Cable the Crow 

Once there was an easily frightened by almost anything, and not particularly sensible crow, named Cable who quit at the slightest hurdle. Bullied by his bossy wife to gather worms for their breakfast, he reluctantly sets about his given challenge, coming face to face with his worst nightmares and some just plain stupid obstacles on his journey. Meeting up with his quirky relatives and friends along this seemingly fruitless journey; does Cable finally succeed with this mission to gather worms? Does he make it back to his home safely in one piece? Join this exasperating journey with this very special crow and find out what happened.An energetic and charming picture book, containing several short contemporary messages, such as litter and the environment etc., along with eye-popping detailed illustrations. There are nuggets of humour for the grown-ups reading aloud to children although the language is accessible for children to read independently, as they are developing their reading skills.
