Betsey Biggalow the Detective
Lis Toft
The second quartet of tales featuring Betsey Biggalow, an assertive young miss who lives on a Caribbean island. Herein, the ever determined Betsey learns a lesson about bike riding the hard, or rather, the wet way; entertains friends and relations with her musical renditions; plays detective and tracks down her missing teddy bear and more; and flies a kite - well, almost. The warmth and humour of the tales is underlined by Lis Toft's charming line drawings. Stories to read and re-read, either alone or shared.
