It's the school trip today. There'll be dinosaur bones, giant blue whales, buttons to press, lunches to swap, money to spend and lots of fun to be had. The coach is ready and waiting, but where is Matthew Tibbs?
Characters: Matthew
Set in the diverse neighborhood of a big city, this poignant and universal story of friendship tells about two best pals who share everything together--even making up after a quarrel."Children will recognize their own relationships in the ebb and flow of Matthew and Tilly's friendship."--Booklist"There can never be too many books about the importance of friendship and forgiveness--especially when they are of this caliber."--Publisher's Weekly"This modest story line swells with the visual excitement of Peck's paintings. . . . Their power lingers in the mind long after they have been seen."--School Library Journal
Matthew the mouse lives in a dreary corner of a dusty attic. But a trip to the museum helps him to see his surroundings in a new light. With brush in paw, Matthew sets out to paint “the shapes and colours of joy”.
Characters: Matthew
Where do balloons go at bedtime? Matthew has the answer but, as usual, his bossy older sister Jessica needs to see the proof. A fun book that takes the reader on a journey to the imaginary land of Balloonia.
When Matthew loses a tooth, Jessica decides to make the Tooth Fairy's visit doubly worthwhile. Fantastic for encouraging children to keep their teeth clean enough to warrant a place in the 'hall of perfect teeth'.
