• Co-author Elspeth Rae was diagnosed with dyslexia when she was eight years old.

• This is the second book in a series that introduces one new phonogram (a letter or combination of letters that represent a sound) in each story.

The first book covers the ck , sh , ch and th phonograms and this book covers the nk , ng , tch and dge phonograms.
