The Moorhen Mayor's Mistake

Barnaby Quill

A moorhen in a very large hat has double-booked herself, and now the whole river is whispering about it. For children who like their animal stories with proper meetings, secret notes, and tea parties that go slightly wrong, this is a gentle comedy of manners set on a busy waterway. Sadie Bracken reads with warm, unhurried clarity, giving each creature its own distinct voice without ever tipping into silly. Best for ages 6 to 9, especially good for bedtime or quiet car journeys.
