Harry's Birthday Bridge (Aurorasauras & Artie Bear, Book 29)

Aurorasauras & Artie Bear, Book 29 by Paul Rawly

Aurorasauras's cousins, Harry and Tommy, are staying with her and Mum for Harry's birthday, and Harry has a big idea: a bridge for his toy train, right across the whole sitting room. A blue cloth becomes a river, cushions become the banks, and the presents arrive: building blocks, a station sign, a toy passenger, paper tickets and a little tree from Kit.

Harry lays a long piece of cardboard across two towers. It looks splendid, until the train rolls on and the middle dips! Artie helps him think: what could hold up the middle? A new pillar, a wider base and a slow, careful try, and the train crosses safely to the station, with Kit's tree beside a bench with a view.

A cheerful birthday story about building, trying again and working as a team.

The story is followed by 10 activity pages with story questions, feelings prompts and drawing spaces to share together. For children aged 3 to 7.
