Pages : 72
Book Description
‘Wake up, Bertie. It’s your big day. You are going on your big trip’, said Mum, drawing the curtains to Bertie’s space-age bedroom. Bertie was not good at getting up in the mornings, so he quickly turned over and tried to ignore the fact that at 5 a.m. on this particular day he had to get up. ‘Angya,’ said Bertie angrily as he realised that his mother was not going to let him go back to sleep and that he would have to get up and get himself ready to go on his amazing trip. It was not that he was not very excited; it was just that in his mind, 5 a.m. did not exist as an hour that he saw very often. Bertie was going to be the first rabbit in space. He had been specially chosen from thousands of hopeful bunnies to be on a special spaceship and go to the moon. Bertie brushed his fur and ate his breakfast. He was almost too excited to eat, but his mother ensured that he ate something before he became weightless. Bertie cleaned his teeth before the taxi came at 5.45 a.m. precisely and whisked him off to the space station and launch pad where he was to meet his fellow astronauts

Happy Birthday, Madame Chapeau
Author: Andrea Beaty
Publisher: ABRAMS
ISBN: 1613126816
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
“An eminently stylish tale” from the creators of Ada Twist, Scientist, the #1 New York Times bestseller that’s now a Netflix series (Publishers Weekly). In a three-story house with a shop down below, lived the world’s finest hat maker, Madame Chapeau. Like the Lady herself, all her hats were refined. Brilliantly singular. One of a kind. So begins the tale of a lonely hat maker who matches customers to the perfect hat but lacks her own perfect match in life. Once a year, on her birthday, Madame Chapeau ventures out in her favorite bonnet to dinner. This time, a crow snatches her hat and flies away. Mon dieu! As she chases the crow through the streets of Paris, a baker, a policeman, a cowboy, and others offer her their own hats to wear. None of them are quite right, though, until one special little girl offers her a hat “knitted with love and [her] best birthday wish.” From the bestselling team behind Iggy Peck, Architect and Rosie Revere, Engineer comes this delightful and very stylish story about love, community, and friendship, with some fancy hats thrown in for good measure. “Beaty carries the bounces and lilts to the very last page. Roberts’ colorful, exaggerated hats (many of which are modeled on real designs) whimsically adorn the multicultural Parisian public . . . The underlying suggestion that no one is as alone as they believe is lovely enough, but the fun of reading this aloud elevates it even more.” —Kirkus Reviews
