What is Sorry, Miss Folio! about?
A child borrows a much-loved book from Miss Folio’s library just before Christmas, but returning it proves surprisingly difficult. Each month brings a new, increasingly outrageous excuse: unexpected adventures, mishaps and even a visit from Santa keep the book away from the library. As Miss Folio’s patience wears thin, the child continues enjoying the story until, at last, the overdue book makes its way back. A playful celebration of reading, imagination and the trouble caused by loving a book too much.
