A fun, heartwarming animal story, ideal for children practising their reading at home or in school, by Ben Bailey Smith, author of World Book Day book The Last Word.

Crumbs. That’s all that’s left in Dan’s lunchbox. CRUMBS! Well who’s eaten his sandwich? Could it have been Henry the horse? Bill the pig? Or even Bridget the chicken? One thing’s for sure, Dan’s going to find out just who ate his lovely egg mayonnaise sandwich.

This fun, rhyming story from rapper, actor and comedian Ben Bailey Smith (author of the picture books Bear and Bear Moves) is perfect for children who are learning to read by themselves at Key Stage 1 (KS1). Features dynamic illustrations from Sav Akyuz and fun characters young readers will find hard to resist.

Bloomsbury Young Readers are the perfect way to get children reading, with book-banded, phonically decodable stories by brilliant authors like Julia Donaldson. They are packed with gorgeous colour illustrations and include inside cover notes to help adults reading with children, as well as ideas for activities related to the stories.

‘Every child needs a Bloomsbury Young Reader. Fun, stretching, just the right length, full of adventurous vocabulary and punctuation.’ (Julie-Ann McCulloch, Teacher)
