This is a story about one very brave mouse by Jenny Nimmo, creator of Charlie Bone, for Egmont's Blue Banana series. Matty Mouse is in trouble. He's flooded the kitchen floor, and left the front door wide open - again! "Time to put on your thinking cap," his dad tells him. But where can he find it? Mice stories don't get more entertaining than this. Blue bananas are illustrated books for NC Level 2 readers learning to tackle longer prose for the first time with the support of extensive illustrations and speech bubbles. They are carefully designed with education in mind, supporting children's understanding of vocabulary and punctuation. Blue Bananas explore the feelings and emotions of characters in a clear fashion.
