Frank and Teddy Make Friends

Reading the pencil and watercolour pictures provides plenty of additional activity for the very youngest readers in this tale of true friendship, each spread holding a mass of additional information in its soft-focus illustration.

Because Professor Frank Mouse is so small, the familiar objects portrayed appear large, as many things in life do to young readers. They will also be familiar with the situation where trying to help isn't seen as helpful at all!

Frank is lonely, and makes Teddy so that he has a friend, but it takes him a while to realise that if we want friends, we need to be patient and tolerant, and accept what to us may seem their weaknesses, as well as their strengths.
