these books and reader reviews on Amazon... I didn't dare write too many notes in whsmiths lol

Activities using Q Pootle 5 as the base character .....

• See if the children can draw their own Q Pootle 5 - give them the story book to look at and copy from ~ Supply greens, yellow, grey & cream paper + collage materials.
