Bobby, Charlton and the Mountain

Bobby, Charlton and the Mountain

by Michael Foreman (Illustrator), Michael Foreman (Illustrator), Michael Foreman (Illustrator), Sophie Smiley (Author)

Synopsis

Charlie has a football mad family -her mother gives a yellow card rather than a ticking off (because you can't argue with the ref. can you?). Her brother Bobby has been chosen to present a bouquet to the Queen, and he is desperate to earn a football strip to wear for the occasion! He even tries busking - singing football anthems, naturally! Luckily in her letter-writing class at school, Charlie sends one off to Bobby's absolute hero, a great goalie (and as big as a mountain!): a much more successful approach.
