| Angela Cater Last year, Mrs Mallard had great problems finding the perfect nest and learnt a lot not only from her experience but also that of the other birds on Platt Fields lake. This year, she is determined to find the perfect nest, safe and warm, for her ducklings to hatch in and a neighbouring school offers the ideal solution. Once the ducklings have hatched, she faces another problem. How will she get her young out of the secure courtyard and back to their home on the lake?
Regular visitors to Platt Fields park will recognise many of the bird characters in this story and the book also contains many useful facts to help children identify the birds they see on the lake.

| Angela Cater The Adventures of Sailor Sam tells the story of a farm cat who is forced to leave home after a misunderstanding. A ships captain takes pity on him and he begins a new life on board as Sailor Sam. Some of the sailors do not understand that cats are mainly nocturnal and soon begin to complain that Sam is lazy. To prove them wrong, he decides to steer the ship at night to speed them to their destination. Alas, cats are not known for their map-reading skills and his actions have humorous and unexpected consequences. Where will the ship end up and will Sailor Sam be forgiven?
