Ring! goes the Emergency Telephone and it s Matilda s mummy on the end worrying that Matilda isn t wearing her wellies, or eating properly or almost anything. How can Emily Brown persuade her that sometimes adventures are good?
This brilliant title from this award-winning team is a witty and poignant book about the importance of spending quality time with your children and allowing them to explore the world around them.
