A gorgeous, funny, charming and original book, filled with Emer's brilliant humour - and a whumping great big dose of "awwwww" as well!
We jumped the gun a bit because we couldn't wait to tell you all about it back in January - ReadItDaddy's Chapter Book of the Week - Week Ending 31st January 2020: "Pests" by Emer Stamp (Hodder Children's Books)
...but it's now properly out, with a superb glow-in-the-dark cover perfect for tucking up with before you curl up in your mousey bed!
"Pests" is the story of a busy little mouse named Stix.
Tiny yet brave, Stix is a mouse who manages to keep out of trouble - most of the time. Stix is actually very kind and caring, but to join the ranks of "The Pests" Stix might have to change his ways.
Stix's wise grandma teaches him that staying away from humans, and out of trouble, will enable him to have a long and happy life - just like hers. But the Peewit Educatorium for Seriously Terrible Scoundrels (Yep, PESTS) demands more than just stealth from its members - and so Stix is about to do something very silly indeed - ignore his Grandma's sage advice and get into all sorts of mischief.
But is it worth changing your behaviour just to fit in with a whole new crew of friends?
