Synopsis

A classic gift edition of best-loved Percy the Park Keeper stories.

Percy the park keeper loves to spend time with his animal friends, even though his work in the park keeps him very busy. The animals often need Percy's help, and he is always there to lend a hand.

Read about what happened when a chilly fox needed warming up, or when a dirty badger was offered a bath. Find out how Percy helped an unhappy hedgehog hold a balloon, or a squirrel find her lost acorns. Laugh along as the animals take charge whilst Percy is unwell - with unexpected results!

Learn all about Percy, his friend the mole and his friend the owl, in their special tales. Find out where Percy's favourite spot in the park is, what colour the owl likes best and all about the mole's secret friend. Enjoy these stories and more in this classic treasury edition.
