Synopsis
Claire has a sore knee and sets off home to tell her mum. Along the way, she meets her friends and spins fantastic tales about how she got hurt—was it a wolf, a dragon, or even a hairy gorilla? Each story is more imaginative than the last! Jill Murphy’s charming picture book celebrates storytelling and the wild power of a child’s imagination.
