The first instalment in a funny and charming two-colour series from a beloved and bestselling illustrator
Its Marty Mooses first day on the job as Postmouse. Hes ironed his uniform, polished his buttons and waxed his whiskers; he's ready to go! But things take a tricky turn when he gets lost in Whisker Warren and needs rescuing by a doolally rabbit named Nibbles, and then gets caught in the crossfire of two less-than-neighbourly toads. Who knew postage could be so perilous!
With lively, funny and characterful illustration and a brilliantly charming voice, this series is perfect for newly confident readers.
