Anton and the Battle
Publisher: Gecko Press
Little Anton is walking along when he meets Luke. Anton says he is stronger than Luke and lifts a big stone. Luke lifts a bigger stone. Anton picks up three heavy logs, so Luke carries a piano!
Luke plays the piano loudly, so Anton beats a big bass drum. The conflict continues involving man-eating animals and even four-headed dragons. But then a small dog appears and barks at the boys – and they both run off in terror to hide in a tree. Soon they are competing over who feels the most hungry and thirsty!
This delightful book has lively pictures and a humorous story that will make young readers smile. Ideal for classroom use.
