The Necklace and The Present
by Libby Gleeson (Author) Freya Blackwood (Illustrator)
Delightful, warm and irresistible - two endearing stories about Cleo, a little girl with a big imagination who always finds a way to have fun.
In the first story, Cleo desperately wants a necklace. Her parents say special presents are only for birthdays - but Cleo doesn't want to wait.
In the second story, it's her mum's birthday and Cleo doesn't know what to give her - until she has the best idea of all.
