A Roar, a Moon and Five Missing Sausages
Four funny read-aloud stories in one book.
A dog who looks far too innocent. A cat who has heard quite enough. A moth who thinks the moon is falling. And something roaring in the bedroom drawer. The complete Emergent Reader collection, gathered into a single book for children taking their very first steps into reading.

About the Collection
Every story in this book began the same way — with a small child asking a very serious question about something faintly ridiculous. Where did the sausage go? Why is everyone shouting? Has the moon actually fallen into the pond?
Four complete stories, each just long enough for one sitting, with big warm pictures doing half the reading. Repetition, rhythm and endings a young child can guess a page early — which is exactly the moment reading starts to feel like fun.
The Four Stories
Who Ate It?
Mum made sausages — and now five are missing. Nobody did it. Least of all the dog who looks very, very innocent.
Too Loud!
The house was quiet and Whiskers the cat liked it that way. Then everybody got loud at once.
Don’t Let the Moon Fall
The moon has dropped into the pond. A moth, an ant, a bee and a frog set out to put it back.
There Is a Roar in the Drawer
Something is roaring in the bedroom drawer. Nia and Tobi are almost certain it is a lion.
