PRESS PLAY

The cover of 'Press Play'

Mum's not there to get Nicky, Tasha and Little Joe up and out to school that morning. But she's left a mysterious note on top of the cassette player. It just says:

 Press Play

Nicky and Tasha must get themselves ready for school and get baby Joe ready for playgroup without waking Dad!

They have to get dressed, make porridge for breakfast and find Joe's toy rabbit. Then they have to creep into Dad's bedroom and set the alarm clock for him.

But it is very hard to get ready quietly, especially when your baby brother is crying for his toy rabbit!



"very successful ... there are plenty of laughs"
