Book Description
It's Grandad's birthday & Colin wants to send him a present in the mail... except in a massive mixup, Colin sends a Pickle instead! Join the fun & imaginative adventure through the mailbox as Colin chases the pickle, meets the Postage Bunnies & learns that Grandads love their Grandkids, even when they get Pickles for their birthday! Kids will be imagining their own adventures in the mailbox, and will be eager to start sending pickles to their Grandparents! This story is perfect fans of books such as Room on the Broom & The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson, The Worst Princess & Dogs Don't Do Ballet by Anna Kemp, and Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin. Read the Whole Story Below... For this story to begin, an introduction must be made. Our young lad's name is Colin, his Grandad's birthday is today. With gift in hand and spring in step, young Colin made his way, to the old and rusty postbox that sat on Rathdowne Lane. The postbox neared, he gave a grin as he picked up his pace... Instead he got all twisted up and fell flat on his face! The stamps flew high, the gift flew low and then here comes a riddle, for from his pocket flying fast out shot a juicy pickle. It hit the stamps and one stuck true then flew into the box... Colin leapt up and pulled the lid His eyes grew wide with shock! Where should be letters piled high with stamps and envelopes, instead there was a staircase leading where? He did not know... He jumped into the postbox and ran down those spiral stairs. There ahead he saw the pickle being carried by a... hare?! A postage hare in uniform official as they come, was carrying that pickle at quite a speedy run. It would not stop at Colin's shout so chase had to be made... Never had a stranger sight been seen 'neath Rathdowne Lane. Postage Hares all stopped and stared as Colin chased and chased. That postage hare was faster than young Colin had ever faced. Up and up and right and left and up and left and right. That pickle was almost in his reach, he reached with all his might! His hand wrapped round that pickle, the hare let out a cry... It threw them out the tunnel and up into the sky! And what a throw - so strong and true Over homes and trees and rocks. Colin landed perfectly Inside a letterbox! Stuffed neat inside that box was he and feeling rather sad... The lid went up, two eyes looked down, The eyes of his Granddad! Colin leapt up from that box Then sadly gave a sniff "I only have this pickle, I lost your birthday gift..." Granddad laughed and hugged young Colin, giving him a tickle... he didn't care about the gift, he just said "I love pickles!"
