Pumpkin's Birthday Box Adventure (Aurorasauras & Artie Bear, Book 31)

Aurorasauras & Artie Bear, Book 31 by Paul Rawly

Pumpkin's birthday begins with a soft new bed and a little toy mouse. But the ginger-and-white kitten sniffs his presents, then climbs straight into the empty cardboard box. When Mum is in the kitchen, Pumpkin peeps out and whispers to Aurorasauras and Artie Bear: "It isn't just a box. It's the beginning of an adventure."

The friends add a door, windows and a blanket, and with Pip and Polly they build a cardboard village of tunnels and little shops across the sitting-room floor. Pumpkin explores every doorway, until his head fits, his shoulders fit, but his fluffy bottom does not! A bigger doorway, a play mat from Kit and a birthday dish of his usual food with a little plain fish make the day complete.

A funny, cosy story for every child who knows that the box can be the best present of all.

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.
