Vanessa Julian-Ottie Book order

The book features peek-a-boo holes that give children hints about the upcoming adventures.

A Swiss orphan is heartbroken when she must leave her beloved grandfather and their happy home in the mountains to go to school and to care for an invalid girl in the city.

This book has traditional tales and their modern counterparts, the old much-loved nonsense of Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll and the contemporary nonsense of Michael Rosen and Kit Wright. Greek legends and stories with a modern setting, traditional songs and nursery rhymes and finger and action rhymes. Some of the pieces are funny, some are sad and some are thought provoking, but there is something here to be enjoyed by all the family
