Mr Mayor's Pavlova Palaver

Description

It's time for the annual pavlova-making competition - and all the usually cheerful, friendly folk become secretive and withdrawn, planning their best-ever pavlova recipes. Then - shock, horror - all the eggs in town disappear. To get them back, the townsfolk have to learn how to work together...and together they make the world's biggest pavlova! As we've come to expect, once again Lucy Davey's text celebrates language - glorying in clever alliteration and wonderful-sounding words that children will soon make their own. Wonderful read-aloud.
