A Read-Aloud Book

The Thing on Mount Spring

by Jenny Morris

About The Book

A joyful "read aloud" children's book written in verse - The animals first hear, then see this Thing that just appeared. Its Ballyhooo and silhouette they think is rather weird. With swooshing, spinning Whirligigs, it halts upon Mount Spring. They don't know what this twirler is, this gangly, long white...THING.

Winner of the Purple Dragonfly Book Award, Royal Dargonfly Award, and winner of the Rubery Book Award for the Children's Illustrated Category.
