Book description
More adventures of the irrepressible Iggy as told by her sister Flo, by
Jenny Valentine, winner of the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize for her
debut novel, Finding Violet Park.
At home, all Iggy could think and talk about was babies.
“Pleeease have one more, “ she said. “Just one.”
Iggy is OBSESSED with babies and wants more than anything in the world
to have a new baby brother or baby sister to play with. But mum is far
too tired to have another baby - she says just thinking about having
another one makes her tired, so when Iggy's Auntie Kate comes to visit
all the way from America with some very special news, Iggy can't believe
her luck.
This is the third outing for Jenny Valentine's endearing siblings. Each
chapter is a complete and satisfying story in its own right, perfect for
newly-confident readers to enjoy alone, or for reading aloud at bedtime.
Illustrated throughout in with black & white line drawings by Joe
Berger, who was nominated for the Booktrust Early Years Award for his
picture book, Bridget Fidget. Praise for Iggy and Me
