Entertaining

The Battle Of Bubble And Squeak by Philippa Pearce is an entertaining children’s novel, just perfect for ages eight years and over.

The reader meets Bubble and Squeak who are two gerbils in need of a new home. All the family, except Mum, want to keep them. All they need to do now is to convince Mum that she wants to give them a home!

All the book is well presented. I loved the illustrations.

We see how easily we get attached to our pets. It is heartbreaking if we fear something happening to them.

Philippa Pearce writes a wonderful tale that will entertain you, whatever your age.
