BOOK

If you open your window one day and see a whole park in the middle of the street, don’t be alarmed. It’s the Wandering Park! Mickey, Fanny, Peter and Manny and their friends have gathered forty-two trees, a bench, a lemonade stand, a parrot and two rubbish bins. They even have a retired forest ranger with a hat and a whistle. What was that? Impossible, you say? Well, nothing is impossible! (Level 2 - Fish: 30pp, 400 words)
