Jane Clarke Bücher

A brilliant and lousy read for beginner readers... The happy subjects and Royal family of the Kingdom of Hairia love their hair - it's what they live for. All of them have great hair and celebrate the fact every day. But - shock, horror - the whole kingdom has just had its first bad hair day... there are nits everywhere! No one knows what to do until the Royal family decide to rally their country out of these lousy times! Soon the King's pop single - No Nits, Today - hits the Number One spot. Can Princess Primrose come up with the idea that will see the lice off once and for all?

'From the time Gilbert the Great White Shark was a tiny pup, Raymond the Remora stuck to him like glue...'Then one day, Gilbert wakes up to discover that Raymond has gone. Mrs Munch does everything she can to help her little shark come to terms with his loss and - slowly but surely - Gilbert learns to smile a wobbly smile through his sadness. He knows that Raymond will always be in his heart and, when mum takes Gilbert to the wreck, a chance meeting helps him find happiness once more. Jane Clarke's heart-warming story, exquisitely illustrated by Charles Fuge, is funny and sad in equal measure. It will touch anyone who has experienced the pain of losing a friend or the joy of making a new one.
