What is A present for Freddie Small about?
Freddie Small hates bedtime. The moment his parents mention it, he lets out a huge “Waaaa!” Mum’s reading sends her to sleep, while Dad’s singing leaves Freddie’s ears ringing. Now Freddie is going to stay with his grandmother, and his worried parents wonder how she will cope. But Gran is calm, clever and full of ideas. She has a surprising plan to help Freddie settle down at night—but will his parents agree to try it?
