Illustrated by
‘Babington, wake up!’ urges Mum. ‘We’re going to the library!’
Mum takes Babington to a huge library. There are hundreds of books. All of
them are colourful and interesting.
‘Are there any adventure stories?’ Babington asks the librarian.
‘No, silly!’ laughs Mum. ‘This is an extraordinary library!’
Mum takes a book from the shelf. It says Film Star. Mum opens the book.
Suddenly, Mum is in a film! She is camping, and there is a mysterious sound!
Babington opens a book called Dinosaur Explorer.
Suddenly, he’s in a jungle. It’s scorching! He sees a nest with some huge
eggs. A friendly bird flies past. Its feathers are green and yellow.
Babington hears a ROAR behind him. Whoa! He sees a T-rex! It has very big
teeth. Uh-oh, it looks at Babington fiercely…
‘Wake up!’ says Mum. ‘It’s time for school!’
‘Don’t take me to that library again,’ Babington begs Mum.
‘What library?’ asks Mum.
