WHEN RELATIVES COME... 

AUNT ROSE COMES TO STAY! IN 1ST FORM!

This is another Holly and Tom story.

A letter arrives from Aunt Rose asking if she 

can come to stay. Tom and Holly have never 

met her, so Dad shows them a photo of her. 

The family get Aunt Rose’s bedroom ready. 

They go to the shops to buy new curtains, a 

new chair and a new quilt for the bed. Aunt 

Rose arrives in an open-topped sports car. 

She likes her bedroom because the colours of 

the new curtains, the new chair and the new 

quilt match her dress, her shoes and her bag. 

Tom and Holly go to the car to help Aunt 

Rose bring in some presents. Unfortunately, 

it is so windy that all the labels are blown 

off the presents. Aunt Rose cannot remember 

who the presents are for. Each member of the 

family gets the wrong present and they all 

laugh.

After listening to the story, kids coloured all that Holly and Tom's family bought for Aunt Rose: curtains, a chair, her shoes, and her bag, since they saw the illustrations of the story in black and white.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU GAVE A DOG A HAMBURGER? 

AND IF YOU GAVE A CAT SOME MILK?

       AND IF YOU GAVE A MOOSE A MUFFIN?

Ask 2nd formers!! They know it very well! 

If a big hungry moose comes to visit, you might give him a muffin to make him feel at home. If you give him a muffin, he'll want some jam to go with it. When he's eaten all your muffins, he'll want to go to the store to get some more muffin mix.

In this hilarious sequel to If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, the young host is again run ragged by a surprise guest. Young readers  delighted in the comic complications that follow when a little boy entertains a gregarious moose.
