Billy's Beetle

Billy had lost his beetle. Who will be the one to find it?

As we had been talking about different animals on Noah's Ark this week, we thought this would be a great story as our next book from our focus author - Mick Inkpen.

There was lots of help to try and find Billy's beetle - including a girl, a man with a sniffy dog, a hedgehog, a woman without sausages, a polar bear, an oompah band and an elephant! 

At last the beetle was found - but then Billy was missing!

We asked the children where they thought he might be . . .

Sienna - "At home with his toys"

Oliver L - "He might be at the playground playing on his own"

We won't tell you where he was so that we don't spoil the story for you - but here are a few of the children's thoughts when we had finished the book . . . 

Joe - "Me saw an elephant, me liked it 

cause he was in the book"

Zoe - "I liked the hedgehog cause he's sweet"

William - "I liked that they found the little boy's beetle"

We hope you enjoy the story too.
