It has been no fun wriggling around in the pond as a larva and the only thing that had kept Sid going had been the thought of biting a nice human leg.
Sid the mosquito isn't the only one exploring the delights of the house called fourteen and its overgrown garden. Derek the rat is sniffing out old socks for supper. Ethel the chicken is busy trying to persuade the world that she is not an orange, while Arnold the mouse is spending more time in the trap than out of it. Frank the ant has a terrible headache and just wants to be left alone, and Joey the budgie is having a bath in the dog's bowl
Colin Thompson's acclaimed stories of the lives of the inhabitants of one particular garden are now, finally, in one newly illustrated collection.
